"But I think it is hypocritical to become outraged over language that many would acknowledge happens behind closed doors, with friends, in comedy, in music, all the time."

Why is hypocritical?

Just read what Durant sent to Rapaport

TNT is fascinated how KD has gone from pretty likable to unlikable over his career

TNT

4/2/21 12:11pm

And his apology was "I'm sorry that people have seen the language I used"

machete

4/2/21 12:12pm

Why should he even have to apologize for swearing at some dude online

Deleted

4/2/21 12:18pm

I agree. Who cares.

OmahaThunderCoug

4/2/21 12:24pm

Don’t care about swearing. He’s just childish and if Leonard gets suspended

Gibbcoug

4/2/21 12:39pm

I just guess I don’t worry as much about others. We find so many reasons to

OmahaThunderCoug

4/2/21 12:41pm

Because it was also homophobic

Unibro

4/2/21 12:28pm

Nobody cares about the swears. its the homophobic and racist language

machete

4/2/21 12:28pm

What was the racist and homophobic language?

OmahaThunderCoug

4/2/21 12:32pm

Use the google

machete

4/2/21 12:37pm

I did.

OmahaThunderCoug

4/2/21 12:39pm

Maybe I didn’t read all the texts and missed it, I guess.

OmahaThunderCoug

4/2/21 12:39pm

It's obvious if you read it.

ochobeeguy

4/2/21 3:02pm

Yup. If you read all of it, it’s very very racist and homophobic.

Powerbait DPM

4/2/21 6:04pm

What people use bad language when not in public? Crazy. Never thought Durant

Baron

4/2/21 12:13pm

Did you read what he said? It’s not like the guy dropped a few f bombs.

fredetteaboutit13

4/2/21 12:15pm

Yep more mild than I expected.

Baron

4/2/21 12:17pm

What?! Maybe you didn't read the whole exchange; it was BAD. Link here:

BlooCoog

4/2/21 12:43pm

the guzzling bit was sort of funny though

Belboz

4/2/21 12:44pm

Yea. I am not outraged by it. Go ahead. I know being

Baron

4/2/21 1:02pm

You don’t have to be offended or outraged. But calling it mild and saying others

rivercitycoug

4/2/21 1:11pm

You talk like that?

bulletproof

4/2/21 12:16pm

No. But I know how people talk when in private.

Baron

4/2/21 12:20pm

Homophobic language like that is common place for you?

Ozymandias

4/2/21 12:48pm

Did you not see? He is very well read.

Grit for Brains

4/2/21 12:52pm

Not for me personally . But I don't live in a delusional world

Baron

4/2/21 12:56pm

Not if they are promoting that type of language, nope. I am no prude, when it

Ozymandias

4/2/21 1:04pm

And do you think people when they are mad online, inperson or over DMs

Baron

4/2/21 1:07pm

I am not sure what you are implying. It seems to me that you are saying that

Ozymandias

4/2/21 1:14pm

No. that is a false assumption people make about many things.

Baron

4/2/21 1:17pm

Why in world is that hypocritical? It would only be hypocritical if I knew such

Ozymandias

Yep, that is exactly how I feel.

Ozymandias

4/2/21 1:32pm

Those DMs were not mild no matter how woke you think you are. You talk like no

rivercitycoug

4/2/21 12:49pm

I think I am being the opposite of woke. The woke

Baron

4/2/21 12:57pm

Yeah, that language isn't allowed on Twitter or Reddit. You'd get reported and

CougarTailDevourer

4/2/21 2:12pm

So most people are racists and homophobes in private?

Iman23

4/2/21 12:23pm

I think most people say offensive things in private that include

Baron

4/2/21 12:31pm

If we’re being honest....he is definitely not an outlier.

OmahaThunderCoug

What if this were a white NBA player who said super racist things like this

Ozymandias

Baron

4/2/21 1:00pm

Didn't answer my question.

Ozymandias

4/2/21 1:05pm

I did.

Baron

4/2/21 1:08pm

I dont see it.

Ozymandias

4/2/21 1:15pm

So many NBA stars are so incredibly unlikeable.

Kavorka

4/2/21 12:16pm

And KD kept using “pale” as an insult to him

LifelongAP

4/2/21 12:16pm

Have you seen Rapaport? He is pasty.

DescendentCoug

4/2/21 3:07pm

How does the homophobic language not get him in trouble?

CoogsCoogs85

4/2/21 12:29pm

Double standards

LifelongAP

4/2/21 12:34pm

Because he's black.

byubyu

This is exhibit A that racism is alive and well in America. Different races are

Loafer

4/2/21 1:15pm

I don't know man....I talked a lot of crap with my friends back in the day and

Thrill

4/2/21 12:34pm

I thought it was pretty weak that rappaport published DMs

SpecialT

4/2/21 12:35pm

Me too. Not like his language is/was a whole lot better.

OmahaThunderCoug

4/2/21 12:38pm

Rappaport is a vile and disgusting human. Not a fan of Durant either.

Cnation

4/2/21 12:40pm

He seems pretty despicable

TNT

4/2/21 12:46pm

loser move

Belboz

4/2/21 12:44pm

Idk, he seemed to say they are friends and the stuff was a joke.

JuicyJam

4/2/21 12:37pm

Meyers Leonard got canceled right out of the nba for what he said. Since the NBA

ImRonBurgundy?

4/2/21 12:37pm

sharing private messages to the public is a loser move.

Belboz

4/2/21 12:41pm

Yep. Desperate move to get back at Durrant by taking it public.

OmahaThunderCoug

4/2/21 12:45pm

In my mind, that's the worse crime of the two.

Belboz

4/2/21 12:46pm

KD’s language is a total nonissue. Do people really care about the bad words

hansel

4/2/21 1:11pm

That’s my feeling in it. I have many, many other more important

OmahaThunderCoug

4/2/21 1:13pm

Only that it gives us a glimpse into how he really talks to people.

ochobeeguy

4/2/21 3:08pm

Yeah, her skirt was a little short. She deserved it.

Iman23

4/2/21 1:12pm

Rappaport isn’t a victim. Stupid comparison.

SpecialT

4/2/21 1:28pm

Sharing private messages to the world to shame someone is a low move.

Belboz

4/2/21 1:32pm

Rapaport also said he deleted his own messages from this conversation.
