Doesn't excuse the behavior, but you think guys like Charles Barkely wouldn't have been excoriated if the same outlets were available back then? Different time, different criticisms.

Social media can be turned off or ignored. There are many worse things other pro

Which players have received more vitriol, abuse, and slander?

Enes Freedom, for one.

For a time, sure. Over the duration of their careers? Zero chance.

I’ll go with Jackie Robinson for one.

I’d put that under a different category, but I won’t disagree that he endured more abuse.

Social media isn’t his problem. His political divisiveness and love affair with the Chicoms are.

I’m not sure what that has to do with this discussion, but thanks for participating!

It means the “abuse” he takes is from his own stupid actions.

Samsonite

Okay. So it doesn’t count? I must’ve missed that qualifier in the actual podcast.

“Abuse” is a dramatic term for people disagreeing with his awful political takes.

Wrong. It's Westbrook, but not for the same reasons. He's just easy to laugh at.

Westbrook reaps what he sows with the media. He's always been salty and reporter
