Take Out the Trash Talk

Way to go!    (USMC photo)

Joel Embiid and Karl Anthony Towns are doing neither themselves nor anyone else a favor by trashing one another.

It’s bad enough to engage in a brawl on the court.  Fans came to witness basketball, not free-for-all.  Worse yet, these players

continued to spew forth garbage on social media.

Adam Silver has his work cut out for him.  He has already pointed out the ill effects that social-media trash talk has upon mental health.  Now it might be time to insist upon a higher level of NBA sportsmanship.
