Growing up an enormous professional wrestling fan, I\u2019ve seen some unhealthy scripts in my day, however this one takes the cake. Whoever wrote this script must be drop-kicked repeatedly. Include the one that accredited this script and subsequent filming of the next video.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"twitter-embed\"><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/deadspin.com\/embed\/inset\/iframe?id=twitter-1631067777682354177&amp;autosize=1\" autoresize=\"true\" id=\"twitter-1631067777682354177\" data-recommended=\"false\" width=\"500\" height=\"159\" class=\"core-inset lazyload\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"webkitAllowFullScreen\" mozallowfullscreen=\"mozallowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">The reality the NBA is having groups acknowledge girls in March is nice, however how about placing precise thought into what you\u2019d like gamers to say on digital camera? Obviously, Fred Van Fleet and Pascal Siakam determined to skip this tribute video. Either they noticed the script and stated, \u201cNah, Ima sit this one out,\u201d or Scottie Barnes, Precious Achiuwa, and Malachi Flynn drew the quick straws.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">These gamers look so uncomfortable and awkward on this video which begs the query why the Raptors selected to put up this so rapidly? This was the equal of breaking a information story with out all of the details simply to be first. They couldn\u2019t wait even a full day earlier than fumbling the month away. Something so easy winds up taking place as a comical second that would have been prevented with a little bit of persistence. Or any concept of something girls do effectively aside from having youngsters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">As Emily Leibert <span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 hMndXN sc-145m8ut-0 kGbjEv js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;Internal link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/jezebel.com\/toronto-raptors-delete-apologize-for-cringey-womens-hi-1850184241&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/jezebel.com\/toronto-raptors-delete-apologize-for-cringey-womens-hi-1850184241\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote over at Jezebel<\/a><\/span>: \u201cI can\u2019t stop thinking about how, out of a bench of 17 players, <em>these<\/em> were the best responses the team could come up with.
