Go read the thread about the statement made by Scott Barnes today over the incident and consider this thread dead. You guys are the worst at beating a dead horse🙄 This incident and accusation was serious and the fact that it was discussed for a mere 7 days is not excessive. We've had much longer threads on far less consequential topics. Sorry if it ruined your day. And you are the one who bumped up the thread, not me. |

I think you meant the best. If someone was the worst at beating a dead horse they wouldn’t be any good at it, or wouldn’t do it at all, which is just the opposite of what you infer. |

Some of you people would make very bad detectives. You would be defective detectives. Entirely too many assumptions based on predetermined suppositions. They may have INDENTIFIED an individual that Simon had a verbal exchange with when she returned to the court from the locker room. This would seem obviously plausible since it was told that Simon had to be restrained and taken back to the locker room by teammates when this part of the incident happened. Thus there would be substantiative witnesses to this. If that is so what can really be validated from this. To assess this we have to put the sequence into prospective via backtracking. Do we really know what was said during this latter exchange?. If so there would be witnesses to this. We do know that something impelled Simon to return to the court from the locker room so if the racial slurs did happen and were that reason they would have happened before she initially went to the locker room. And her coming back out was in response to what was alleged to have happened earlier. These two incidents were separated from each other by time. The allegations that Moore tweeted about seem more likely to have been in respect to what was alleged to have occurred during the first incident since she specified fans not fan. Does anyone based on the later confrontation even know what transpired during the first one. That is based solely on Simon's perspective. There were also things supposedly said by the teammates that brought her back to the locker room that discounted the racial aspect of the incidents. Just too many If's and other unknowns to come to any conclusion that is anything but speculation. It is just as likely that Moore removed her tweet when other teammates advised her that the incident might not have happened as Simon first perceived it. The motivation to remove might have been to protect Simon and not Oregon St. Considering the time line that also seems very likely and as probable as any of the other proposed scenarios. It might make sense to quit speculating on something no one really knows enough about. To attempt to fill in unknowns with un-objective speculation brings into question the intent and agenda's of the individuals involved. I am done commenting on this issue. I did not come to this site to get involved in discussions about anything other than basketball. beaverfever- My apologies- had I read your previous post where you deal with this issue, I wouldn't have even bothered to respond with mine. Yet reading all my posts on this subject, who's speculations turned out to be closer to the truth? Or perhaps it was to difficult for you to integrate the variable aspects I touched upon. The difference is that my counter speculations are supported by logic and reason which explains the need for length. Actually I cut it down quite a bit. I could have written a thesis on each of the variables. You wouldn't want me to get into any speculations on the motivation behind your post. Oh and to do a preemptive strike on any poster who will accuse me of welshing on my promise to not post on this subject again- This post is in response to baseball1111 critic on my post. |

Yet your post is the longest and just as speculative. Hmmmmm... good idea stick to hoops. Yet reading all my posts on this subject, who's speculations turned out to be closer to the truth?

Without the "wordiness" and pretense... still a "pile" of conjectures. Lol... "closer" counts in many things, however not in this case, unless of course you are in some unwritten contest. Most words to "speculate closest to the truth"? Lol Alas still speculation and no better and and no worse than those you attempted to critique. And, still posted on the topic... again. My speculation you "willtalk" again, but I'll not keep track how close to correct that may be!😁 |
