In a new article for The Atlantic former ESPN host Jemele Hill argues that Black players should leverage their talent to promote change at every possible opportunity.
Posting her piece on Twitter, Hill posted the question Why should a country that doesnt value black lives get to be entertained by black athletes?
Hills question garnered a variety of answers.
One Twitter user replied Because by doing so they lose their platform
Another replied Hopefully the rapid decline of interests continues. Reality, fans are walking away from a game, life long passion they used to support. Get woke.
Another wrote They should totally cancel the season. Otherwise this is just a rain delay and no one will care. Cmon NBA, cancel the season!

Because they get paid HUGE $$$$????
IDGAF if they ever play again. Professional sports are dead to me.
I agree with the Racist.
Dont watch WOKE professional sports.
Let’s include black entertainers as well. Only seems fair.
What good is any professional player of any color, most are over paid Primadonnas. Beyond college...get a real job!
Black thugs who hate America don’t entertain me. They never have.
Let them all retreat into private oblivion back on the streets where they started.
Fine.
Put them all out of work.
Why are blacks who don’t value whites lives willing to take money from white in the form of pay?
Exactly. We do not need to PAY for you losers to entertain us, we do not need, or want, anything from you.
You all can entertain yourselves.
If we could only get the rappers to follow suit.
I used to be entertained by the likes of Walter Payton, Jimmy Brown, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Wilt Chamberlain, Hank Aaron, Joe Louis, Jesse Owens etc. But that was when America was still America and even democrats were generally patriots.
LOVE THIS OMG thank you I can actually hear Archies voice say who the hell cares!! He has become such an OFF THE CHART LIB hard to believe he ever played the part!!
They are 14% of the population.
Why should a country that doesnt value black lives get to be entertained by black athletes?
So she’s advocating banning black atheketes from the NBA, NFL, MLB etc...?
Give all the million dollar salaries and endorsement deals to all non-black players, then. I wonder what Miss Idiot would say to that.
She acts like they are doing that just out of their good graces - no, dear, it is because are PAYING for it. Goods for services. If there was no money in it, they wouldn’t have it.
So if they want to stop and go bankrupt, that’s their prerogative. We can take our eyeballs and our dollars elsewhere.
I’d prefer to be entertained by an American athlete. Don’t care about the color.
