PBA Controversy: Is Ginebra' Scottie Thompson issue, not basketball-related?



 Imagine ladies that your boyfriend proposed to marry you and then six months later, he will marry another lady.

Good for you, you are only imagining. Unfortunately for Pau Fajardo, that happened to her. Thanks to Scottie Thompson.

When he has this type of issue, fans usually defend the players with, "that is personal, let them tackle it privately. No need to talk about it in public."

The reality is, that is a basketball-related issue. Remember that players are playing for franchises with brand names. Cheating issues or family problems matter for the brand. 

We all saw that happened with Calvin Abueva. Alaska Aces traded him, and one of the reasons was his marriage problems. It happened again in Phoenix and just like the last time, he was again moved.

Not only that, players are friends with each other. The wives are friends with each other. Remember the issue of Paul Lee and Jio Jalalon in the past? It was rooted in their better halves. 

And in the issue of Scottie, the fiancee of Aljon Mariano spoke on Social media. 

She did not write it directly but it was pretty obvious that she is pointing to Scottie as the reason of the false engagement of Scottie and Pau.

Yes. Personal problems of players who are pretty bad are related to basketball.
