How is life back there in the 1950s?
Next time one of these faux SJW’s falls into trouble with the law, which is inevitable, I hope public opinion is as swift, harsh, and lacking in consideration to judge their situation as they’ve shown in the Kenosha case before anywhere close to all the facts and sides are known.
Only in the fairy tale land of professional sports can you walk away from a contractual obligation with the comfort in knowing your millions will continue to roll in uninterrupted. What a great deal- virtue signal to the world, sit on your ass, and rake in more millions. Fabulous
When LeBron James is captured on video shooting an unarmed man seven times in the back, I'll be sure to demand his arrest.(Though obviously I won't need to,)
Doesn’t sound like things went great at this meeting tonight, majority not on the same page. They should have waited until tomorrow morning to discuss things, too much emotion now.
I'll say this one more time... Where was all the outrage from people like LeBron when they were playing in China amid internment camps, racial genocide, and organ harvesting. Surely the systematic killing of an entire race is a big issue?
I agree with you.Neither of us is Black, and neither of us is an NBA player, so we can only try to walk in another man's shoes and try our best to empathize with these fellow fathers, fellow brothers, fellow sons, fellow human beings. But I just can't shake the feeling that athletes would be able to help their cause more by continuing to compete on the courts and fields, and using their tremendous platform before, during and after games.
Because if one doesn't protest every injustice, their voice should be discredited when they pick one injustice?
You make it sound like the chinese genocide is like someone j walking.... My real point is, when China made it clear they would pull funding and the players would lose money, they really did "shut up and dribble"
I know what your point is and its silly. Just a way to discredit what they are doing now.
Just pointing out the hypocrisy of it people like LeBron. I don't give a single crap about the NBA. I never have. I just found it funny when there is money on the line this hero disappears.
That's not hypocrisy. It's inconsistency. So I guess it's better for athletes to say nothing at all because if they don't support every outrage, they don't deserve support for any that they choose to support.
Every outrage? My man let's say there were 15 unarmed black people shot by police in the last month. That number would take 100 years to even make a small dent in the amount of people dying at the camps in China in a week.We know this is the worst genocide since the halocaust and the NBA and its players are perfectly okay with playing games in that country, as well as actively helping silence protests from it via fans. And then you go and say they can't support every outrage. God damn...
Yep. Just as I suspected. You've found a way to diminish what they are doing. So sad.
Reasonable response to the deaths of millions. Nice!
Yes. You have a long and proud history of showing concerns about this topic previously. It's literally be <checks watch> HOURS that you have brought this up because have such concern. I'm sure you aren't using this as a reason to diminish what the NBA players are doing.

If you checked back through this NBA thread, I believe I did post about it when it was ongoing. But k.
