[Highlight] Charles Barkley asks Adam Silver about the domestic violence issues within the NBA
Get em Chuck. Adam Silver clearly wasn't expecting that question but his answer was pretty good (after some initial stumbling from being caught off guard).
his answer was pretty good
I want to be fair, but as a lawyer and head of a popular, beyond-wealthy sports org, Silver looked an awful lot like an unprepared deer mouse trapped in the headlights.
China, domestic abuse, general league issues, superstars having outsize influence over franchises, franchises holding cities hostages (i.e. vacating threats), etc... I feel like these are some of the easy issues and easy answers someone like Silver should be able to smooth-tongue his way through, yet we had the above.
I'm sorry, but his response was pretty weak, and kinda fucked up IMO.
Good on him for asking a real question
Barkley is a gem
