What about the Native Americans?
What about the Japanese that were in camps during the war?
Etc. Etc. Etc.

You do it for one group you have to do it for all of them.

The publicity stunt worked. I’d forgotten until now that the WNBA even exists.

Too bad the “W” doesn’t stand for White.

Or is that racist?

So the NBA is dedicating their first week of games to the Marxist Socialist movement that is currently challenging our freedom and way of life in this country. No thank you, I won’t be going to nor watching the NBA games any more.

NBA opening weekend.

An homage to mob violence, the ambush and murder of LEOs, the slaughter of innocent bystanders, the coming triumph of Communism in the West, Chinese Style.

General Tso’s Woke Brigade, tthe NBA.

Count me out.

Cancel me, please.

Why do these SJWs even bother to play at all?
They could be attending a lesbian BLM march.

Another American institution falls, due to the assault from the left. I don’t watch it, and never will.

I’m surprised, one would think it would be dedicated to men, an underrepresented group in the WNBA.

I am sure their five fans will appreciate their effort. And that includes the four people stuck on the channel and who cannot find their remotes.
