Just get ready...the college kids will be desperate to copy cat.
While we roll our eyes at the NBA "boycott" tonight...

Can you imagine if all this was over a lie? A lie that can be proven wrong by pulling up the full videos that we all have at our fingertips?
Yet another reason the NHL Playoffs are a million times better.
No one is interested in facts. Just trendy narratives
Just heard the Hawks have decided to boycott the rest of the season.
Probably right. Now is a time to take action, stand up, fight the fight....then a few weeks later make sure you had all the facts and a rationale approach with a plan and clear goal in mind.
Thankfully most of any type of movement hasn’t caught on yet. I doubt it does this time as well. They want to play.
Trendy narratives that are destroying the very communities they’re supposedly supporting. It’s one of the saddest most disturbing things I’ve ever seen.
What I can’t grasp is the fact that just because you boycott a game, it isn’t going to prevent another incident. The investigation can’t be expedited and facts overlooked because athletes demand justice. People were ready to hang those cops the minute, no the second they read the headline. There is and always will be bad people in this world. Was this cop one of them? I don’t think so. From what I read and saw they tried tasing, tried wrestling him, he didn’t comply and it appeared he had a knife in his hand in one of the videos that I watched. No amount of protesting or boycotting will end evil and sin. We are quick to join the social justice movement but have incidents from those same players that cry wolf (Harrell/Luka). No mention from the media or the athletes of all the young African Americans killed on a daily basis. Whites are killed at a higher rate than African Americans by cops but the media lets that fly by. People want justice at the polls but under Obama/Biden there were MORE cop killings than under Trump. Not to mention the unemployment rate was significantly higher under the prior administration. You can’t label all cops or all whites by the actions of a few. Just like you can’t for other races. Largely, the world is full of kind, loving people. There are plenty that make it feel quite the opposite. The issues we face have been heightened infinitely by social media and the lack of bipartisanship in America. I wish we could all be on the same page and return to normal.
I'm sure somewhere in America, a rotten racist cop is sitting on his couch thinking "man, if these guys aren't willing to play basketball because i hate black folks, maybe it's time for me to rethink my life. "
It's grandstanding.... pure and simple.
It's grandstanding.... pure and simple.
Agreed. But who rules social media, news media and academia? Not people who care about this country
Despicable people who are cheering on the destruction of community they claim to care more about that anything.
I can’t put into words how upset all this gets me. People are dying because of their lies and they love it.
Maybe they just don't have playing basketball on their mind. Some things are just more important than Sports.
They need me more than I need them. I’ll have a lot more money if they push me away. So, I could care less. Muschamp sux anyway.
BLM was founded on lies and doubled down on those fabrications.
Yea, except none of them are offering to return their pay, or donate those 8 figure contracts to the cause.
and not too many of them seem to care about the Uigars or folks in Hong Kong. Or hell, even the 50 or so killed every “normal” weekend in Chicago...
Poor things. Boycotting and crying when they don’t even know half the story. Hope they enjoy boycotting in their guarded mansions. Couldn’t care less about the NBA. Wish they would disband the entire league.
you get no social media likes for any of that stuff
The WNBA going on strike tonight has unquestionably impacted my family and I won’t stand for it.
Oh crap!! WNBA too??? Life just isn’t worth living anymore....
These are the times that try men’s* souls.
*- or whatever your pronoun of choice is
Shocker shocker... of course they boycott and protest before knowing the FACTS...

Yeah because a knife wins in a gun fight vs 4 or 5 police officers . how dumb are u ?!
So to u that justifies the man getting shot 7 times in the back ? I’m just asking
Are you really that dense? I was a police officer so let me educate you since it seems you just don’t get it. If someone has a knife it takes less than a second for them to grab it and the officer not even notice and then get stabbed (bullet proof vests don’t stop knives, just FYI). You can actually attack someone at lot faster with a knife than a gun. Please do your research and use your brain before posting.
Just let them try......biting the hand that feeds you.
How dumb are u sir u do ur research PLEASE or actually watch the video maybe lol... the cop walked behind him with some distance... the man nvr made it to the car rlly or turned around nvr made a sudden move to seam as a threat . And u acting like he was alone he had 3 or 4 officers right there with him
