Being white, I’m disappointed to see such imbeciles complaining about kneeling, speaking, and creating change. It just shows how divided we are and how racist/selfish people are really out there. Kind of embarrasses me, that most of this hate is coming from fellow white Americans. It’s a disgrace honestly, I hope one day the world can be better.

Past year has showed us millionaire players with protective security, gated communities, snd mansions they live in just manipulated the young IGNORANT my naive young community that will listen to these players who have NO EDUCATION have NEVER struggled. Struggling isn’t struggling as a child struggling is being an adult in the world

This is why Muhammad Ali was the GOAT because he was going to fight for what he believed in and didn’t care about being black balled or whatever 💯

You think players care?? No…they’re doing what they love which is shooting basketballs…Also covid is one of the reasons sport ratings are low…No fans = No excitement….No excitement = No Views….

ESPN I know you have been pressured to fit into the narrative of indoctrination and Victimization, but unlike you and the rest of the cancel culture, I happen to believe in this young generation. Truth is on the rise and they see right through your B.S so you can stop exploiting your athletes!!!

The NBA has changed by literally collapsing their ratings to virtually nothing and letting LeBron James systematically destroy their ratings and viewership with his ignorant comments about drug dealers and violent criminals who get shot by police for doing the wrong thing
Chris
January 18, 2021 at 11:39 pm
Well the good news for the NBA is they have clueless people like yourself, who dislike it, but will still take time from their day to comment on it. The best thing you could do as someone who dislikes the current state of the NBA is stay off of ESPN channels… Yet here you are! Remember there’s no such thing as bad publicity. Lebron James’ legacy is cemented and so is the NBA. Your viewership is not wanted or needed Brandon.
brandon causey
January 18, 2021 at 11:42 pm
@Chris trust me the viewership is needed. Have you seen their ratings? Maybe just like your savior LeBron James you forgot that there’s a little thing called freedom of speech and I’m practicing it right now. LeBron James might have a certain Legacy to you but a very opposite one to others. I probably just spoke truth and it triggered you like it normally does for all of you liberal fruitcakes.

January 18, 2021 at 11:44 pm
Not to mention I used to avidly love watching NBA and I’ve been a Lakers fan since I was a child and as soon as LeBron James went to my team I stopped watching. In case you forgot it’s the fans that literally Drive the game but mostly it’s Chinese money your boy LeBron thinks he’s a humble guy but has no problem that his shoes and clothing are being made by slave labor camps and any time the NBA speaks up about China they get put in their place and lose billions of dollars in a year like they did when they spoke up about Hong Kong

January 18, 2021 at 11:46 pm
@Chris and one more thing it’s funny you call me clueless when I’m the guy actually just spitting out General facts you can find with a simple Google search. The NBA actually relies on ignorant people to watch it and have their critical race Theory shoved down their throats and be told that white people are bad and black people are superior and we should all be ashamed that some stupid girl got shot in the crossfire of her boyfriend shooting at police officers who’s been a career drug dealer and had a dead body found in a rental car first

When you link up with an organization who has a founder saying they are Marxists, sucking up to communist china-nobody with a brain cares. The injustice is how people have been infantilized. NBA done. God can’t stand you.

It might not change right away, but it’s a start.. can’t be afraid to stand up for whatever it is you believe in. I feel it’s great that players are starting to have that voice and not just shut up and play.. we got to stand up together

All sports has lost ratings over the years. The NHL has had tanked ratings to they are close to bankruptcy and they did nothing in regards to politics.
