Shut up and play!
I agree. Let’s have social change that eliminates professional sports from our society.
NBA no!
NHL, yes!
Gosh, I wonder how race relations could have fallen so much under 8 years of the second black president?

Refund the money saved from the tax incentives that built your luxury palaces.
99.9% tax on NBA players. Give the money to homeless vets + school vouchers for kids.

Shut up and play your game for my amusement
The almighty dollar will shut their pie holes, just stop going and watching
The social change will be Trumpism. No more gov’t coddling the PC commie SJW a**holes.
Eliminating the NBA would be a good start.

I thought it was interesting as to who watches the various pro sports. They also have the ages of the fans by %. NBA has a very young demo as compared to the others, especially MLB. They might not care too much.

People, despite their race, do not get shot if they comply with police orders. When they resist they become a threat and the officer views it as “it’s my life or theirs.”
