Great news out of the NBA
 
Their walk out is over so presumably racism has been solve and a thing of the past!!! I guess when you’re willing to sacrifice so much by sitting out for a whole day anything is possible.

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

I agree, can't put their money where their mouths are. Plus they may have finally realized that their "victims" were 2 convicted criminals and 2 suspected criminals.

They were looking for a practical solution and got the ownership to agree to use the arenas for voting.

Who cares if they came back? Let them go out and save some other part of the worlds problems.

Stu from NYC 08-29-2020 10:49 AM

Or let them picket for kids to stay and finish school.

Or get married and raise children in two parent households,

Those are protests we would agree with

It's over, really? Wow, how convenient. I suppose I can go on with my life knowing that the NBA (Nike Basketball Association) walkout is over. Whoooopee!!!!

Mardarlowe 08-30-2020 05:45 AM

I remember the NBA. Didn't realize it still exists

joeharing 08-30-2020 05:47 AM

I couldn't care less than I care right now , because I really don't care about caring for the NBA.

DrivnEZ 08-30-2020 06:13 AM

Sports broadcasts?
I couldn’t care less.

JGVillages 08-30-2020 06:27 AM

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.
