Players, coaches kneel before NBA's re-opening night

Black players were next to white players. Coaches from one team were next to their compatriots from the opposing side. Many locked arms with the man next to them, some shut their eyes tightly, a few including LeBron James briefly raising a fist into the air or pointing skyward.

The NBA had a strong, powerful re-opening night message.

When it comes to demanding change, the league stands united — and Thursday, the four teams that played on the first night of the league's restart showed that by not standing.

Worth 450 million, and yet borderline retarded.
What a racist country...

“The NBA had a strong, powerful re-opening night message.”

“Look at us. We’re rich, but we’re still idiots!”

I’m looking forward to the day when only blacks attend professional basketball games. Of course, the stands will be quite empty unless they lower the ticket prices to maybe $10-$20 because folks on welfare probably won’t be able to afford much more than that.

Then I guess the contracts will be like a couple thousand bucks a year since there won’t be any income from tickets, and I can’t see advertisers advertising, unless they do it as P.S.A.’s.

Whites, who are generally the money earners and big spenders will pretty soon just say “enough!” Even liberals are getting beat up these days for being white.

I did and will turn off any game when the athletes kneel during the anthem. These men are paid to play a game for entertainment, not to politic. I am not interested in their political views. I go to and watch sporting events to be entertained. When these clowns pull this, I am not going to take part.

Yeah.....I don’t know. I am leaning towards BLM and their ilk not being smart enough to see their consequences due to the sheer weight of their hatred. So they are acting outside of reason when they should know full well they will be serving the hispanic communities before very long, which will push them further down the rungs of society— while maintaining their self-destructive culture.

Not a good outlook at all.
