NBA Agent Says BLM Was ‘Horrible’ For League
Game 7 ^ | October 21, 2020 | Anthony Amador

The NBA season has come and gone, but certain decisions from this past year are continuing to be relitigated in league circles. This past week, one agent came out of the woodwork and publicly blasted all parties involved for the social justice messaging that took place over the past few months.

This past week, The Athletic published results from a survey it conducted with 20 agents around the NBA. While they discussed a number of topics, what stood out most was one anonymous agent’s rant about the impact of Black Lives Matter (BLM) messaging on the league as a whole.

“They initially did a great job by putting the bubble together and they completely s*** the bed with all this nonsense,” he said.

The $$$$ were baked in for this year. Let’s see about next season. Most of these maroons will be broke within 5 years of their careers ending.

Why? It’s helping them to move to their preferred market of China. Big upside.

I love articles like this because they reinforce my belief that the majority of Americans still believe in America and have traditional values. The damage done to sports by leftwing activists will reverberate for decades.

Yup. I was really into the OKC Thunder. I enjoyed league stats at NNA.com. Purchased tickets for games made sure I had ESPN, TNT, Fox Sports. Today I have no subscriptions included any NBA or NFL. I could give a shiite. Same goes for OU football and I hadn’t missed a game for years. But they all went “woke” so f them go broke.

Unfortunately, you screwed up.

Most Christians know and understand that when you have the truth, and you intentionally set it aside for whatever reason, and you learn the error of your way(s) later .... your house is seven times dirtier.


Matthew 12When the spirit returned, it found the house not only clean and orderly but empty. “ ‘Then [the evil spirit] goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. . . . That man is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.’ ”

At some point, I have to think that even the Chinese will be bored with the BLM social justice stuff, that confers victimhood on all of the African American NBA players, earning fat salaries.

Here’s hoping the WNBA gets higher ratings than the NBA next year. About a .01 share total — hey the player’s families will feel compelled to watch so it won’t be a zero!

Hey dummy, you miss all that money yet? Fans hate that shit so go ahead and keep crapping in your own hat. Fine with me, I’ll NEVER watch another NBA game.

Elites completely out of touch.

Live in a little Elite bubble, only read the New York Times, and maybe the Washington Post, and hire Diversity Consultants who feed them cr@p.

The average Chinese viewer is probably seeing an edited version of the games . . . with blacked out jersey names and courts.
