It seems all sports are being tarnished by pushing BLM. Even tennis.

What is BLM? The big question is what has BLM done for blacks?

Agree.
The same discussion I have with my children...............
all the money they have raised.......where is the support

all the destruction they have caused (directly & indirectly)
focus only on white cops killing blacks (irregardless of crimes, actions, stats)
don't care about black on black crimes (& children)
foundation of Marxism




Black lives do matter but Black Lives Matter is not a good organization.

When you Google or Bing "Where does BLM get it's money?". You get a bunch of different answers, some from valid sources and some just conspiracy theories, but you get all different takes on this. When you want to know about an issue, follow the money.

I wonder where the money came from. I can understand the roots of the idea but it isn't working out well at all. It seems to me to be causing more negativity than positivity.

Here read this Bing before someone criticizes me.

BLM has, by its own actions, driven a bigger divide between races than any white supremecist group could have hoped or achieved on their own.
It has set back race relations by years.

Tennis has always been out there in this country.

I agree, but improving race relations is not really part of the BLM mission. This is their mission:

"Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a decentralized political and social movement advocating for non-violent civil disobedience in protest against incidents of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against black people."

Getting tired, that happened a long time ago. Totally exhausted at this point.

So reducing "racially motivated violence against black people" doesn't count as "improving race relations"?

On top of the being tired of it is the unbelievable over reaction of of so many sports and corporate organizations.
So much so that it is causing more discrimination than existed previously. To include openly singling out why being white is the root cause of the problem!!!

Protesting against something doesn't necessarily result in "reducing" it. The stated mission is only to advocate non-violent protesting. I would also take issue with the non-violent part. I haven't seen many BLM people speaking out against or trying to stop the violent protesters.

So far, they've failed.

A good start for BLM would be to sort out the biggest perpetrators of violence against blacks, and it isn't the police or whites.
It's themselves.
Maybe then people will start to listen to their other perceived grievences.
I was always taught to get my own house in order first, before telling others what to do.

They also want an end to the "western" nuclear family and advocate a communist position.
