Indiana Pacers All-Star Paul George recently posted a series of tweets defending former Baltimore Ravens tailback Ray Rice, and I'm not sure which is more offensive, the actual content of George's tweets or the grammar.
George started his controversial tweet-a-thon with this:
"Keep it 100 lets act on this police violence like we actin on this Ray Rice case! Stay strong homie!"
He followed that up with this:
"I don't condone hittin women or think it's coo BUT if SHE ain't trippin then I ain't trippin.. Lets keep it movin lol let that man play!"
Last but not least, George tweeted this:
"If you in a relationship and a woman hit you first and attacking YOU.. Then you obviously ain't beatin HER. Homie made A bad choice! #StayUp"
I'm now going to try and translate the before-mentioned tweets before deciding if their message or grammar was more offensive.
Paul George: "Keep it 100 lets act on this police violence like we actin on this Ray Rice case! Stay strong homie!"
My translation: "Let's give 100% to police violence investigations like we are with this Ray Rice case! Stay strong, Ray, even though it's your wife you punched in the face!"
Paul George: "I don't condone hittin women or think it's coo BUT if SHE ain't trippin then I ain't trippin.. Lets keep it movin lol let that man play!"
My translation: "I don't think hitting women is as cool as smoking was in movies back in the day, but since neither she nor I are tripping on something or another, we're going to keep moving. If we were tripping, we'd fall down and be less apt to moving, at least, in the immediate future. Let Ray Rice play, just not with my girlfriend in a boxing ring!"
Paul George: "If you in a relationship and a woman hit you first and attacking YOU.. Then you obviously ain't beatin HER. Homie made A bad choice! #StayUp"
My translation: "If you're in a relationship with a woman, who's much smaller than you, and she gives you a light slap across the face and you respond by giving her three strong jabs and an uppercut, then you're obviously not beating her. That's just self-defense. Ray made a bad choice, but she was asking for it! #StayUpWhileKnockingHerDown"
So, what's more offensive - the content or the grammar? While the grammar is extremely offensive, how he downplays domestic violence is even more offensive. Score one for Paul George's content being more offensive than his grammar.
