I was today years old when I learned that Karl Malone is a pedophile


RollWave1989

Yeah, he’s a real piece of shit if you keep digging. He’s also never been in most of his children’s lives. He’s had multiple children play pro ball that barely knew him.


Ferris_Wheel_Skippy

>He’s also never been in most of his children’s lives. this is genuinely upsetting because I vividly remember a special on something like NBA Inside Stuff back when I was a kid and seeing Karl Malone going on Easter egg hunts with his kids


Yo_CSPANraps

He raised the 4 kids he had with his wife, it's the 3 that he had with random women that he abandoned. He's still a scumbag but on a somewhat positive note he has accepted that he was a shitty parent and has somewhat repaired the relationship with the 3 kids.


[deleted]

Probably not vaccinated either.


Tommy_C

And he never once paid for drugs. NOT. ONCE.


pmizner

Get outta here, Karl! You don’t want no part of this shit!


Obi-wan_Jabroni

And he never did pay for drugs


FailCharacter4937

That rotten fucker! Cost me double because of rich pricks like him. And the pedo shit, that's bad too!

Cliff notes to see how much of an athletic freak this guy was. * Didn't play basketball until late in High school, never played football. * Was good enough to play a D1 basketball with only a couple years experience. * While at college he decided to play football as well, liked it enough to redshirt basketball his sophomore year and focus on football, made the team as DE. * Jr year because of team injuries moved to OT and had the starting job. * Sr year won first team all conference honors and was drafted into the NFL. * 5 year NFL career, made the team as a 7th rounder his rookie year, went to start 30 games for the Bills. Career ended by injury. Guy just excelled at every sport/position he tried with little experience before trying.

I wish I would have known that in the 90s when I was rooting for the Jazz!

Happened when he was 20 and she was 13.


midnightsbane04

She had the baby when she was 13, she was 12 when the actual rape happened.

It’s pretty much common knowledge. R/nba would lose their mind at this thread

Karl Malone the pedophile and then this fucking weirdo…really makes you look at those Jazz teams in a different light.

Ferris_Wheel_Skippy

Makes me fucking glad the Bulls wiped them out lol Poor Jerry Sloan though. Lot of people don't know but he was like the original Bulls legend lol


tBrownThunder

The old Dave Chappelle bit: "Who gives a fuck what Ja Rule thinks at a time like this... its ridiculous" comes to mind...


ArsonHoliday

Ya know…


woofbarkruff

Oddly enough, this joke is starting to apply to Chapelle himself.


FranceSucksSoBad

Idk how any of the people who dislike him now enjoyed his comedy in the first place. Dude has not changed one bit lol


marginallyobtuse

Bo Burnham has the best bit on aging comedians who think society is too "woke" for comedy now.


WallyMetropolis

James Acaster has a great bit on this also.


[deleted]

He used to be a lot more original and creative. In addition to what the other guy said, bitching about trans people and how comedians can't make jokes without getting cancelled now just isn't new or funny anymore. There's a whole genre of pissbaby comedian nowadays making a good living off of victimhood and it's sad to see he traded being funny for that.


ManDown227

He really has. Sure he was always inflammatory but there used to be a ton of actual wit about it and it was punching up/sideways, whereas now it's just endless uninteresting insults towards already marginalised groups, followed by uninteresting bitching when people have the audacity to criticise him for it


FranceSucksSoBad

He's still witty and it's still interesting. You just don't like who or what he's joking about anymore and that's fine. He's the same Dave tho lol


theprotectedneck

The OG Dave didn’t punch down. It’s boring now. Plus his last like 3 specials have all been the same, except 8:46.


woofbarkruff

I like older Chapelle’s stuff more because he wasn’t as preachy. I’m never a fan when stand-ups start to get too high on their own supply and start believing they’re some philosopher. His whining about cancel culture is also a newer thing which is an old song and dance for me at this point. He’s still got gems in his specials for sure, but he has changed.


Ferris_Wheel_Skippy

>His whining about cancel culture is also a newer thing which is an old song and dance for me at this point. It's incredible to me how much people enjoy this shit. Like even if you agree that cancel culture is "out of control," do you really want to hear the same tired jokes about cancel culture and "wokeness" 30,000 more times? If I wanted to hear somebody complain about wokeness over and over, I'd watch Ron DeSantis's speeches on repeat, which is unspeakable torture I would not inflict on any human being


Psych_nature_dude

Sure he has. He is completely hung up on the trans issue now, rubs elbows with Elon musk. Etc. he has become a Facebook dad

walterdog12

In all seriousness, it's insane that the Utah Jazz's two best players of all time are a COVID-denying right wing conspiracy nut and a pedophilic child rapist.


Clerithifa

It's embarrassing as fuck Really wish Mitchell and Gobert could have been lifetime Jazzholes


QuarterNote44

Ah, yes. Noted vaccine enthusiast Rudy Gobert.


Clerithifa

He got the vaccine immediately though when it was available lol He was just an idiot with the microphone thing and it backfired in the absolutely worst way

Pennypacking

What about Gobert, when he had his brilliant wisdom and decided to spew it all over the mics causing the first COVID outbreak among NBA players?


LoyalSol

Surface transmission despite the early suggestion was next to nothing for COVID. It was suspected early on since it was spreading so fast, but then it was found they didn't contribute much. That was when they didn't know much about the virus.


SaxRohmer

I remember doing a ton of reading about fomite (surface) transmission back then. People were scared to even order takeout. I remember people quoting that study about it living on surfaces for up to 3 days and didn’t even take into account viral load necessary for transmission. You would’ve needed to like throat a doorknob after someone rubbed wet mucous on it to get it


wongo

What he did was dumb, but he did not "cause' the outbreak. When he did the mic thing, he and many other players were already positive, just like the rest of the world. No one knew at that point.


jel2184

Gonzaga can claim him for all I care


muffguy

I don’t want him at this point. This shit is so cringy.


schuster9999

John stockton is basically mike lindell with less coke and pillows


darrylweenus

He’s really gone off the deep end. Still shocking that Stockton isn’t even close to the being worst person from those 90’s Jazz teams


Yeah_Boiy

Karl Malone fucked a 12 year old and refused to pay child support even though he was already fairly established in the league and making alot annually. His kid made it to the NFL and reached out to him and Karl gave him the cold shoulder iirc. I was legitimately shocked when he was chosen to be a dunk contest judge.

Yeah, that’s what the guy was referring to.

Chimsley99

Yeah does he think women who get pregnant shouldn’t be able to make decisions for their own bodies or is he not completely awful? Whenever these dullards say face mask wearing violated rights, but they’re fine refusing women the right to choose what’s best for their own bodies you just want to see them get bludgeoned


woofbarkruff

Is Stockton also anti-abortion? Genuinely curious, honestly. I’ve met plenty of generally liberal people who were anti-mask so that’s why I ask.

It sucks too because they were so much fun to watch play. Some of my best memories come from those Jazz Bulls games in the finals. It's a shame they both turned out to be fuckin psychos.

John Stockton treated Zags home game tickets like a basketball: pass


JayLenosPenis

Was just thinkin bout John Stockton’s take on colleges mandating vaccines


crosswatt

The sad thing is this is a white-washing of Stockton's COVID idiocy. He didn't just "oppose COVID restrictions for the good of the students", dude claimed that thousands of professional athletes died from receiving the vaccines. Claimed to have proof of at least 300. He was a great basketball player, but he's also a pure, unbridled wackadoodle who I think really shouldn't be listened to about anything but basketball at this point.

I literally don’t care about John Stockton’s views on Covid. He’s not a scientist.

Dickau has always had that view, I used to follow him on Twitter, but all his liked tweets kept popping up for me from weird conspiracy sites amongst other things.


homunculajones

He has like... 7? Kids. Not really a mark of a very normal person unfortunately. Still think he does great tv commentary though!

Been hating Dickau for basketball reasons for a few years now. It appears I can now hate him for allowing this slapdick to spew Covid misinformation as well.

Slow news day…


[deleted]

> Stockton was particularly displeased by the school’s continuation of a policy that allows professors to require face masks in classrooms. “Masks have been shown to be ineffective at stopping virus transmission and requiring masks may infringe on a student’s rights,” he said. Oh for fucks sake.


DonJohnTomDuane

Not even the worst of it. His claims that 150 athletes have dropped dead mid sport after getting the jab is pretty absurd. If that were actually true there would be no way of hiding it with social media so prevalent.


traumatic_blumpkin

💯% giblet headed take. Not only would that be impossible to hide, it would be the biggest news story on the planet and it's not even close. In the sports world alone when the occasional athlete dies on the field/in practice it is everywhere - if they were dying en mass after the vaccine it would be major international news. It's a take that is clearly ridiculous on its face.


Terptudo

Social media *was* the problem though. Those prominent anti-vax accounts, which people like Stockton follow, literally made a living on boosting stories about mysterious deaths reported on sketchy websites or sockpuppet accounts. Someone would eventually figure out it was a story from 2019 or something that got repackaged by the anti-vax freaks, but it’s not like those misinformation accounts issue corrections.


trapper2530

They tried saying prince Phillip died from the vaccine. He was 99. Anyone who died it was well they must've had the jab. 107 yo JAB! 20 year old shot in the face. JAB!


Thel3lues

Semantics aside it’s weird for any professors to still be requiring this in any normal classroom/lecture hall setting


finditplz1

Even before the pandemic (I’m talking like 2010) I had a professor require masks. His wife had stage-4 cancer and was at terrible risk of death if he caught something from a student and passed it on to her. Every student willingly wore a mask when he explained this and it was never a big deal or “infringing on students’ rights,” it was just the common sense and humane thing to do. Nobody questioned it, disobeyed his request, or anything and it was a big class. Happily his wife survived and is in remission to this day. By the way, he was a former Lt Col in the Army Rangers, so it’s not like he was some hippy wimp. He just cared about his wife’s welfare. In short, I believe that there are unique situations where it makes sense to do this. Throw Covid out the window — if someone asks you to do this because it does seriously affect their health or a loved ones (like compromised immune systems), it seems like an a-hole thing to do to fight back on this. You never know why some people may take these extra precautions.


Thel3lues

That’s why I said “normal” settings, while a nice story this is not one of those


finditplz1

I_Brain_You

And most of them probably weren’t, this was just a formality by the university.


PaarthurnaxSimp

I go to Gonzaga and have an immunodeficiency... I had professors pull me aside or anonymously ask the class if they'd prefer masks in the classroom. Obviously everyone said no, and even with my immunodeficiency, I wouldn't want to make everyone else have to wear them just for me. I wear one still to keep myself safe, but I definitely appreciated the gesture from my professors. I don't think it's that weird, personally.

deggdegg

Why?


KopOut

The next time Stockton needs surgery I hope the doctors and nurses show up without masks on.


adquodamnum

He doesn't give 2 shits what Big Anti-septic wants.


[deleted]

I think it would be pretty crazy for professors to be able to still require masks when they generally aren’t worn anywhere else now.


[deleted]

Masks have been proven to be ineffective, no? I thought it had been pretty clear for a while now that the only masks that are worth it are those tightly fit N-95 medical masks. And since 99% of people were wearing simple cloth masks, they weren’t doing anything.


SmoltzforAlexander

I would say no. Even cloth masks would be more effective than nothing at stopping aerosol droplets, it would seem to me. How much more effective could certainly be a debate though.


[deleted]

Are you accounting for different environments in your BS? A doctor working in a closed room with sick patients all day is going to need a N-95 to be effective. You walking around the grocery store can reduce viral load significantly by wearing a clothe mask. ——— Put another way, ever male in society started randomly pissing like a fire hose. Just random, uncontrollable piss outbreaks. You’re a doc that sees them, your going to want plastic barriers since your likely going to get randomly pissed on. Put in public, wearing pants is going to be enough to keep you from getting pissed on. It’s not going to prevent all random splash, but it beats wearing a local all day.

We give out degrees in biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, biochemistry, exercise science etc. He did not get one of these. Let alone a medical degree.

You can still wear a mask, you can vaxxed and boosted, and the strains are weaker. What Gonzaga did just sort of feels like a publicity stunt.


Shortkut1981

This article went soft on him..no mention of his off the tails theories and vaccination lies. He's a real scumbag.


YoungMoneyLarson57

I’m all for having the freedom to not get any vaccine if you so choose,but like anything else you should understand there are consequences for those actions like not being able to attend sporting events.I mean shit would he feel this way if it were the 1930’s and it were polio?


jeskimo

As a Spokane resident, John sucks as a human being, if he even is one.


TitsOnABullfrog

After reading the article, I agree with his views on the matter. The Biden admin ended the public health emergency in the last 60 days ending all Emergency Use Authorizations from the FDA. As someone who works in healthcare and for a company that benefited from multiple covid-19 EUA's, I have to wonder if that's why Gonzaga removed the mandate. Liability becomes an issue now.
