Maybe all these moruns, including the guy wearing the skull cap and telling us that ALL atheists, non-believers, etc., will ALL go to heaven!! Dear popie, WRONG! Go read that Bible that you apparently haven’t been reading pal. As for the millionaires who complain about social justice while collecting their millions for bouncing a ball on a wood floor and tossing it through an iron ring, should just shut the hell up. Like the idiots in Boston who gave $195 million for five years to some 24 year old and made him an instant multi-millionaire to complain about how blacks are mistreated by white owners. Just another one I will not watch. I DON’T watch the NBA, NFL, MLB, or any of those whining millionaires anymore. I REFUSE to add to their pockets while they whine about SOCIAL INJUSTICE. If they are SO WORRIED, then give 75% of those millions to all those poor, broke, illegals pouring over the border and quit complaining about being a 160 year distant relative of “maybe”, “might have been”, of a former slave. Knock the republican party who FREED those slaves, who LBJ had to go to to get his Civil Rights bill and Voting Rights Acts PASSED BECAUSE YOUR BELOVED DIMOCRATS would not vote those in!!! Yeah, keep being the victims millionaires.

Under certain very specific circumstances, the Pope is unfoulable.

I believe that Francis was put in place to facilitate the ‘World’s Great Reset’. ‘Leaders’ all over the world have been moving into powerful positions to complete the UN’s Build Back Better plan.

You didn’t really think that Biden though up ‘Build Back Better’ all by himself, did you?

NBA’s Proposals Are Bold But Necessary
Five NBA players traveled to the Vatican to meet with Pope Francis on Monday.
In what is being described by many as an “unprecedented” gathering, Kyle Korver, Jonathan Isaac, Marco Belinelli, Sterling Brown and Anthony Tolliver had a private audience with Pope Francis to discuss their work on social justice issues.

Michele Roberts, executive director of the players’ union, also joined the players in attendance.

The meeting between Pope Francis and the players came about after the Pope’s assistant reached out to the NBA in hopes of learning about the league’s efforts to promote social change. He also wanted to know more about what they planned to do in the future.

Although the league is set to open training camp on December 1, the opportunity was one it felt could not be passed up. As a result, a quick trip was planned.

The get-together was scheduled for one hour at the papal library of the Apostolic Palace. Once it concluded all players and personnel involved toured St. Peter’s Square.

Although some may be surprised by the player representatives involved in this process there is actually a reason for these picks.

Brown and Korver were both members of a Milwaukee Bucks group that decided to sit out a playoff game against the Orlando Magic following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old black man, in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Their player-inspired boycott led to many similar actions across sports, and temporarily put the entire NBA season in doubt. When the boycott initially happened, the Bucks were unsure of whether anyone would follow their lead and operated under the assumption that they would simply forfeit their postseason showdown against the Orlando Magic.

Brown was also the victim of a high-profile case of police brutality. Back in 2018, eight Milwaukee police officers surrounded him outside a Walgreens to investigate a possible parking violation.

One ordered the NBA player to the ground and another used a Taser on him. In early November, Brown settled a civil rights lawsuit he filed against the city of Milwaukee and its police department after they agreed to a $750,000 payment.

Isaac, meanwhile, is an ordained minister and deeply religious. Toliver is the union’s secretary-treasurer.

All in all, it will be interesting to see if this meeting leads to the Pope somehow attempting to shine a bigger light on the issues near and dear to the heart of NBA players.

Will our Pope meet with middle class rural American families to discuss economic policy?

The oppressed people forced to play basketball for ridiculous salaries looking for social justice relief from the Pope.

Only in 2020.

Before talking about social justice they must learn what justice is, and then explain what social justice is.
