Great!

Not interested in watching a bunch of whiny multi-millionaires playing a kids’ game.

I guess all of the black players are receiving only ‘slave wages.’ which traditionally meant, NO pay.

I hope the “oppressed” SJWs are reading these threads.

Ya' mean no Buckwheat Ball? Really? I'm convinced that if these thugs had to work, they'd for the most part be in prison.

Thumb nail behind front incisor tooth. Move forward to scrape back off tooth. That is about as much as I care about this specifically and the BLM IN general.

Awesome. Nobody wants to watch anti-American Marxists, except themselves.

My sympathies.That is a sacrifice. On all the web sport pages that is all that is discussed.

Yep, it has been a chore to listen and I'm ending it soon. And it is unreal how the talk of this issue is all that is discussed on most sports outlets.

I'll also be interested in how things go with Brady in Tampa, and also what impact all the protests will have on the NFL's fan support. Those are about my only interests in the coming season, if it comes about.

I sure hope these brave souls have acquired some skills other than bouncing a ball and pushing it through a hoop ‘cos they’re gonna need it.

- skills like: scanning and bagging groceries, holding signs while wearing a shiny yellow vest, the ability to say “welcome to Walmart!”, etc....

These dolts don’t think this far in the future, they just act on their impulses.

Perhaps they can learn how to play hockey in their year off and try out for the NHL. I hear they’re on a diversity kick. So is the US synchronized swimming team but I don’t think they pay much as no one in the history of this country has ever watched them except for their parents.

I would love to see a team like the Knicks fold.

As if further evidence was required to reveal the true ignorance / stupidity of the average NBA player.

Seems they’re okay with blacks in sports though.

“...pimples on the ass of time.”

We all are eventually. Some are bigger pimples and last longer but I don’t know the name of any individual who lived twenty thousand years ago and that is not even long enough for father time to blink an eye.

Been a Celtics fan for 50 years and share your views on Kyrie. Was looking forward to the resumption of the season and the playoffs, now I almost don’t care anymore.

Had hoped Kemba would finally be healthy after missing the most games since 2015 as a Charlotte Hornet.

Maybe Kyrie can join his former teammate, LeBron’s voting rights project.

At this point, I sincerely hope these ungrateful NBA players don’t make another dime on American soil!!
