Who knew a bunch of white guys could take down the NBA. And most of us are under 6 feet. Winning we just keep winning. NFL will be next bulk up.

My sense is there’ll be somewhat a return to normalcy, that those messages will largely be left to be delivered off the floor.

Does this Carville clone truly believe the aggressive wokeholes he has coddled and indulged are going to allow normalcy? Look how much ground they've won and how much the front office has conceded. I don't believe they'll allow any backing off whatsoever. Get ready for riots aimed at you, Adam.

Question for the learned among us.

This Veteran would like to find out, on a weekly basis, just which NFL teams had kneelers during our fantastic National Anthem, who, and how many?

Is there a website that might compile such info?

.

Background: I wanted to watch a Denver Broncos this past week, but since I could not know for certain if there would be kneelers, I chose to not give the net a "hit".

I'm stronger and my resolve is more steeled than is the America-hating Mister Goodell's.

However, if a team (the entire team, including players, cheerleaders, owners and etc.) chooses to honor our Flag and Country (and us Vets) I might watch the contest.

Too late. Been a Cavs fan since 1975, but won’t watch a minute moving forward.

I stopped watching years ago. It has become too Gangsta for my taste. BLM Marxist propaganda only reinforced my decision. I will never watch a NBA game for the rest of my life. College basketball is much more entertaining.

Adam, you don’t understand. It is too late to pick the game out of the crap hole that you have “guided” it into.

You will lose Billions of $$$$ and deserve to lose every penny. You lost control or the black lives players and those they hoodwinked into thinking that the cause was theirs and an important one.
Early leadership could have stemmed the tide but there is no leadership to be found in the NBA offices. Easy when all is well but when the players start to run the operation, you are DEAD MEAT.

As my Dad said, “it’s foul ball, too many fouls and going to the line to shoot free throws. It’s stuff ball, stuffing the ball in the hoop is not the game. The game is only interesting in the last 3 minutes, why watch it at all?”

I am not on Adam Silver’s side, no way!
Screw the NBA.

The amazing Mr. Silver wants to mostly take Social Justice messaging off the courts. Will Mr. Silver and his amazing NBA players be taking to the streets? Will they intimidate, loot, burn, tear down statues of those they hate, and perhaps kill some people?
Will LeBron James be moving to Compton, California? Will Mr. Silver move the NBA league to China? So many important questions that the amazing Mr. Silver and his NBA millionaires have to answer.

“Get ready for riots aimed at you, Adam.”

I can’t wait for the strike. The strike that nobody notices.

NBA is heading for the craphole at “ludicrous speed!”

Some College teams are having the players stay in the locker room until the National Anthem is played. After its conclusion the players come out and THEY KNEEL FACING THE FLAG!!! This was last year, of course.
Most are black but some of the white players join because, I’ve been told, they are “coerced,” “we are a team ain’t we” by the blacks. Our local team looked fractured because of the tension. I will not go to any games this year. I can get the results on line.
