    No. My point is that you are trying to undermine the movement by bringing up non relevant, unrelated topics into the discussion. You're the person that screams 'All Lives Matter' when the focus is on the issue here in the United States with AMERICANS of Color. To be specific, black men and women of color. Not this **** going on in Hong Kong. Your like the kid that has to pooh on the floor just to get attention because your siblings have your parent's attention. So in essence...you are racist.

    You think you’re the only one? Lol.

    As the saying goes “if some one is an *******, they’re an *******. When everyone is an *******, you’re the *******.

    All you do is roam the site starting conflict and you’re incredibly hard headed when it comes to any other opinions even when those people share the same broad view as you. It’s tiresome and I can’t be the only one who thinks that.

    you obviously weren't, otherwise you wouldn't be like oh they're going to play tomorrow. a simple what makes you say that works. instead of doubtful with 0 research done :rolleyes:

    quit being a crybaby. if I was such a problem, I still wouldn't be around. i couldn't careless if you're not the only one. I engage with more than enough of the better posters on this board.

    Do you know what the word "compartmentalize" means?

    Seems to me that the fans who really support this movement would also support this action, even if it means no more playoffs.

    I support my city and my sports teams more than the agenda. You can cash me out on that.

    Sure, and I do it too. But this is an issue that matters deeply to many of them and they don't want their sports to be used as an escape from thinking about it.

    $10 says Giannis plows into the camera and the ref gives him FTs.

    And again, what is this accomplishing exactly?

    BLM is as big as it has ever been. You can still play NBA, MLB, and NFL games.

    Correct my opinion is that they won’t cancel the season and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them resume playing tomorrow.

    That happiness we get from blocking out the world and cheering for something uncomplicated is awesome, but it is also a luxury. The world is in an unfamiliar state, and what we're seeing is the players feeling like maybe luxuries aren't as important now.

    You're right. This needs to permeate everyone's brains 24 hours per day.

    **** my job too right? I shouldn't use that as an escape.

    Sad to be without bball again, but proud of the players for taking a stand and putting their money where their mouth is... No doubt a good chunk of the people who watch these games (or at least those who used to) are the same racist f*cks who got us here.

    players have done the Twitter hashtags and IG posts...they’ve made statements

    Kapernick did something so harmless such as kneeling during anthem...people wanted to act like he was committing the gravest of sins

    the actions taken will only continue to escalate

    to the fans talking about “I’m done” or “this will alienate me”...bye, good riddance

    people just want the players to stick to Twitter posts that can be easily ignored...as long as they do that, there’s no issue...Guess what? They no longer care about making u comfortable or entertaining u so that u can “escape”...this is real life for them
