If they kneel and no one is watching, have they actually knelt? Second question: Who cares?

Good post. Thanks.

Sometimes, people make my decisions sooooo easy and clear.

I will never watch another NBA game. Simple. Never.

And Gayle King wonders why fans were booing the athletes?

It's not because the fans do not want justice. The love of justice--like the love of truth--is a universal and inherent human quality.

It's because they're appalled that privileged men, earning millions of dollars to play ball, who live in unimaginable luxury, and who have every advantage, should have the gall to deprecate the sacred nation to which they should give thanks for all their privileges and advantages.

Those who booed probably saw injustice--not justice--in their deprecation: injustice in their disrespect for the fans who support them, most of whom have far less advantages, and the nation that makes it all possible.

I say this with respect to Gayle King, whom I admire.

Any American who continues to watch pro sports, is an accomplice to this.

You definitely have a point. The college and university athletic programs that supply the athletes to pro sports before they even graduate need to go out of business, too. What a farce. I saw it years and years ago first hand.

Dennis Prager nailed it. People who watch sports now, they support the very athletes who think they are racists. He asked these fans.....”don’t you have any dignity?”

Exactly. What fools.

How does the NBA even exist?

***********

Don’t know specifically but money is coming their way.

The NBA makes money primarily through television, merchandising,
sponsorships, and tickets.

The 30 teams making up the NBA have an average valuation of $1.9 billion each.

Across last year’s season, the NBA generated about $8 billion in revenue.

If it makes you feel any better, within five years most of them are broke

In five years, they'll be panhandling on a street corner.

Never heard the term, wiggers. Learn something every day. Thanks

Wiggers
a white person who tries to emulate or acquire cultural
behavior and tastes attributed to African Americans.

No problem.

Hopefully I can pass on something positive next time. :)

A lot of “professional” players could face the prospect of actually working to put food on the table. Let ‘em eat cake.

Wonder how the ratings are for the NBA. I’m one of those who bluster, say I won’t watch, then get sucked back in. But in the NBA’s case, I haven’t watched a second since they came back and tend to forget they’ve even been playing. Wonder if that’s just a local thing (Cavs never came back) or if it’s playing out nationally.

NBA is a bunch of thugs one paycheck away from a felony conviction. I don’t watch them.
