Tobey Parker

I hear Houston likes to hire cheaters, get to stay in Texas.

With photographic evidence. Kissing the side chick in a photo booth. Not even leaving a chance to wiggle out of it.

Welcome to sports dog

Also, his (ex) girlfriend is a baddie.

He fumbled on so many levels.

Who is the player?

It was just the SPUR of the moment…./s

Caring who an adult human spends their free time with is crazy, expecting them put aside their desires and feelings because they work with a family member of their interest is also crazy to me

To paraphrase Rasheed Wallace….“Ball don’t lie” lol /s

Lindy Waters III is a free agent.

Well yeah, he’s not out because he cheated. He’s out because he embarrassed the org and he’s not important enough like Tony Parker to let it slide.

Lindy Waters being a free agent and not currently on the team couldve played a role

to your point, there could’ve been assumptions about whether this plays a role in Waters being re-signed or not (had they retained the announcer). this way they clear themselves from that speculation

honestly even if it was with a former player’s sister i didn’t think that he’d get removed from his position. i’m kinda surprised tbh

I don’t think the person he cheated with matters I think how it got out is what killed him. He made himself look bad but he also made the spurs look bad and unfortunately he’s replaceable

It’s a lot easier to find his replacement than it is for Hayes or Bridges

You must be able to recognize how an organization would value players and announcers differently.

He made the “Ime Udoka” mistake of pooping where he ate (banging a Spurs player’s sister).

Front office people will say, “you can’t teach 7’0” with limited tangible basketball skills” to justify this

spurs instantly released that first round pick offender they had. they don’t play around. he’d have been employed with hornets and whomever

One of these groups has a union with very well-payed lawyers.

Didn’t do it at work. We might not like it but that’s the reality.

What did they do?

“If Hannibal Lecter ran a 4.4 we’d say he has an eating disorder”

Crazy how the bar for Spurs announcer is higher than the President of the United States.

And that too in a red state like Texas.

But sometimes it is

Unless you’re the clippers and it’s for kawhi

Cheating is perfectly acceptable by companies unless you get caught and embarrass them, in which case, it is the most egregious crime known to man.

What a limb to go out on! Are you opposed to murder too?

/s

Unless you coached Boston and Houston wants you

Cheating is absolutely okay from a companies perspective. Ending up on news media is not okay.

I feel like the fact that the person he was cheating with is a Spurs’ player sister makes it relevant for the organization

When you go viral because you had an affair with one of the players’ sisters it seems pretty detrimental to the team

with the sister of a player on the team

with a sister of a player, that could definitely get sticky

Personal misconduct that became a professional distraction. Different but slightly similar to the Mark Sanchez situation.

He’s an announcer, not an accountant. His personal misconduct, and it’s public fallout, impacts the brand

He’s dating a players sister and slept with another players sister.

Im guessing its the sister thing.

He slept with the sister of a player

But even otherwise there would be personal conduct clauses in his spurs contract that would be terms for termination as soon as the story broke as “Jacob Tobey, SPURS announcer,”

Messed with a player’s sister, bad optics all around.

Considering the setting and who he did it with. Yeah he had to go. Can’t bring a situation to your job and not expect to be fired.

Dude, it absolutely involves his job. Are you crazy? Haha.

He wouldn’t be replacing Ryan though

Lindy Waters

It was Lindy Waters III sister, Loren Waters

Wemby

Wemby

They wouldn’t have cared one bit if it wasn’t work related.

Can a man not kiss his homies on the lips anymore?

Just looked this up and what the fuck 😭

If everyone who cheated lost their job because of it there’d be an economic crisis

of course not, but Tobey is not worth whatever headache this would cause the org. Wemby would be.

It might be controversial if he slept with the sister of a teammate yeah

Check the union bylaws

Half? Please. No bigger groupie scene in the world than the NBA these days.

i have heard of executives losing jobs for similar scandals. when you are the face of a company, generating bad PR is bad business.

Ime Udoka would like a word.
