NBA legend Oscar Robertson has one question as he looks out at the recent collision of politics and sports: “Where are the white players?” Robertson, “The Big O,” was honored with the league’s lifetime achievement award at the NBA Awards banquet Monday night in California. During his remarks on stage, he spoke about the need to “be persistent, or as I’ve been called, stubborn. Stubborn about what you believe in.”

Ummm, Big O, you mean all the white basketball players?
Both of them?
Oscar, why do you apparently expect white players to be making political statements?
Where were you, Oscar, in your day?
Well, for one, we know they’re not napping in Janoris Jenkins’ basement!
The Democratic Plantation only captures black athletes for victim hood ... the Progressive overseers are white.
“But the only thing that really bothers me is, where are the white athletes when this is happening? This is not a black athlete problem. You see injustice in the world. It’s all around you. Just because LeBron steps out, I’m glad he does. I hope some other players — because this is what they believe — I mean, what do you want players to do? Shut up and dribble? I think it’s time for them to say what they want to say about life and about politics and things about the street and whatnot.
“And about education. There are a lot of players donating money back into different colleges. But it seems that what we have today is a system where you don’t want players to say anything at all.”
No we don't want you to shut up and dribble. We want you to work with the community and the cops and start behaving like humans. Your race is the highest that is incarcerated. Highest in illiteracy! Highest in abandoned children! Please Bill, tell me what "whitie " could ever do or say to turn your race around? All you want are more communists to piss on the flag and hate Trump. Didn't notice you saying a damn thing when the same crap was going on with Obama as President!
A very smart attitude IMO.
They are at Trump rallies!
The cupcakes are hiding in their lockers.
Earning their salaries playing ball, you racist idiot.
This is part of the reason I enjoy watching hockey.
Somebody should ask him why he didn’t speak out for Kevin McHale who recently received grief for just attending a Trump rally.
Somebody should ask him why he doesn’t have the courage to break free from the Democrat plantation.
They say people who watch hockey and baseball are complicit in “racial injustice”.
Hockey and baseball will be criticized soon.
I love the sport of Hockey but I also admire the class act of most of the players in everything they do OFF the ice. They are a different breed who keep things on the ice and quietly do good things off the ice.
I hate generalizations, but I’m going to make one anyway: Athletes are stupid.
Now you can dispute what I’ve said, but you will also have to dispute Euripides who said the same thing 2,500 years ago.
You mean he pays attention to / notices people's skin color? How racist of him!
What I'd like to know is:
Where are all the factory workers, cabbies, housepainters, etc. in today's politics?
Regards,
The NFL has few problems that some “bleaching” couldn’t solve.
The only reason I follow that mess is out of loyalty to Gronk, Edelman, and the remaining handful of white players.
But Joe Thomas has retired. Ditto for Jason Witten. Jordy Nelson is with the Raiders and probably playing his last season. The outlook is grim.
Frankly, I’ve had it with coddling minorities across the board. Call me a racist if you want. I don’t care.
