No, say it isn’t so❗️😱

Excellent Post❗️

Here is what the NBA demands;

The league and players union released a joint statement Friday announcing resumption of the games, and said that the league and its players will work together on several initiatives to promote voting access, combat social injustice and racial inequality, and advocate for police reform.

Among the initiatives is advertising that will promote social justice as part of the broadcasts.

Here are “MY” demands to the NBA and Pro Sports:

Remove The painted BLACK LIVES MATTER” from the NBA floors. BLM founder is an admitted Marxist (embodies socialism) so if you want the majority to support your cause find or start an organization that embodies capitalism and openly disavows violence.

Agree to promote social justice with police reform without defunding or dissolution.

Agree to stand during the playing of the National Anthem.

Agree to promote peaceful protests and strongly disavow any violence at any time, including admitting and promoting ways to stop Black on Black violence.

Your right to boycott playing with demands are no different than my right to boycott going to and watching your sport. A big difference is you are generously paid by us (tickets/ tv broadcast fees) so I don’t care to hear or see your protests on my dollars. Do it on your own time.

I really hope to see you all again sometime, but for now goodbye.[/QUOTE]

NBA + Adults playing a childs game and getting waaaay overpaid in the process. NFL is the same...some children never grow up mentally. These games give them something to do to keep those like them amused.

I will watch enough sports to see who the sponsors are, then strike them from my list of companies I will ever deal with again.

NO PLAY NO PAY... They have all the safety measures in place, ( if they abide by them) lucky them.

Does that include golf, or only sports with many minority athletes?

That's good advice. Will do. Be good witnesses.

The sneaker giants are among the major footwear and clothing companies that have been steadily moving production out of China. The country has turned its focus to more valuable items, such as electronics, leading to rising wages for higher skilled workers —and less business for those in its massive clothing, footwear, and textile industry, as international brands turn to low-wage nations in Southeast Asia such as Vietnam (2019 / $2.60-$3.75/hr). Both migrant and informal workers often face poor working and living conditions, with low and insecure incomes, long working hours and precarious employment. In addition, many migrants and informal workers are not able to access social services such as health care and education. Nike, and others, seem to promote social justice and equality here, but the values they promote here are just a smoke screen to hide who they really are.

That's why we won't watch the NBA, NFL or MLB - they're all overpaid losers.

It amuses me when white people have so much to say about racism NBA walkout and all. A Flipiant post when the actual real facts are there for you to see. White guy shoots people with a high power rifle and gets a high five walking out. Black guy gets shot 7 times in the back for not listening. You don't see something wrong with this picture. I do. Perhaps if white guys like you could be a black guy for a month you might have a different take on life and the NBA. See no matter how much money Lebron James makes he is still black all the time. I feel sad for you that you posted this, read Devil in the Grove or The New Jim Crow and get back to us.

BLM has virtually nothing to do with black people. This organization uses race to help push their agenda. They will use any means that is successful to bring chaos. They are tricking a lot of people. Sports stars that don’t understand and don’t believe in all the mess are made to back down or loose careers or worse. Ask Drew Brees
