One lone man refusing to bow to BAAL. The NBA, NFL, and MLB are all showing which god they serve.

Exactly. We should pray for Jonathan Isaac.

"I'm very curious about — and will be patient for — Jonathan Isaac's explanation here," tweeted basketball writer Dane Moore.

Isaac doesn't owe this dickhead a damn thing.
