NonDawg Who’s boycotting the NBA?

Hand raised. Won’t ever watch another game in my life. We need to hit these people in the pocket book to get them to start acting rationally. The idea that police are killing poc due to racism is completely false.
No nba since Travon martin case and Lebron escorted his team out on the court with hoodies. I see he’s still at it everytime regarding cops and a black and he jumps the gun b4 getting the facts. Hey I’m not here to say there hasn’t been incidences of police in the wrong, but the majority of these high profile case have a common thread almost to a Trea past or present criminal, breaking the law, wanted by the law, resisting arrest, and or running from arrest. Many times, during the arrest the arrestee has a weapon and or is fighting the cop or trying to escape. How many of the blacks killed are killed obeyIng the cops. Stop resisting and hav ur day in court. A cop should put his life in harms way to a criminal or someone resisting arrest...not for 1 second
 
Racism is the root of all the problems ur just to blind to see it ... black people have been oppressed for 400 years. You act like they weren’t slaves at one point. POC fought for this country’s freedom but weren’t even free in their own country. You act like that was a long time ago and it wasn’t. They are still living people from the Jim Crow laws days stop being blind to the problem
Wrong. The love of money is the root of all the problems. You're just repeating emotional talking points, not bringing any data. Serious question... would facts change your mind if they did not align with your current beliefs?
 
It's not at all false, racism without doubt plays a major role in many of these shootings.
It doesn't have to be a completely conscious choice. A cop can just be more likely to react more violently when dealing with a black man, which may well have been what happened in Kenosha.
Oh so now it’s not systemic racism it’s just subconscious! The truth is Dems just make up words like this! Same with global warming which was a lie again so they changed it to “climate change”

They're throwing anything and everything against the wall at this point hoping something will stick.
 
There is actually objective evidence of this - google can you be racist to a white person. Google will bring up several articles saying you can’t because white people have all the power. It’s insane.

If you use DuckDuckGo as your search engine and compare to google you realize how bias the google results are.

White peoples are powerful and obviously got a head start on poc and black people 400 years ago stop acting like that doesn’t matter.. plz look up the definition of racism ... poc have nvr feel they were “more superior “ that’s only been white people from back in the day saying others are second class citizens

You make the most insane arguments with dramatic over-generalizations. You should spend a little more time seeking unbiased information on the subjects that you continue to spew the same tired rhetoric and ignorance about. Get out of the liberal media echo chamber. The truth is out there. You just have to be willing to see it and believe, which it doesn’t appear you are.
 
Again, tell me how this country today is racist? Please enlighten me. The civil rights act makes it illegal to discriminate against people of color. Affirmative action actually makes it easier to get into school and get a job. Explain why Nigerian immigrants have high family incomes and why Indians do too. Please enlighten me instead of merely continuing to claim that it exist and is the reason for poc problems. Show me police statistics that poc are being killed at a higher rate by white police.
Please refute Mr. Elders arguments :

The maddening thing is that the victims of police walkouts / defunding are predominately black. Rich people are not impacted to near the degree as minorities and the poor. The media makes it sound like all cops are white also. Major cities have plenty of black cops. In Atlanta, the majority of cops are black.

how is that a lie? Lmao u tryna defend that America was not racist less than 100 years ago is blasphemy and asinine
 
Boycotting for over two decades now. haven't watched or gone to a game since Pistol Pete played

that would be 4 decades

you missed some really good years actually. Maybe you saw this in Pistol Pete’s last couple seasons, but they added a 3 point shot that’s quite exciting.
 
Not so much boycotting it as I just lost interest in the game as the quality of it went to crap after the Bird/Magic era teams and then after the Jordan Bulls it became unwatchable.

The One and Done's pretty much destroyed the quality of both college and pro basketball. The best athletes are a revolving door that are in school for one semester and don't develop any team chemistry. Then they go to the NBA and are raw and undeveloped and screw that game up.

the Kobe + Shaq Lakers in the early 2000s were pretty fun too

I’d say the GSW were pretty interesting to watch recently too, esp with the surprise of the Raptors last year against them

I wouldn't say they aren't entertaining. I just don't care for the current state of the game in general. It's a lot of three jacking and not a lot of defense. If you like raining threes, and a lot of folks do, then OK. I do like the faster pace of the modern game but for me, I think the end came when the NBA killed hand-checking above the three point line, took away the physicality of the game and turned it into a perimeter shooting contest. A lot of people like it, it's just not my cup of tea.

I don't even want to get into this era of Super Team building where two or three elite guys decide to play together to win titles. It's anti-competitive and you basically know who the finalists will be before the season begins barring injury.

there's super team building but then Kawhi was able to beat that with that Raptors last year, it was quite a good storyline!

Well, from how little people in this thread have watched the NBA the past few years, it sounds like there won't be any impact as you already weren't watching

Are you aware that slavery knows no (race) bounds? What if I told you as many white slaves existed in Northern Africa as black slaves in America? And... those slaves were treated even worse?
Does slavery still exist? Where? By whom?

I could be wrong but I think the injuries were what really defeated GS last year more than the Raptors. Just my opinion.

Northern Africans, Arabs and Persians are often considered 'white'

Yeah but that probably doesn't happen if Durant isn't injured. GSW was a really banged up team going into the finals and that leveled the playing field for Toronto.

you sure do know a lot about the NBA for someone who doesn't watch!

Honestly my bigger problem is the playoffs are too big. The fact 16 teams make the postseason after an 82 game season and then they're 7 game series all the way through. Too much!

I like baseball's format more, although the game has its problems these days.
 
Ur a joke
Again, you have nothing of substance to stand on so you resort to this.
I know it can be tough learning facts that go against what we think we know. It happens to everyone at some point, myself included.
Don't let the joke be on you. The truth doesn't care about our feelings or whether we accept it or not. It's still the truth.

This is how to handle someone who is pushing a narrative. GADAWGinIraq has put his life on the line for this country. He knows. We are all Americans. Let's agree we have problems, but race being the root of all evil or the thought that black americans have to live in fear of white police officers is not helping anyone or anything. We need stronger families for our children. This is especially true for POC.

Agreed... except I was just supporting our real heroes in Iraq. I was a contractor for 5.5 years. We need a message of unity right now but I'm afraid the MSM doesn't want that.

America is/was racist — over generalization. Has racism existed? Yes. Unfortunately, it always will. Is America a racist nation? Not even close. Does the left want you to believe that? ABSOLUTELY.

POC fought for this country’s freedom but weren’t even free in their own country. You act like that was a long time ago and it wasn’t.

Racism is the root of all the problems — absurd comment

Black people have been oppressed for over 400 years — again absurd, dramatic liberal media rhetoric. Try googling “civil rights laws” and “affirmative action”. This is such a misguided and completely false narrative.

You act like this was a long time ago (assuming the 400 years remark) and it wasn’t — 400 years ago was indeed a long time ago.

I’m not sure why I’m even wasting my time with a liberal keyboard warrior. I may as well try and educate a doorknob.

You are literally too dumb to argue with. Good luck with your silly hatred of white people. You're simply furthering the racism by willfully choosing to be ignorant.
