We all on Kalshi now

comments that make me want to die

Why does it seem like Kalshi just came out of the blue?

I don’t know what a gross cereal has to do with this but I trust you.

Is this another ad??

Rather have Khlav Kalash

There isn’t implied consent for throwing punches in the NBA, so theoretically Miles probably could be charged for battery or whatever the charge is in North Carolina.

In practice, prosecutors almost always let the league & refs handle this sort of thing.

It doesn’t have to be a crime for it to be a violation of his probation conditions. From a practical standpoint, his po won’t violate him over this. But you can get violated for not complying with conditions without actually committing another crime

There is no legal standard for this to be the case. It’s just generally agreed that most sports altercations are mutual combat that would not fit the grounds for conviction. If a player walked up to another player who was not engaging with them and started beating them and caused harm, they could and likely would face charges. This really doesn’t happen and even this situation likely wouldn’t qualify as you could easily say that both sides instigated the fight.

That being said, the standard for a parole violation is much lower than a battery or assault conviction and depending on the terms of parole, mutual combat of any kind could qualify.

I don’t know the specifics and it’s likely nothing will happen, but it could.

it probably depends like if someone does smt like crazyyy like a chair slam or smt then it can

It absolutely could. We’ve seen it in hockey

But i don’t think this one would.

It can, but rarely does. Needs to be absolutely egregious.

A sucker punch resulting in serious injury would probably net a charge.

Does this apply for fights only? What about murder on the nba courts?

Probation and crimes are different.

On probation, you are not allowed to do plenty of things that are fully legal to do.

From a legal point of view (for better or worse) the standards for a probation violation aren’t the same as being convicted of a crime. He could be charged and acquitted and (maybe) still be guilty of a probation violation.

People cry in r/baseball that so and so pitcher should be charged with assault for hitting a batter intentionally….

Sometimes things are nuanced. But don’t tell reddit that.

I don’t know what the moral and ethical implications of this are, but if Kermit Washington could do what he did to Rudy T and still get away virtually scot-free from punishment, Bridges is probably good to go

What kind of person separates life from games when games have living people in it?

1 of the only professions in the world where you don’t get charged with a crime for that

Pretty sure his baby momma dropped some charges against him and they having or have had another kid together since then, I think both bridges and that girl are insane people

she denied that Miles beat her

Last month, Johnson tweeted in support of Miles, stating that “he’s not a woman beater” and that he should get another chance to play.

On Thursday, Mychelle made another post on Twitter, openly defending Miles’ character.

“I’m the one who spoke out almost a year ago & sometimes I wish I didn’t seeing the way people treat others & considering I’ll always have love for Miles & our kids love him, but it also hurts me to see the constant bashing & tearing down on him. He is a human being just like us all, I make mistakes. You do, we all do. He’s not a woman beater. If you asked me to describe him that word would never come to my mind & He’s never, never abused our children. We all have our flaws & he’s not perfect but overall he’s a good person. And no he didn’t ask me to say any of this, I chose to. I’m the reason for the bashing & hopefully I can be the reason for an open heart.”

Yeah that’s wild if he gets an exception considering they won’t even let you enter the country if you have a DUI

Stewart will get docked the hardest due to leaving the bench and his history.

But Bridges needs to get some heat as well. He absolute escalated when it was all but done. Which then gave us Stewart giving no fucks.

Yes a full blown “Malice in the Palace” situation would break the terms of probation. The most involved dudes got criminally prosecuted.

Theoretically Miles could get prosecuted for throwing a punch just the same, but it’s unlikely. Prosecutors almost always defer to the refs & NBA to dish out punishments. It would likely take another Malice in the Palace level incident to motivate a prosecutor enough to get involved. Especially for a home town player. Prosecutors play a popularity game to win elections.

Malice at the Palace had fan involvement. As far as I was able to tell, last night’s kerfuffle was an NBA only affair. Malice seems a bit gray, but as bad as yesterday was it would break quite a bit of precedent if anything other than a league punishment were to happen.

This (sort of, but technically not really) happened in the NHL. Dino Ciccarelli was already on probation for indecent exposure and then got a day in jail for slashing another player over the head.

Caveat being the indecent exposure charge was in Minnesota and the assault charge was in Ontario. So the MN courts didn’t go after him for violating his probation as much as another jurisdiction charged him. But I’m sure the ON courts weighed his criminal history into the decision.

Normal people get arrested or violate their probation contract all the time. Most of the time, it’s a warning or a sanction but that depends on the jurisdiction, the contract they signed, and how hard their PO wants to push things. If you see the shit normal people get into on probation, it’s really eye opening.

Normal people aren’t playing a competitive sport for a living. If this same thing happened at an insurance agency and the cops got called it would probably be a violation because fights don’t usually happen at insurance agencies. A fight happening in an NBA game isn’t that uncommon and rarely results in law enforcement being involved. It has more to do with what actually happened than the amount of money the people involved make.

It’s a subreddit about the NBA…

Listen bro, Miles Bridges is a wergwergqwerfmqpkenfpqweinfoqeinrvqoeifnvoqeirnvoqeirnbvpqeirnv (panting into neckbeard) erfqwoerunfqoweunfqoweunfq. I can’t believe you qwoeifbqiowebfqwoe cqoeurbvqoeirnvqqvee (nutted in sock) qeorfnqoeunfqoweinfoqweinfoqwien (wipes sweaty brow). MAAAAA THE MEATLOAF
