Catch Fade: Baller-Turnt-Mayor Kevin Johnson Lays Hands On Man Who Hit Him In The Face With Pie

Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson Fights Man Who Hit Him With Pie At Charity Dinner Kevin Johnson was once one of best point guards in the NBA. Today, he’s the mayor of Sacramento and NOT to be f***ed with… Via ESPN A man hit Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson in the face with a pie at a charity dinner on Wednesday night, and an official said the former NBA star went on the defensive. The mayor had given a speech at the Seeds of HOPE dinner at Sacramento Charter High School before the man came up, pulled the pie from a bag and shoved it into Johnson’s face, according to the mayor’s chief of staff, Crystal Strait. She said the mayor defended himself against the man, but she would not give details. “The mayor was assaulted. I was standing right there, and I’m still pretty shaken up,” Strait said, speaking some three hours after the incident occurred. This what it looks like when Kevin Johnson “defends himself”. Looks a lot like an a$$-whoopin’, right? Police agreed. They arrested 32-year-old Sean Thompson on suspicion of assaulting a public official, which is a felony, the Sacramento Police Department said in a statement. Thompson was treated for a minor injury before he was taken to be booked into jail. It wasn’t clear if he had retained an attorney. Kevin Johnson got hands, huh? Guess if you’re the mayor you can’t be no b!t¢#. Image via AP/Sacramento PD

Derrick Rose Asks Judge To Force Rape Accuser To Go Public With Her Name

Derrick Rose Pushes To Make Accuser’s Name Public Derrick Rose’s gang rape case is still going heavy day by day. Now, Derrick’s team is trying to force the judge to let the world know exactly who is bringing these charges forward against him, saying that since she has so much to say to the public about the incident in question, she doesn’t deserve any anonymity . Via TMZ : Derrick Rose says he’s sick and tired of his rape accuser bashing him to the media — and he’s now begging a judge to force her to reveal her identity once and for all. We broke the story, the NBA superstar is being sued by a woman using the pseudonym “Jane Doe” — who claims Rose and his friends gang raped her back in 2013. Typically, the law allows someone who claims to be the victim of a sex crime to file a lawsuit under a pseudonym to protect their privacy rights. But Rose has just filed new legal docs saying Jane Doe has abused the privilege by going on a “nationwide pretrial media blitz” over the past week … which included phone interviews and a news conference. “Because Jane Doe and her lawyers are openly pandering to the media on a nationwide blitz tour, Ms. Doe should be precluded from using a pseudonym for any purpose, including media coverage.” In the docs, Rose accuses the woman of trying to get the case to play out in the court of public opinion so she can get a “large and extortionate settlement payment.” Generally in rape cases, the accuser’s name stays private for the VERY reason that sexual violation is a private matter, and the general public tends to put the victim on trial far more than the accused. The highly public circumstances of this one are definitely NOT like a typical rape trial…but will the judge really go for this reasoning? It will be very interesting to see how it all plays out.

She’s trying to get over him again. But she’s not ready to change her dating patterns yet,” said the insider.

Orioles Star Adam Jones On MLB’s Lack Of Support For Colin Kaepernick: ‘Baseball Is A White Man’s Sport’

Adam Jones Says Baseball Is A White Man’s Sport After Anthem Protest Orioles star Adam Jones recently discussed why certain MLB stars have refused to show support for Colin Kaepernick’s National Anthem protest reports USA Today : It started with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sitting, and later kneeling, during the national anthem during the NFL exhibition season. He was soon joined by teammate Eric Reid. It extended to Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall before Thursday’s NFL season opener. By Sunday, there were four NFL teams with players expressing silent protests, including Martellus Bennett and Devin McCourty of the New England Patriots, who stood with raised fists following the anthem. “We already have two strikes against us already,’’ Baltimore Orioles All-Star center fielder Adam Jones told USA TODAY Sports, “so you might as well not kick yourself out of the game. In football, you can’t kick them out. You need those players. In baseball, they don’t need us. “Baseball is a white man’s sport.’’ Indeed, African Americans comprise 68% of the player population in the NFL, and 74% in the NBA. That number is just 8% in baseball, with only 69 African-Americans on the opening-day rosters and disabled lists this season. Adam says he has no problem with Kap’s protest : “He believes in what he believes in,’’ Jones says of Kaepernick, “and as a man of faith, as an American who has rights, who am I to say he’s wrong? “Kaepernick is not disrespecting the military. He’s not disrespecting people who they’re fighting. What he’s doing is showing that he doesn’t like the social injustice that the flag represents. “Look, I know a lot of people who don’t even know the words to the national anthem. You know how many times I see people stand up for the national anthem and not pay attention. They stand because they’re told to stand. “That’s the problem. Just don’t do something because you’re told to do something. Do it because you understand the meaning behind it and the sacrifice behind it.” Discuss. MLB/Orioles Continue reading
