Josh primo is so cooked
I got depressed in college as a D1 athlete as well my GPA nosedived.
I can see why Primo did it💀
This is so depressing to re-watch after learning about the abuse the Spurs organization ignored and allowed Courtney to endure as a member.

This is why women are not meant to lead. They can't overcome their emotion and don't understand the masculine/stoic nature of men
Who’s here because of the Josh Primo incident?
I'm struggling with the concept that an NBA player, a job that gives young men access to the hottest women out there, decided to drop his drawers for this woman….
Who’s here from the NBA reddit 👀
She's so worried about the mental health of athletes, she got one fired and is suing him.

Don't look at the edit. That was a terrible comment, but she explains why buddy exposed himself. He had a mental illness.
She looks good
Thank You for caring.
This probably doesn’t apply to sports itself, but recently my school’s varsity softball team lost state because the one of the girls was distracted for a split second and failed to tag the batter. She’s been getting bullied for it and the video of the whole thing made it’s way to Tik Tok, now she’s being told to harm herself by adults online.
Like I said it may not have much to do with sports itself but the mentality over a softball game is a complete joke to me.
Great athletes find their zen on the battlefield. They become the flow state, beyond processing worthless thoughts. They react at least 0.20sec faster than others. They harmonize mundane and divine, muscle and mind. They, in the moment, simply are.
Thoughts are too slow, emotions are even slower. It's always social minds who are the first to get puffed out and down. It's always the social minds who require constant reaffirmation. Great athletes like Kobe, Jordan require a mountain to move, a challenge.
This woman's ideas are kinda worthless.
Excellent.
Sports needs sportsmanship. I probably would have liked sports if my family hadn't been sports jerks.
