[ESPN PR] There was an erroneous report that suggested Patrick Beverley was banned from appearing on ESPN. He isn’t banned and never was.

  1. A lot of dudes gonna have to delete some comments and what not

  2. if u ban pat bev for what he did its a slippery slope because theres plenty of other dudes that is ban worthy if not more

  3. smallskeletal

    Here comes another summer of Pat Bev slandering CP on first take

  4. Professional journalists that tweets out fake news should actually receive bans.

    First strike, suspension

    second strike, lengthy suspension

    Third strike, ban like Jontay Porter

    [EDIT] The fact this is getting downvoted demonstrates exactly what’s wrong with people with Tik Tok brains. They rather have instant information, than actually vetted accurate information that will take more time.

    Good. Getting banned for telling someone to subscribe to his pod is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.

  6. FultzShoulder

    As it turns out Pat Bev is subscribed to ESPN+.

  7. rumblegod

    Lmao good. Pat is an interesting character 🤣 and this would have set a bad precedent for espn a very bad loosing strategy.

  8. HoopsHistoryHubb

    Lol everyone saying it was a huge overreaction was downvoted to controversial in the original threads

  9. DannyBoyCocane13

    You guys think this post will get as much attention as the fake one?

    “Unfortunately, ESPN is not allowed to discuss the situation regarding Patrick Beverly, due to not being *subbed to his pod*”

  11. Annual_Plant5172

    Ban or not, ESPN allowing him back on the air after he insulted one of their long time employees like that would be a terrible look on their part.

    Edit: There are a lot of 16 year olds in here that are going to get a hard life lesson if they think actions don’t have consequences out in the real world, lol.

    Is this sub about basketball or just gossip related to the NBA? Nobody cares about this fake drama, this sub is starting to look like an NBA r/Fauxmoi

  13. Lmao and I got down voted for saying what he did wasn’t that deep

  14. But Reddit already had their celebration party!

  15. Next_Sherbert_17

    That man is hilarious don’t care what the woke mob says

  16. Touro_Bebe

    ESPN negotiating to have Beverley as a substitute to Ernie in their future show: “Inside the NBA”

  17. I don’t get why this would hurt Pat Bev anyways. His pod got more active subscribers than ESPN.

    Not having Bev on the show just means less views from the controversy he generates.

  18. zaglawloblaw

    Silver should still suspend the guy for a year. Career is about to be over.

  19. No_Produce_6634

    “The people responsible for banning Pat Bev have been banned”

  20. Princessk8--

    Sounds like they buried the hatchet and then decided the American people were stupid and would just believe it never happened

  21. silversmith84

    I thought that seemed strange. I mean, he prob deserves it, but I don’t remember anything like that in the past despite many assholes being disrespectful.

  22. A PR statement with image for patrick fucking beverley is insanity.

  23. StoneColdAM

    That was a total overreaction if so. Was reported by Front Office Sports (but since retracted): https://frontofficesports.com/espn-patrick-beverley-ban/

    I wonder if he was actually banned but ESPN realized it looked bad on them somehow and they undid it. 

    Ultimately Pat Bev shouldn’t have attacked the fans and being a jerk to an ESPN reporter is not going to help his media career 

  24. Where’s everyone from the 7 threads spreading false info yesterday? Fucking crickets.

  25. illiterateaardvark

    Great derision. Pat Bev acted like a jackass, but to ban him PERMANENTLY over THAT would have been a massive overreaction. Other players have done worse and not gotten anything resembling a ban

  26. breadbinkers

    I knew this shit sounded so weird. And why did he apologize to ESPN rather than the fan he beaned? Why isn’t that the news over this garbage? I knew it felt weird and pearl clutchy from espn. Cringe and childish from Pat? Absolutely. But since when do they ban players for acting like that? Lets talk about him actually throwing a ball at a fan instead lol

  27. PlanktonSemantics

    Bummer I just commented on that other post too oh well. I’m not too Pat Bev to admit when I got something wrong.

  28. SubcooledBoiling

    First Take should have Pat Bev on the show next Monday

  29. Productpusher

    Anyone to find out if and how many subscribers he gained from these shenanigans since the ball throwing

  30. True as this may be he’s still banned from appearing on my podcast.
