Rant Wednesday: The D'Angelo Russell Situation

Hi Everyone! Welcome to the 3rd installment of Rant Wednesday. I drafted today's blog on a completely different topic but decided to change it when I heard about the D'Angelo Russell situation this morning.

While listening to my favorite sports show, Doug and Wolf, on AZ Sports 98.7 FM, the hot topic was about the situation with a video that surfaced of a conversation between LA Lakers' teammates D'Angelo Russell and Nick Young.

If you have not heard the story you can catch it on this ESPN article.

The quick summary is there appears to be a conversation between Young and Russell where Young is talking about other women he has been with, that are not his fiance, Iggy Azalea.

The story is that Russell was recording Young as a prank and told Young about it at the end of the conversation. This video got leaked to a media site similar to TMZ.

The story goes on to say Russell is being shunned by the Lakers' locker room and no one believes that he can be trusted.

My only semi-rant on this one is that I haven't heard enough information to convict Russell on this and everyone is coming down on him hard. He is being called a Snitch.

I started wondering if he could have possibly shared his prank with someone else and they got a hold of his phone and leaked it. And if it is possible that Russell is not telling anyone about this so he doesn't snitch on the real culprit.

Now, I have no idea if that is even possible or if Russell really did release the video on purpose. Either way, it seems there is much more to this story.

Thoughts?

Have you heard enough to convict?

Do you think Young should have been snitched on?

Was it the wrong forum to do it?

If it were someone close to you (i.e. sister, close friend) that was being cheated on does that change whether or not you snitch?
