    Did read the thread but I'm glad Westbrook gets more days to heal his quads

    70% was not about Politics and republicans where no even mentioned it was about Trump and his divisiveness and it was more like 20% spent on him.

    It's amazing that's what you got from what he said.

    Bucks said they want the Wisconsin legislators who have been on an extended recess to reconvene. That seems like a reasonable request to me.

    It’s basically the same. Listen to the arguments. Be open to counter arguments. List points where you agree. Work from where you agree to a solution.

    There actually are a lot of points where the left and right agree. I don’t know any conservatives that support police unions protecting cops, or that don’t believe we need major reform in policing, both in the laws themselves and the way we select and train officers. Start there.

    Good to see NBA players taking a stand for what they believe in. I'm 100% sure they are denying their paychecks and saying no justice no pay! Good on them!

    We do know that he was armed with a knife and he was reaching into his vehicle after repeated pleas to yield. These are not the actions of good people, I could care **** all if he's white, black, brown, or whatever.

    Just take a trip to the D&D and you will see why this is bunk.

    You can see plenty of conservatives who support police unions protecting cops there are people claiming it was Floyd fault or saying Blake only has himself to blame.

    The fact you actually think Conservatives believe police need major reforms shows me you are way out of touch and don't really know what people are saying.

    Has police reform been mentioned once during the RNC?

    We can't start there because conservatives don't believe police need major reforming.

    Lol random dude comes on here acting like he pours thousands into the team and knows all these ex players. *fake news alert*

    Any person that is deeply connected to a team and players would not question this whatsoever

    I was so glad to hear that. These players are much smarter than people give them credit for. It’s a real request that is achievable and right now every billionaire owner of a NBA team is dialing up the Wisconsin Governor and every other prominent politician that can force that to happen.

    Wouldn’t be shocked if Tillman and his boy Trump have already face-timed with pleasantries as good friends do.

    you shouldnt need to negotiate to stop treating black people like ****. any decent human being should be able to do this.

    if you think there is nothing wrong with the current system, don't get mad when someone believes you to be a racist. this country is so racist most of the black people with any kind of power only got it through sports and entertainment. I wish we did not have to put so much pressure on our athletes to act but this is where we are. Dont blame the players, those in power who still refuse to act because the majority of white people do not want anything to change, have forced their hand.
