Again, the problem is that this message isn't targeting the right people. Can we talk about this logically for a second? Let's say some of these terrible shootings were done by people who were major sports fans, nba fans, nfl fans, whatever. If someone is at the point in life that they are deliberately profiling black people and shooting them without cause, do you seriously, for one second, think that a sports boycott will stop them? Please, for the love of Christ our Lord, give me an explanation!
Raising awareness and attention is the purpose. For that they are absolutely doing so at the moment and other leagues are following suit bc of it
Yeah, that I'm furious about today, that I think police brutality sucks, that I think they are targeting the wrong people, that this is well-intentioned but poorly executed, that this won't change things, that sometime I wish I could just watch a ****ing game without being dragged into a different topic. You know, those shitty, white devil, cracker-ass "people like me." We all knew what you meant.
Let's continue to do that but not actually do anything real about the issue then. Cancer awareness where you at? Oh yeah, we still have cancer.
we saw protests all over the world for george floyd. all black people are asking is to be treated like everyone else. conservatives say NO. this will lead to violence. if you aren't a racist the request is not unreasonable. I am not calling for violence. again, conservatives are forcing peoples hand because they do not want to acknowledge systematic racism. if this continues to happen you are going to see more incidents like the one in Dallas, I can promise you that. the people are going to take matters into their own hands when their pleas are ignored.
Cancer and Social justice/police brutality boy what a correlation you thought up there. Definitely related. This dude Really just brought up cancer. Just wow
Look man, if someone isn't "aware" of social justice/police brutality at this point, either they're homeless or they don't own a TV, phone, computer, no internet, can't read, can't hear, can't see, can't walk, talk, or are dead. But I apologize for my non-sequitur correlation. Whenever someone clamors for "awareness", the abstract nature of that demand pretty much ensures there isn't a defined goal.
Hmmm, so me talking about people who want to ignore what the players are fighting for, crying because their boycott has them uncomfortable and upset, and talking about how they’re now done with the league is now me talking about white devils and all that other idiotic nonsense u just posted? And u have the nerve to say I’m the one who’s assuming things? Please stfu...
I think they will cancel the season. Honestly, they come off as hypocritical if they don’t. Well they already are (the whole China thing). I guess we’ll see.
Well, we finally found a political topic that is fully reasonable to discuss in the GARM. What a year.
I've read this paragraph at least 10 times. Well thought out and in a way that hits home. I'm stepping back for a bit to think about this. I mean really think about it. Bravo.
I'm just going to say. Based on footage. Mistakes were made. The lead officer should of holstered his weapon & swept his leg. Grabbed him by the neck & floored the man. But bringing up his children being present? Is what? An attempt to pull heart strings? The guy was reaching into an unknown space. Ignoring orders. What does that have to do with the race of parties involved. My point. Is simply. Follow orders. Don't disrespect the police. Regardless of race.
You only know cancer isn’t cured because of cancer awareness you dunce. if someone had to explain to you how awareness leads to funding, then you’re hopeless.
