oo:
No way man. The dude is a young kid. Who hasn't yelled at someone when they were young, dumb, and drunk (and fresh off getting a bunch of money). I've seen people do that a million times going out in Seattle, he isn't doing anything new. That type of behavior deserves an apology, not losing your job.
Who cares about PR though? Most people hate Seattle so unless it's in regards to the individual marketability of a player bad PR means nothing. This guy is 21, he's young and stupid; hating the police and talking shit to them isn't exactly shocking from a young black male (who doesn't hate the police in 2017 besides old republicans?) but he obviously needs to learn how to handle his shot better (nothing wrong with talking shit to cops but it usually is pretty stupid to do) and I think that's what he was on about rather than being elitist (he was trying to insult them because they are police, it seems).
I don't think this behavior is unique to Seattle but the difference is Pete not only allows his players to be vocal on all subject matters he encourages it so we see a lot more vocal players from Sherm to Michael Bennett and others who are all mostly against the police in one form or another. Some of them definitely need work on knowing when and how to express certain things.
