Lots of passion today! A FEW TRUTHS:

(1) A black person in America is more than 60 times more likely to be killed by a black person than a white person! (FBI Crime Report, Homicide Statistics, Table 6).

(2) BLM Cares not a whit about that fact, ONLY the few blacks that are killed by white police officers. Go to their own web site and READ IT!

(3) Every day, in America THOUSANDS of people have to decide how to respond to a police stop. (EVERY RACE) 99.9% of these people understand YOU DO NOT FIGHT PHYSICALLY. If you think you have been wrongfully stopped or harassed, there are countless legal remedies and attorneys that will represent you (pro-bono) in a heartbeat. Look at EVERY case in America that is costing billions of dollars in rioting damages. EVERY CASE INVOLVES A BLACK MAN THAT HAS HAS CHOSEN to physically resist a police officer! When you can cite even ONE EXCEPTION I will change my opinion.

4. Police in this country rightfully fear for their lives, daily! Police ambushes and outright unprovoked murders FAR OUTNUMBER all the blacks killed by police officers! If you have a modicum of common sense you DO NOT PHYSICALLY CHALLENGE someone that fears for their life!

(5) The racist BLM movement is CREATING more racists, in America, than any organization has done before.

Until THEY are hit where it hurts.....in the pocketbook, they'll continue to think any of us are impressed by their antics, keep following them and bowing down. SO sick of it all.
Kapernick lost north of $50M for his cause against black racism. I think that he has put a lot of money where his mouth is. I wonder how many on this site would have done the same for thier cause of indignation regarding what is happening in America?

White collar criminals hurt society MUCH more than Blue collar criminals.

If you look at statistics , most murders are intraracial ( same race) with FBI data from 2017 follows this trend: 80.2% of white victims were killed by white offenders, 8.9% of Black victims were killed by whites, 88.5% of Black victims were killed by Blacks, and 16.1% of whites were killed by Blacks.

So if I were I were you, I would be more worried about white neighbor. Sarcasm.

These statistics show that these murders are more of a crime of opportunity since we are still primarily a segregated society.

Seeing all the games are virtual and no fans are inconvenienced (except for maybe having to pick up the remote to change the station), it will be interesting to see fan reaction.

Personally, I am so over professional sports.
I was over sports a long time ago. They get paid way to much for “playing” games all day and they cry they want more money. They are all worthless. Hope athletes suffer and lose their jobs like many others. They deserve too

True! That lady WAS harassed big time. That WAS wrong. And they were spreading possible CV droplets on her. She had a mask on. SOME people can ruin a good cause. They crossed a point of over-zealousness from which ALL of them can NOT return. Total shame. The CLOSEST ones SHOULD get civil or Criminal charges!!!!
