Chapter 389: The President's Sacrifice to the Sky (1st Update)
Donathy's autobiography was actually published more than a year ago.
He originally used the title of the book "Whistle: The Culture of Fraud in the NBA."
But the title is too aggressive, and much of the content could be involved in legal disputes.
After receiving a warning from the NBA, the publisher had to cancel the publication of the book.
In order to pay off the 200,000 gambling debts he owed, Donassee changed the title of the book to "Personalfoul" and cut some of the content.
After changing publishers, I was successfully published, I got paid, and the book sold out quickly after it was put on the shelves.
However, due to legal problems, the book was quickly removed from the US market and can only be seen in electronic versions on the Internet.
Although Donashe's autobiography talks a lot about the "shady" of the NBA, a closer look will show that it is no different from some so-called industry insiders.
To put it bluntly, there are some unknown unspoken rules in the industry, and the referees and players are not as glamorous as they seem on the surface.
These things are tacitly tacitly watched by adults, and there is no evidence of substantive crimes and violations.
If you want to say that the person who really committed the crime, it is the author Donasi himself, which greatly reduces the credibility of the book.
The NBA-related media also seized on this to attack Donathy, arguing that what he was doing was nothing more than the act of a destitute man who sold his soul for money and life.
"I never trusted a person with a problem with his character, because the seeds of lying were planted in his heart... Donathee's purpose is to drag the NBA into the water. Therefore, those who choose to believe the words that come out of his mouth should check if there is something wrong with their thinking......"
An ESPN expert commented on the contents of Donahi's autobiography, which is undoubtedly a heart-wrenching argument.
Because these experts are all pointing to the NBA for dinner, if they agree with Donathy's statement, or confirm it, then there is a problem with the thinking and the braincase is broken.
Therefore, the NBA black whistle incident did not cause much repercussions in American society.
The credibility of the NBA has not collapsed because of this, and fans and media have just used it as an after-dinner conversation.
And what if the NBA had a balance whistle and rigged the game?
Everyone tacitly agreed, so it was better to go and see it as WWE.
The players are playing happily, the fans are happy to watch, and the media is full of information.
Entertainment, if you take it too seriously, you will lose, so you will watch it as a reality show.
However, there are some things that are as light as a feather if they are not weighed, and they can't be beaten by a thousand catties.
Min Congda's NBA-Batman account has been in operation for more than a season.
It can be said that it is a mudslide in the NBA media.
The message is fast and accurate, and unbiased
There is no position, it is not a commercial account, it does not cooperate with any organization, and no one even knows who is behind the account.
This kind of lone ranger-style personal self-media has gradually won the attention and popularity of a large number of fans in the American society that has been infiltrated by capital everywhere.
NBA-Batman also broadcast the entire labor negotiation live, and immediately released the news on Twitter as soon as the results were available.
One step ahead of the media, making many people suspect that the person behind this account is likely to be an NBA executive.
And just when the labor negotiations gradually eased from the deadlock, the players' will began to loosen and want peace talks, gradually moving to the next stage.
NBA-Batman's accusations of Stern's game rigging suddenly complicated the situation.
On Nov. 18, NBA-Batman followed suit with a second tweet.
The content is a truncated section of Donathy's autobiography that explicitly mentions that David Stern is in fact a supporter of sports betting.
His so-called crackdown on referee gambling is just to maintain the image of the NBA, in fact, the NBA has been trying to move closer to gambling to find new business growth points.
"Tim Donassie sent these redacted pieces to my account to prevent retaliation. I hesitated for a long time and watched the NBA teeter under the control of this group of deceitful people and fall into the trouble of a shutdown. At this point, I must stand up and identify the culprit responsible for all injustice, NBA commissioner David Stern. ”
Min Congda followed up with a third high-sounding tweet, pushing NBA public opinion to the forefront of American society.
In the past two years, professional sports in the United States have suffered from economic downturn and league shutdowns.
The NFL, the largest league in the world, was also mired in labor disputes this year, with a shutdown that began in April and did not resume until August.
Not long after the NFL recovered, the NBA began to shut down again, one after another.
NBA-Batman pointed the finger at Stern this time, once again complicating the problem.
Because of the account's unique status and huge influence, it was immediately retweeted by a large number of fans, and a large number of fans participated in the discussion.
The major media also don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, don't rush the team, follow up the report first, and make the matter bigger.
Anyway, the NBA has been suspended, and there are no games to broadcast recently, and everyone is tired of watching the tug-of-war between labor and management.
There was just something new to stimulate everyone's attention, and for a while, the news was overwhelming.
On the one hand, Stern was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.
On the other hand, I haven't been able to find a reason to sue NBA-Batman before, but this time I finally got my chance.
The NBA's legal department immediately went out and held a press conference to state that what NBA-Batman said was pure nonsense!
They will then use legal action to sue Twitter Inc. and the account owners behind NBA-Batman.
"As long as he's on Earth, no matter where he's from, we're going to get him out and take him to court!"
David Stern solemnly stated at the press conference that he must use the law to seek justice for himself.
Because of this incident, the negotiations between labor and management scheduled for November 26 were postponed.
Labor Executive Director Hunt issued a statement, "If the league's top management has been manipulating the game and harming the fairness of the game, then our players will never agree to work and serve these fraudsters!" ”
In this way, coupled with Kobe Bryant and other stars taking the lead in suing the NBA and many teams in Northern California courts, the league was in a state of flux for a while.
Even so, NBA-Batman's account continues to update the deleted episodes of Donathee's autobiography daily.
These things are actually as early as a year ago, Min Congda had seen the "inside information" sent by an unknown person in the background.
I don't know if it was sent by Donaxi himself, or if someone else impersonated.
It's like someone posted a video of James being detained before.
After this account became famous, someone broke the news to him from time to time.
Unconsciously, Min Congda has collected a lot of messy black materials.
No matter which society it is, there are always a lot of such insiders and black materials.
It's just that the vast majority of people don't have a vocal channel, and in the end they can only swallow their anger, knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.
Once there is a "Batman"-like character appears, many people will choose to give it a try and shake it off.
There is a reporter in China whose surname is Cui, and he has a drawer for such things.
It's just that Min Congda is an individual, and he can't tell whether the content is true or false.
So he can't really "do chivalrous" like Batman.
It can only be said that Stern is more unlucky, you are the head of the NBA, don't sacrifice you.
Some people died, but not completely......
