Dwyane Wade wont shut up and dribble after learning Parkland student was buried in his Heat jerey

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade on Monday reacted to news that Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting victim Joaquin Oliver was buried in his jersey, explaining the 17-year-old’s tragic death is precisely the reason basketball players won’t “shut up and dribble.”

Oliver’s parents on Sunday spoke on the Univsion talk show “Al Punto,” telling host Jorge Ramos their son was buried in Wade’s jersey.

Shortly thereafter, Wade took to Twitter to say of the revelation, “you’re about to make me cry this afternoon.”

“You really can’t put that in words,” Wade later told reporters . “You hurt for the family. If you ever get the opportunity to speak to them, you just try to hope the time where he was alive that you were able to bring some type of joy to his life and something memorable. A story that his family and you guys can talk about.”

1. Most of us agree...

2. A Retort To Laura Ingrate, These Guys Should Use

We hear from her ilk that these "make all that money to play a game".

I think it would be a serious slapdown if they simply prefaced whatever they were going to say by reminding her that they are WAY RICHER than she is. That would melt her face.

3. At least NBA players provide entertainment

Ingram gets paid a lot of money and what she provides for it has absolutely no societal redeeming value whatsoever.

[ProfessorGAC]

5. She Doesn't Get Paid What Wade and James Get Paid

That's why i think reminding her that they have WAY more money than she has would get under her skin.

[alfredo]

22. Envy might have been her motive in the first place

[deurbano]

7. In fact, the opposite. She has a completely negative impact.

[DeminPennswoods]

17. like a black hole

nt

[lastlib]

28. ...she sucks. eom

[Locrian]

4. re Ingraham...

“It’s always unwise to seek political advice from someone who gets paid $100 million a year to bounce a ball,” Ingraham said in response. “Keep the political comments to yourselves.”

As opposed to someone like her that gets paid a lot of money to spew verbal diarrhea?

[ProfessorGAC]

6. She Doesn't Make $100 Million

That makes them richer than her. She just must hate that. That's why i said above, they need to keep reminding her that they are far richer than she.

[Locrian]

30. she makes enough

Something wrong with a system that reward$$$ people for vomiting things on teevee.
In a just society, she'd be relegated to a van down by the river, foaming at the mouth and muttering about kids staying off her dirt lawn.

(actually, in a really functioning system she'd be a better person having overcame whatever twisted her mind - but I digress).

15. To me the most vile racist thing she said

Was the dismissive "Must they run their mouths like that" while making the - mom who smells a fart- face.

Love that she brought 2 black guys on the next day to do the "that ain't racist" shuffle

[Marcuse]

29. Shut Up and Sing was her attack screed on the Dixie Chicks for protesting the Iraq War.

She was as wrong then as she is now.

8. I'm thankful that these reports still choke me up

45, republicans and their ilk haven't made me lose my soul, and I'm thankful for that. This stuff is never going to be "normal" for me.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. It made me choke up too. I am sure Dwyane Wade was really moved.

[Ohiogal]

16. I can't imagine how that would feel.

I get choked up thinking about it myself, I can't imagine how that makes Wade feel. Good for him for speaking out, I hope he never stops!

[left-of-center2012]

10. Yeah

It brings a few tears to my 71 year old eyes.

Sadly, I expect some NRA whack job will tweet a joke about this kid.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. Sports is my other passion.

I didn't post it on a sports board I frequent because I didn't want it trolled. It's definitely poignant.

[griloco]

11. Hey guys! Easy on Laura Ingraham. Practicing what she preaches she

does dribble on and on and on & on infinitum

[iluvtennis]

13. Wade is one of my favorite players from his time with Miami Heat. Has always been political and

I like his stance wrt Parkland school murders (sic, it was murder...not going to water it down with shooting)

[Gothmog]

14. Wade is a good man

[SunSeeker]

18. ...

[spanone]

19. damn, that got me...

[Cha]

20. Wonderful post.. what a sweetheart,

Dwayne Wade is.. and Joaquin Oliver.

Mahalo, DSB~

[Initech]

21. Fox News can go eat a steaming bag of rancid dog shit.

[klook]

23. Oh man

Dwayne Wade, NBA great and standout human being.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. He had a Hell of a game for a 36 year old player tonight.

Just finished watching it,

Love you, Dwyane.

[klook]

25. Maybe he was playing his heart out for Joaquin.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

26. It was an amazing game. He helped the Heat snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat.
