Haven’t watched since Bird and Magic retired. Worst pro sport to watch.

The only way to quell the injustices minorities feel is for people to hold the aggressors responsible with real consequences. Always have your camera ready to record.

Trey Gowdy made a great point. He asked where was there sentiment about black lives when he needed witnesses to step up after a black person was murdered.

Some black lives don't matter to BLM. They would include victims of black on black crime, young black kids being deprived of a quality education and the 40% of black babies killed in the womb every year.

Feel free to add to the list.

The NBA agreement was that they would go back only if their arenas would be used as polling places, which are mostly inner city because so many of the inner city polling places had been closed down. I call that progress.

I personally believe it was a complete coincidence that players went back after they found out their salary would be cut.

NBA ? Never heard of it?

eddie888 08-30-2020 07:21 AM

I will never watch another game.!

Cheapbas 08-30-2020 07:21 AM

Funny, same answer to both announcements

We’re walking out.....who cares

We’re back! Who cares

meridian5850 08-30-2020 08:05 AM

I couldn't care less....

Racism in the NBA:
Why is it that more Black basketball player punch White basketball then White basketball players bunching Black basketball players?
I remember a few years back for Black players that was the in-thing-to-do....

I was going to watch some of their games today but I have to rearrange my sock drawer.

I must live under a rock but who actually watches the NBA - I don't know a single person. I know one or two that are into college but that's about it.

If only NBA had someone with a working brain

Zero people have been shot that didn’t resist arrest!
Maybe not resisting arrest works!
Too many cops have been killed by criminals resisting arrest

Seriously? I guess you expect people to be in a constant state of protest march...maybe camp out on the streets until racism is over?? The walkout was a symbol of their support for those who stand against racism. My guess is you will never understand.

Do you have a source for the reporting in a salary cut?

No you probably don't because the NBA has been the leader in this movement since George Floyd was murdered. Stop spreading falsehoods. Speaking of hoods yours has a stain.

So you're okay with peaceful protests as long as it's on your terms because kneeling is a form of peaceful protest much like Tommie Smith and John Carlos raising their fists on the Olympic podium.

Funny that was 52 years ago and Black Americans are still fighting the same injustices.
