Jim Rome

"Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" NBA Commissioner David Stern asked sports talk radio personality Jim Rome during a contentious interview on Rome's nationally syndicated radio program on Wednesday afternoon.

Did Rome was charge with domestic violence at some point or?
Can't seem to find anything.
No lawsuit either.

That wasn't the point of Stern asking him that question. It was to show that when you ask a loaded question putting them on the defensive no answer comes across looking good.

It's a common response to what is perceived as a loaded question phrased in such a way that the answer is assumed.
In formal logic, referred to as question begging.

make sense.

Rome was the first of public sports trolls. He paved the way. He was the Ronda Rousey of sports media. The Jackie Robinson. He was pushing buttons before you were accidentally injected into your mother's egg, you snot nose little Shertards. Have some respect.

David Stern is the former commissioner fwiw.

Maybe it's an American thing, but "have you stopped beating your wife?" is a question to indicate that a previous question is unfair. It's not an indication that Rome has a history of domestic violence.

Think about it. What's the answer to that question?

You can't say, "yes, I've stopped beating my wife," as that indicates that you used to beat her. You can't say, "no, I haven't" because that will land you in jail.

Rome is and has always been a spineless can.
Glad UFC didn't go with him.

I can't stand Jim Everett/Rome but I happened to hear that exchange. Rome handled it well. It was a stupid response. Stern just trying to deflect the fact that no one cares about the WNBA and avoid the topic of racketeering --- for which I think the feds should go after him for.

I wouldn't be surprised if Stern was forced to leave the NBA, rather than resign. Remember, this is the same guy who said, "gentleman. We are not in the sports business, we are in the entertainment business".
