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 doesn’t value black lives get to be entertained by black athletes?”
Hill’s 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. C’mon NBA, cancel the season!”

"black atheletes" don't play sports for their lives, they play for zillions of dollars.
I agree in the sense that I hope all the major sports leagues that support these racist losers and who are anti-American should fold. Never again. There is more to life than sup[porting these pathetic bozos.
There’s honest work at Jiffy Lube.
Yep. Five years ago when this crap started, I looked forward to the opening game for the Broncos. I watched a stand out Bronco (don’t even remember the name now) take a knee. I changed the channel and we never watched again.
Yep, I agree. They should all refuse to play ever again.
On another front, while we are at it, let's save the planet by eliminating the #1 pollution contributors, school buses... Every single one of them...
Since the seemingly-coordinated BLM-driven communist revolution & chicom sneak attacks, I've enjoyed missing the noise and congestion caused by school buses and over-priced male & female morons playing professional baseball, football, soccer, hockey, and basketball...
The only sport I'd grant more support to would be women's beach volleyball...
Just one instance where "kneeling" is good...
Of course, another is shooting...
Why would a racist country enrich a bunch prima donnna athletes whose talent is totally subjective?
i noticed when the chicken heads walked off the field at the Met's game the other day it was to an empty stadium... let-em do that at a game wi spectators and see what happens, if they had any moral conviction that is
There’s always Craig’s “Animals Close-Up with a Wide-Angle Lens Wearing Hats”. /South Park
I’m not sure why there are any sports segments on the local news shows anymore. Every day it’s “no sports yesterday, no sports today, and no sports scheduled for tomorrow but lots of arrests, lawsuits, and grievances.” It’s all starting to sound like a daily wellness check b sit from an exspouse.
Even during the lockdown deep points, there was still some traffic, so it made sense to have a traffic report. Same thing with the weather. But sports? Not so much.
If I want to watch the news and see stories about black people I can watch the opening segments when the local news covers shootings, violence and abandoned babies and famikies.
I no longer watch sports. I was a diehard Pittsburgh fan but I’m sick and tired of these pansy multi-millionaires acting like a bunch ignorant pussies. They are no longer worth my time or my money and can kiss my.....
It shouldn't. They will have to get real jobs.
Exactly... Fired each and every one of them.. Stop paying them these exorbitant salaries.
Then we can see how quickly their tunes will change.
That goes also for empty headed talkers like Jemele too.
““Why should a country that doesn’t value black lives get to be entertained by black athletes?”
Hahahahaha, no doubt he isn’t saying it loud, but inside LeBrain Dead James is telling the Beotch to STFU.
“out loud”
Why should black athletes that don’t care about back deaths in Chicago get paid millions to provide low grade physical entertainment?
She can’t even equal a broken clock in being right, but I agree with her here. I don’t deserve it... no matter how bad I’ve been.
My wife and I were just laughing about how these protesters for “justice” are protesting the very solutions that bring justice, rule of law, color-blind, merit-based society, protestant work ethic, etc., thereby their protests are that injustice be perpetuated.
And here this idiot thinks that one of the nation’s few purely merit-based systems is racist?
I wish I could have made that up myself, would be wonderful satire.
To hell with the anti-American, activist NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, NHL, and NASCAR. We’d be better off without any of them. Maybe Americans will start playing sports again, instead of just sitting on their couches getting fat watching privileged, overpaid athletes who hate their country and promote manipulative leftist propaganda.
Agreed. So let’s ban black athletes.
