Jaylen Brown initially said he wasn’t leaving - until he saw all the backlash and other company responses and then decided to leave too. Proves he’s just doing it to avoid any backlash for himself instead of out of his own beliefs and condemnation.

Don’t get me wrong, it is a good thing he’s eventually decided to leave, but it’s disappointing his first statement was that he wouldn’t be making any change.

Yeah, between that and Jaylen’s recent antivax bs I’ve really stopped liking him. He’s a solid baller but he’s got some real dumb and bad beliefs and behaviors

Most of these ppl are not educated. Not a single person should give any credence to anything they say outside of the realm of basketball.

Yet, they will listen to their doctors when it comes to every other medical procedure….

I mean Jaylen is one of the more educated NBA players though tbh. He went to cal which is a very good school and was a media fellow to the NBA. Seems to be pretty well-educated on things like income and education inequality and has done lots of stuff to try and help that. He seemed like a genuinely smart dude, but given the whole anti-vax shit and this thing where he said he wouldn’t leave Donda sports prior to the backlash I am starting to renege on that belief lol

Going to school for 1 year where your life is dedicated to a basketball season before you enter the draft is not what I would really call going to Cal.

His major was even sports related

okay, but he is educated and went to college so what are you talking about? seems like an underlying feeling here you should express
