NBA Should Penalize Tristan Thompson For Kissing Sideline Reporter (Video)
http://dimemag.com/2014/10/nba-penalize-tristan-thompson-kissing-sideline-reporter/
"It’s the year 2014, and this type of behavior is inexcusable. When Tristan Thompson kissed Cavaliers sideline reporter Allie Clifton on Friday night, it marked a huge lapse in judgement and a dunderheaded ignorance of women’s rights in this country.
Thompson had a good game on Friday night with 17 points (6-of-8 shooting) and 11 rebounds in under 30 minutes of action when the Cavs lost to the Mavs 107-102. Allie Clifton didn’t have as much fun as Thompson because she had to interview him for her job. After calling her “Tina,” with a wink, Thompson leaned in to kiss Clifton on the side of head when the interview had finished. Clifton, ever the pro, barely missed a beat, but that’s still no excuse for the sexist display from Thompson. "
They will soon castrate men, and have them walk on their own pavements eyes to the floor. A cheeky harmless joke and people want to lynch the guy and stick him on sex offenders register.

Women ::)
-
"the sexist display..."
What kind of homosexual is that Spencer Lund? ::)
-
I guess if the player was homosexual and he kissed a male reporter you would all feel the same :-*
-
If anything it was very sweet. Young ball player excited about a good game, gives a friendly kiss to the side of the head.
Not sure what he meant by Tina ???
Where are the people crying racism for people getting butt hurt over black man kissing white woman. Racism!!
-
I mean I guess it's OK if she is into it otherwise I don't know how anyone else can say that it is OK.

It's just a very short kiss on the side of her head ::)

Saboteurs of society - making anything illegal and questioning everything.

Its like the bitch at a club i was on when i was younger and in good shape. She grabbed my pecs and said they ehere huge so i grabbed her tits and said the same thing. The bitch got mad
-
It's comsummerism not womans fault.
These poor feeble minded creatures can't help do what television has programmed them to be.
Producers want duel income households, they want the two genders to be competing for resources, just so they can please the other sex by looking more attractive.
Woman don't wanna compete with men, but the powers at be want that shit, it creates higher consumer spending.

It was sweet. This is what's wrong with the world lately. Too much paranoia and not enough innocent sweet acts of affection.

If a strange man grabbed me and kissed me, I'd probably be bothered by it.
Actually, unless it was someone to whom I was explicitly signaling interest, I'd be like, "WTF"
Switch the people around to a man to a man or a woman to a man, and see if you feel differently about it

Boobs are more sexual than pecs, so obviously that's why she got upset...but I don't really think that's fair of her to get upset when she touched you
-

He didn't grab her and kiss her
He pecked the side of her hair as he ran away in a cheeky playful manner.

For the record, I don't think the player in question should have kissed her for obvious reasons.

sounds like you didn't watch the clip. watch the clip. its seriously harmless. the author is fucking stupid.

it was obviously not a "strange man" to her. you can tell they have worked together before. they are on a first name basis. he was kidding around. and kissed her on the side of the head like I would kiss my son before he goes to school.
this is simply a case of an author trying to make a name for himself as a defender of women's rights. and he chose to fight the wrong battle because he was so eager for a battle.

Hard to say, maybe there's already something going on between those two..
On the other hand, I can't stand all those mudsharks >:(

After watching it, it was playful silliness, no fine necessary. If I were to hazard a guess, he won't be doing that anymore.
-
Feminists become feminists because they are rejected by most men.
They didn't get the peck on the face from the basketball star so they get jealous and pretend to hate it.

And if your assumptions are not true, she has right to press charges.
It's the risk you take when you do something.
Although femimist have nothing to do with this.
If anything men are the ones that should be pissed.
Were the ones that get fucked by the law.

This is why the autistic mind is superior on a moral level.
If you change the people around this is so obviously a sexual assault charge.
You have no protection if you touch another person, you can get charged with anything if you initiate contact.
This is why woman get a free ride, they can fuck you over if you touch em, yet they ignore you if you don't.
They wanna put you in that situation it gives them power over you.
-
There's the law and then there's context. Sadly, society seems to be losing its collective ability to note the difference. To watch this is to plainly see the context. He was being nothing in the way of inappropriate. Heck, he was giddy, smiling and amiable, and then playfully pecks a kiss on the side of the woman's head. Sure, the law allows for any physical contact to be identified as assault, but again, CONTEXT.
The world is quickly losing its marbles in so, so many ways, it's depressing.

Close. Producers, Banks and Tax collectors want duel incomes to mask inflation and the loss of the purchasing power of the dollar.
-
:D
-
It seems to me women are rejecting feminism, en masse.
I remember, not long ago, when it was all the rage for women not wanting to be "objectified," and seen as sex objects.
Fast forward to 2014, and I can't remember a time when women dressed in a more sexually provocative manner. It's as though there is no such thing as loose fitting clothes.

Question for getbiggers:
What if your wife or girlfriend or boyfriend came home and said to you, "My boss is so playful. As we were talking and joking around, he playfully kissed me on the cheek."
How would you react? I highly doubt anyone here would be okay with it. What makes you think the sport reporter was okay with it? :-\ :-\

Can you fathom what this means in a general sense?

Problem is no one knows the context. The only person that can claim to understand the context is the woman.
The initiator is completely at the will of the other person.
-
I'm not a feminist nor do I approve the real intend of feminism which is not equality but the acquisition of power. The woman did not initiate the kiss and if she has a problem with it, its her right to say so. It's not the right of some random woman to interpret the incident for her. We don't know how well these two are acquainted They may be great friends and know each other very well and the intimacy displaced by the male quite appropriate or at least understandable.
-
Again, CONTEXT.
Can you fathom what this means in a general sense?
First, no, I cannot, because context is based on individual perception. The fact that we are all having DIFFERENT reactions to this news article just shows that context is based on an individuals unique experience. I do not know how the news reporter thought of it. Maybe she thought the context was wrong since she was on the job.
Second, even in the right context, I have a sneaking suspicion most guys would get mad.
-
I don`t see how anyone supports what the fecal critter did in my opinion. It is sexual assault if she did not ask for it.

Exactly. Hilarious that these people here look the other way because they worship men who play sports. I would not tolerate this at all if that was my wife or girlfriend.

Time to get rid of the token female sideline reporters.
Then Pam Oliver can give Dana Linn Bailey her wig back.

Me either.
And if we want to talk about context, it would be more appropriate to give someone a kiss, say, at a christmas party, birthday party, or if maybe if youre meeting the person for dinner, etc. But who wants to get kissed while they're at their job?
People's obsession with sport players is baffling. If this was at a regular office job, that guy would be canned. But hes a sport player, and thinks he can get away with anything.

What's sexual about a peck on the side of somebody's head?
I'd wager you were kissed like that as a child..

Many times I have given female co-workers hugs and cheek kisses and never have these ever been met with anything but returned affection and smiles. And without saying what I do, let's just say my career is DEFINITELY one NOT to push with anything that could be considered sexual harassment or otherwise. It's the manner with which you do it, folks. Most intelligent people can determine what's something to accept as act of friendship and/or affection and what is an expression of harassment or assault.
You people are loony.

That not the point, this is where cultural relativistism is absurd.
In any country kissing a man on the cheek is borderline gay, the point in those cultures is that in doing borderline gay shit, your proving your willingness to be a descent chap.
At no point is it meant to be impersonal but exactly the opposite.

Lol any girl lays a hand on my autistic body and I will freak the fuck out, I don't like being touched, bitchest gotta fuck right off.

Keep up TA, I said kissed like that. Not kissed by someone like that.
But good to know, congrats.

Depending on the adult, yes. It's irrelevant though.
Unless you're interested?
-
How was this case an act of friendship. Did you not see the creepiness of the whole thing?
No, I did not. Without knowing the history (if any) between the two, it looks like a jovial athlete in an after-game interview who plants a spirited little peck onto the side of a female reporter's head, in fun.
Put it this way. If that reporter was my girl, seeing this as a stand-alone event, presented as is, it wouldn't have me remotely angered or jealous.
FUCK, HE GAVE HER A PECK ON THE SIDE OF THE HEAD.
-
And by the way, I give my best friends (male) hugs all the time. And occasionally, if I haven't seen them for a while, a quick peck on the cheek while I am hugging them.
Yeah, I know ... Outed! ::)
Perhaps I'm just one who recognizes the importance of those who I deem important, to me, and I have little hesitation to show it. This isn't a gay/straight thing, either. I'm as straight as they come.

And youre taking a gamble each time you do that. All it takes is for one of those women to go to human resources and report you. There is a good chance your ass would be fired. I would never think about kissing a female co-worker. I mean, as stated, at a christmas party, bday party, etc. But to give them random kisses at the office is, well, pretty damn strange.

We all know they knew eachother, bitch was wet as october after that kiss, if I can tell that(empathically impaired) that means it's fucking obvious.

See, YOU thought of this. Not me. Such a thing wouldn't cross my mind.
However, your (obviously) uncomfortable impulse to respond, and with such an immature and homophobic jab, says a whole lot about YOU, my friend.

You aren't wrong. In fact, judging by the overblown and paranoid responses in this thread, I do think I'll be more careful when interacting with women, anywhere.
With each passing year I become more saddened with how unkind, unpleasant, paranoid, menacing, and basically crappy this human species is. And gets.

Nothing wrong with affection towards friends, female friends that might even be appropriate, though I only had a couple I did that with, and frankly, I wanted to get with hone of them. Now, no.. way too autistic, and i'm married an my wife might not apprecaite it.
But with strangers, or casual co workers, no. The current trends in social thought, though I believe are misguided, do not condone this at all. Treatr women like you would men, and legally you are gold.
-
Ok i just watched the video. After reading others responses about how they could be good friends, how it was just a peck on the cheek, etc., I thought that maybe my concept of what happened could have been overblown.
But my god. I just watched the video. I felt uncomfortable the entire time.
Here he is, telling her that he wants to kiss her, and NOT ONCE did she give him any verbal or physical cue that she would like the same. She just said, "okay joe" as a way to move the conversation along.
-
I had a look at it - it's not a big deal. Still shouldn't be doing that sort of thing.

I think that you would take a more 'hands off' approach if their husbands were present.

Perhaps I'm just one who recognizes the importance of those who I deem important, to me, and I have little hesitation to show it.
Perhaps you're just a fucking creep who should keep his hands and mouth to himself, like a big boy, and stop making the people around you uncomfortable.

Boobs are more sexual than pecs, so obviously that's why she got upset...but I don't really think that's fair of her to get upset when she touched you
boobs are not more sexual than pecs, a well developed muscled striated chest ( omg no homo ;D ) is way way way more sexual than a pair of mammary glands... all this in a heterosexual cocoon.
next its going to be a womans leg is more sexual than a mans leg.... jus sayin
