Almost immediately when the news broke of Boston Celtics Head Coach Ime Udoka facing a one-year suspension over at least one extra-marital affair with a team staff member, the question became, "why such a harsh punishment." The NBA recently banned Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver for the same amount of time over repeated racist and sexist behavior.
Cue Stephen A.
Smith.
The ESPN blowhard immediately decided racism was the motivation behind the lengthy banishment.
Jason is here to put Smith back in his place and examine the damage done when everything is filtered through the lens of race.
"Fearless" soldier Steve Kim joins the discussion and adds his thoughts on the race-baiting aspects of the story.
Then, Shemeka Michelle, Jill Savage, and Tiffany Odom enter the discussion of Udoka and the rumors surrounding rock star Adam Levine.
Jason asks the questions: Is it wise to date a celebrity, and is it unrealistic to expect men to engage in monogamy?
Finally, Delano Squires adds a biblical perspective to the story and explores whether Boston needs credit for taking a moral stand against Udoka’s behavior.
