Various sports personalities have expressed their opinions about Grizzlies star Ja Morant’s recent suspension after he was shown displaying a gun in a video for the second time in recent months.
While ESPN’s JJ Redick says Morant shouldn’t face a lengthy suspension, TNT’s Charles Barkley shared a much more blunt perspective Wednesday night.
“We got some idiots, some fools, some jacka---- on television that really just p— me off, talking about Ja should make a stand by saying he didn’t break any laws, he didn’t do anything wrong. Those guys are just freaking idiots,” Barkley said. “When you’re making $100 million a year to play sports, your life changes. There are certain rules and regulations that you have to live by. You can’t do stupid stuff. That’s the tradeoff.”
