After the video of the Draymond and Poole fight came out, Richard Jefferson tweeted,
[“Id fire my ENTIRE VIDEO STAFF.”](https://twitter.com/Rjeff24/status/1578388168864190466)
As Nick Wright has mentioned,
> “[On one hand you have Draymond Green, a team leader & veteran, rolling up on & throwing a haymaker at an unsuspecting, much smaller, teammate. On the other hand, you have some anonymous employee who leaked the video. Curious to see who focus on which party today!”](https://twitter.com/getnickwright/status/1578390112345399298)
———————————–
It looks like the players have chose what they want to focus on. They aren’t going to say anything about one of their brothers. Instead, it looks like the new media will be trying to shift the topic to who might’ve released the video. š¤·

Why are so many players focusing on the “Who leaked it” part of the video and not on Draymond who literally assaulted his teamate
These guys are getting more upset about someone videotaping an assault, than the actual assault
I’d fire Draymond.
“The New Media” is codeword for Player Propaganda lol.
I’m not surprised players and former players are acting this way, I would imagine something like this happens every year for every team.
still its completely unacceptable
so players are blaming person who sent the video to TMZ rather than person who clocked their teammate…
Whoever leaked that video got a massive payday. I would 100% do the same
āBroke the codeā
grown men can’t handle consequences?
Most of you players earned more in a single game than this poor SOB earns in a year. Get off your high horse smh
People are weird.
Cause the video creates even more drama. Imagine if we had footage of Mj punching Kerr. Yall dont even care about that since you didnt see it
Called it lol https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/xy0gbe/donovan_mitchell_just_tweeted_sending_that_video/irep3k9?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3
The NBA/GSW will probably gonna launch an investigation on who leaked this, watch lolol
You can be upset at Draymond and the people who leaked the video. Itās not that complicated people
Idc how competitive a sport is Iām always reluctant to excuse assault
Truly hope it was someone working maintenance or security or building staff who makes 45K a year and got a huge payday for it. Buy a home, pay off your debts, have a crazy Christmas for your family.
Alternatively would love for it to have been Joe Lacob, who is sitting around going “Fuck, I gotta pay this whole team and the tax on it” and is grabbing cash however it comes.
Pro athletes arenāt used to consequences and accountability for their actions. When youāve had your ass kissed your entire life, it just comes natural.
I’d fire Draymond.
yea, blame it on the lowly peons rather than the one actually committing a crime (assault).
Nba players sound like cops today lmao
That person will get paid more for that video than they will the entire year probablyā¦ Draymond Green is the menace here.
The fuck is wrong with all these players acting like leaking the video is worse than what happened in it? Seriously, what the fuck.
Grown men shouldnāt be punching other grown men, fuck your dumb ass code
Players are quick to (probably rightfully) call out other public figures/people in power when they cover for their own.
But no shame to do it themselves when the situation comes up.
It’s like McNulty in The Wire running the serial killer investigation. All of a sudden everyone is coming to him with their pet projects and he has to deal with the same nonsense his bosses do.
I would Fire Green, the Man Who assaulted a teammate
Media members/fans online are more upset about what Dray did while players are more upset about it leaking. This tells me that this stuff happens WAY more often than we realize and that itās usually kept internal. Not excusing anything Draymond did by any means def crossed the line big time and should be punished imo but the fact that ex & current players take more umbrage at this getting outside of the team family is telling
Nah fam itās a dog eat dog world, Iām taking a massive payday and leaking the vid no matter what. Good on the leaker
Draymond green should be fired immediately for this violent attack on a coworker!
The players are not going to win this PR battle
“I’d fire the entire hotel elevator’s video staff!”
-Ray Rice
Damn, this makes me think there is WAY more fighting in the NBA than we must think…crazy that the fucking decking Dray gave Poole is not as foul as selling the vid to TMZ. How about not physically fighting, guys?
Feels like thin blue line bullshit.
I think I’d fire Draymond, personally.
What’s with NBA players and being absolute morons? Constantly deflecting blame and accountability.
This is some “back the blue” shit when a cop does something fucked up.
I, for one, enjoy having transparency when it comes to shit behaviour.
People donāt typically give a shit when private DMs and other private things get leaked and bad behaviour is exposed. Some recent examples are Adam Levine, Sarver, Rachel Nichols (although she didnāt even do anything wrong). Not looking to compare the severity of what all these people got caught doing but I donāt think anybody really gave a shit in each of these cases about act of leaking for many different reasons
The players are worried because of how much bad behavior low level employees witness on the regular.
