I'n still in disbelief. This is basketball, and simply Joel's job.
You don't talk about his dead brother and son because you're mad that he's not playing.
Just foul and he's lucky he didn't get his ass beat.

He didn't learn huh
He's going to fuck around and get stomped out. Only a matter of time
Agreed
Hayes was dead wrong for mentioning that man's dead brother and son. Dead fuckin wrong.
I agree with embiid defending himself and his family.
Marcus Hayes was out of line mentioning his family.
This shit has reached a boiling point with embiid.
It would be best for embiid to get a change of scenery by getting traded, so the team can focus on winning minus the distractions.

I 100% agree
actually it's the editorial staff that needs to be fired.
They cleared that copy.
And the player's association BETTER defend him.
That was HORRIBLE writing that was not journalism. It was unnecessary and an embarrassing reach to make a bullsh*t obvious point.
I am very curious to see who in the media actually tries to defend Hayes.
All that being said?
Joel was absolutely wrong to put hands on him. No Matter how much I understand why he did it

Joel Embiid: 'I’ve done way too much for this f*cking city to be treated like this'

If the players on that team are REAL?
They need to unite and NEVER talk to that reporter again.
Maybe boycott the whole paper.
@jawnswoop
is the current team built like that?

I hope the reporter gets fired, but I doubt he will, I hope I'm wrong though.
I don't care how mad I get, I'm not gonna disrespect that man's family that has nothing to do with it.
He could've gotten his point across about embiid in that article without mentioning his family.
So, I'm wondering if embiid will be suspended or both getting fined as well.
Yeah, its pathetic and my city got the worst reporters out there even though we aren't the only team who has them.
I haven't brought a paper for years since the price went up, also the the newspapers has gone digital.
I do think they should fire that reporter but he can always get a job in another city.

It was bad writing plain and simple
The writer AND the editor should be reprimanded.
But Joel HAS to get suspended you can't do that especially to a reporter or a fan or an employee
But the writer was out if line.
The TEAM can address this
Boycott.
Get the league and the PA Involved
Do NOT let them flip this into Joel being soft or modern players are too sensitive
This is unacceptable
Barkley threw dudes out windows threatened chased and spit on folks
So I swear on everything if he doesn't defend Joel and uses that bullsh*t Philly is just a tough place to play to excuse messing with a black MAN dead brother publicly?
Well... let not say nothing and watch Philly fans reaction first.
Oh I agree, I never agreed with his writing at all, that's why I don't even read sports in the local newspaper.
I believe we as fans will rally behind embiid on this, because while we are frustrated with him as a player, we don't tolerate personal attacks when it comes to a person's family.
I do believe in boycott but I don't think that would be enough, but the message has to be loud and clear that it won't be tolerated attack a player's family.
Embiid could've done much worst and seriously hurt that reporter because of his strength being 7ft
The media should be on embiid side, I want to see how his plays out because no player deserves to be talked like that about their family.
I'm definitely looking forward to what shaq, chuck, and stepen A. smith say about this.
No one, AND I MEAN NO ONE cares for Marcus Hayes. He's consistently writing a bunch of nonsense. That article made no fuckin sense at all. He could have made his point without mentioning his late brother or his son. But again, for all this shit that's going on I ultimately blame Morey and Harris. Morey is in the background not answering questions about what's really going on with Embiid, leaving Nurse on an island to be grilled about it. That's fucked up.
I agree.
You guys created this atmosphere with your constant online trolling and nigga jokes bullshit. Now people feel like they can say whatever and not get slapped. Same shit with Jason Kelce's incident.
Embiid's lucky he's foreign so people are sympathizing with him, but if he was Black American they'd see them selves thru the reporter and say he overreacted.
I can't rock with Shannon on this one...
Shannon likes to say shit for views, if you asked him privately what he really think, I bet it wouldn't be the same thoughts off air.
DUDE IS A FUCKIN DUMBASS. THIS IS GOING TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. ESPECIALLY WHEN SOMEONE IS TRYING TO GET HIM TO STOP AND SHES BEGGING TO BE LEFT ALONE. NIGGA IN THERE ACTING LIKE JACK NICHOLSON FROM THE SHINNING.
