Unless the cops are going in depth all they have to go on is the arrest report

IMO, it would be more ethical and would better serve the public to gather more info rather than posting an uninformative blurb.....

I guess that's simply the world we live in today.....get the story out as quickly as possible and add the details later....

at face value it's lazy reporting to me....

So he is a liar and a felon to be now that he's been arested for pointing a gun at a food delivery lady. Lovely guy.

Player took a knee. Later, says he was denied service because the waiter didn’t like that he took the knee. Multiple people at the table back up his version of events. Waiter denies it.

You act like he released a recording and bodycam footage and the player is definitively proven wrong. Maybe the player is lying and he schemed with 2 friends to make up the story. Maybe the waiter is lying. Don’t know, don’t really care either way.

What am I missing here?

Article and “story” pretty clearly says this idjit took the knee BECAUSE he was denied service. But he wasn’t, apparently his criminal friend (snicker) was.

The waiter wasn’t protesting anything, he could be locked up and fined for serving an expired id.

Those are only good for voting, collecting benis and walking unfettered into our country.

Drinks? Nope, can’t do that.

Reading comprehension?!? Lolololol

Yikes, are you for real? I’ll bold the relevant parts for you.

Quote:Oakland A’s catcher Bruce Maxwell, 26, claimed this week that a waiter in his Alabama hometown of Huntsville refused him service after identifying him as the MLB player who took the knee during “The Star Spangled Banner” last month

Quote:However, Maxwell told TMZ Sports this week — and headlines since have spanned the globe — that the waiter said to him, “You’re the guy who took the knee?” After confirming he was, Maxwell alleged that the waiter then responded, “I voted for Trump, and I stand for everything he stands for,” and then refused to serve him.

So the article pretty clearly states he took a knee BECAUSE he was denied service? He’s a psychic I guess, and he knew he would be denied service in the future for a knee he hadn’t taken yet?

Quote:Reading comprehension?!? Lolololol

Uhhhh, nope.

The article doesn’t state crap, you just didn’t bother reading past the yarn this ball player tried to pass off as the alternative reality.

He took the knee because “he” was denied service, cause you know black guy and all. Cept according to others that isn’t what happened.

His criminal buddy was denied service for having an expired id, and this was apparently a clear racissss affront, so he decided to get his kapperdick on.

Horse/cart.

JFC. One more time.

The knee came BEFORE the incident in the restaurant. There is zip, zero, zilch debate about that. That is not in question. He did not take a knee BECAUSE of what happened at the restaurant; he is claiming what happened at the restaurant (his version of it, not saying it’s true) is BECAUSE he took the knee.

How are you missing this? This is elementary school level stuff.

Players version: The waiter refused me service because I had taken a knee during the star spangled banner.

Waiters version: I didn’t even know who this player was. He was given service, but his friend was not given alcohol because his ID was expired.

Maybe the waiter is telling the truth and the player is lying. Ok. That doesn’t change the timeline of events. The knee came BEFORE the restaurant. Nobody is arguing that. Not the player, not the waiter. Only you

Actually we really don't know if it came before or after...

the guy who likes getting on his knees said he was refused service...LAST WEEK.

The waiter and the manager said it happened over a month ago.

I do not know when this guy dropped to his knees...I tend to turn the other way when you see a guy on his knees. I don't keep up with baseball.

So if comprehension is in question we really don't know since there were no clear dates stated by anyone involved. You can infer any date you want. But without either giving a a day with the month we don't know if this was after or before Sept 23rd (day stated in the article

The knee dropper said last week. The waiter and his manager said almost a month ago.

Quote:“We didn’t even discuss Trump. I was working two jobs, I don’t have time for rallies,” Henry continued. “If this all happened a month ago, why suddenly now is he claiming all this now?”

Quote:The restaurant manager on duty that day, Anne Whalen — who requested the restaurant name not be used without permission from the owner — also told Fox News that Maxwell’s story being portrayed in the media could not be further from the truth.

“Matt came to me and told me that a guy wanted a beer but his ID was not valid and I told him he absolutely could not give it to him, we can go to jail for that in the state of Alabama," the manager said.

"It was his friend causing all the fuss, none of us even knew who this baseball player was. I told him I had no idea who he was going on about,” she said. “Eventually Matt just asked if we could put another server on the table so I did. … I can’t believe the story.”

^ You guys are just messing with me now right?

The player came out with the story a week ago. He didn’t claim the incident happened a week ago. If anything, the player saying it happened a week ago would back up what I’m saying. He wasn’t playing baseball a week ago, so obviously the incident would have happened after he took a knee.

FYI, the only thing I’ve ever argued in this thread is that the player kneeled, then claimed that he was denied service because he was identified as the player who took a knee. Not that he actually was denied service for this reason, but that is what he claimed. That’s it. It’s painfully, ridiculously obvious, stated clearly in the Fox article.

Quote:Oakland A’s catcher Bruce Maxwell, 26, claimed this week that a waiter in his Alabama hometown of Huntsville refused him service after identifying him as the MLB player who took the knee during “The Star Spangled Banner” last month

There it is. The player claimed he was refused service because he took a knee. The player did not take a knee because he was refused service.

That’s it. Nobody outside of the thread disputes that. Some people in this thread tried to claim that he took a knee to protest the waiter, and that is just not true. That’s all I’m arguing.

I’m actually more inclined to believe the waiters version of events after seeing this guys arrest, but again, I never claimed other wise. The player might have lied, and the incident might not have happened. But the player never, at any point, claimed that he was taking a knee to protest the treatment from the waiter. The player has always claimed that the treatment from the waiter was a result of the kneeling.
