So BLM brutally beats a 71-year-old man breaking his jaw. All he was trying to do was protect his business. It’s disgusting.

Suddenly now they want to play? Cause of getting not pay or what? I mean there are consequences right? If they really boycott and no more playoff?
Wait, Who?

How does millionaires not playing a game of basketball impact social injustice? I don’t see the connection. Especially considering that what triggered this boycott was a justified shooting.

Delusions of grandeur much?
Overpaid, college exam cheats, stealing headlines. Being in this bubble must really be having an effect on their sensitive egos. No throngs of adoring fans this year…aww..

you notice that only the players that makes 10mil per year and up do the talking. all other lower salaries can’t afford to boycott. they need to make a living. same goes to the workers at the stadiums. they need to work to make a living.

Steven A., I used to love listening to you rant about the Dallas Cowboys. Loved the stories about your father. Now I can’t stand the sound of your voice. Do any of you get the facts b4 you shoot your mouths off and prompt people to do things they wouldn’t normally do. My family is a big football family. My son is a huge Jets fan since he’s 3 years old. I’ve been a Bills fan since the Jim Kelly days. No one will be watching this fall because of ESPN and sports fools who think we need to know their political views.

I love how Rachel Nichols claims “The NBA is a private business” yet they ask for public funding from taxpayers. If they are a private business, shouldn’t the owners have to pay for their arenas?

How about instead of “boycotting” these games, the players decide on charities or organizations, then donate their playoff salaries (or bonuses, etc, however their contracts are set up)? Or is it just easier to call for change, then do nothing to help?

Didn’t you said that you were disappointed on Kyrie and Kaepernick? Clout chaser. We are the ones who said you lost all credibility and disappointed at you. You go with what’s trending and based your opinion of that.

Why doesn’t SAS also protest and not show up to work??????
