Reasonable response to the deaths of millions. Nice!
@ShamsCharania: Sources: The Lakers and Clippers have voted to boycott the NBA season. Most other teams voted to continue. LeBron James has exited the meeting.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
In other words, All Lives Matter?It's become almost impossible to tell actual people on the right from the bots, since they're all so on message.
but because you don't give a single sh-- about black people in America. You raise it for the sole purpose of trying to make deligitimate the righteous stance of the players and other people of color in this country.
If you read enough, I think you can clearly see I'm not on the right.
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. I am not certain of that. I am not certain of much right now. As I sit here this minute, that's my opinion ... but current events, insights of others and further reflection on my part could make me change my opinion.What I am certain of is this: When the knee-jerk reaction by some is to blast pro athletes for caring deeply and for trying to use their voices to make the world a better place for all of us, it's very sad.Strange times. Sad times.
Next time one of these faux SJW’s falls into trouble with the law
They should replace the national anthem. Don't play the song, don't stand in a line. That nationalism part of sports has always been cringey to me, and this is a good time to replace it with a meaningful message. Every game.

He didn't write the article though.
