I don't condone infidelity either, but betrayal of trust seems at least as, if not more, evil to me. If you confided in someone you considered a friend that you had done something you didn't want revealed and that person secretly taped it and allowed it to be fodder for the whole world, how would you feel?
Isn't cheating on a significant other a betrayal of trust? Betraying someone you share intimate relations with is 10x worse than betraying a coworker/teammates trust. Young had what was coming, and if it wasn't Russell it wouldve been something else that got him caught. Russell getting tarnished for this whole incident is completely wrong. If Young valued his girlfriend, he wouldnt have cheated. If he didn't value her enough, then getting caught really shouldnt matter all that much.
I agree 100%, future...Young is the bad guy here, not Russell. But I think we are looking at the incident through a white suburban lens, not through the lens of a typical NBA player. I don't know for sure of course, but I think if you secretly polled NBA players on who was the more guilty party here, 90% would say Russell. Snitching is the ultimate sin in urban black culture, and especially in the NBA where infidelity is so common.
Yeah LST, I think your post encapsulates the situation pretty well. AK47 is an extreme example, but a lot of the significant others know what they're getting into with these guys.
