OFFICIAL 2020 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD - DISNEY COVID INVITATIONAL EDITION - MAMBA FOREVER - LAKERS WIN THE RONA RAND - ALA FOREVER

[Peep Game]

Exactly. Fashion Nova and other companies tweeting out Black Lives Matter while not actually having black employees doesn’t mean anything. It’s a trend to them.

There is no way you're black with some of the questions you're asking and the comments you''re making.

I've been black for 32 years. Let's not play the "You're not black because you don't agree with me" game

Speaking of birthdays, I’m at the shop getting cut for mine (on Friday), and the protest stuff becomes the topic of conversation

Long story short, players should’ve never took the cop out and played just because of a message on a jersey and never came to the bubble from the jump

In other words, Myrie was right

that makes no sense. each player made their choice and they continue to make their choice today, more power to them. they don't need any single one of us to validate their decisions.

BLACK WOMEN ARE THE ONLY REASON WE ARE STILL IN THIS FIGHT.

I agree with this. They go hard for black men. Sometimes I wish we gave them that same energy.

 

[atlsfinest]

That's the same guy that guaranteed Kawhi was going to sign with the Lakers. I wouldn't put much stock in what he says

Be the change you want to see.

Black lives Matter, #MeToo, Black women.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Mhmmm

I would bump but it seems like it would be in bad taste right now.

I will be mature.

 

[NickFolarin]

So today will be the only day of boycotts. Interesting.

 

[heelsandeers]

Craig Hodges is somewhere proud as hell today

 

[abubakr shaheed]

just glad i didn't have to find the nba playoffs boycott thread

 

[frshstunna]

The hearts and minds and people the NBA is trying to reach aren't hurt by NBA players forfeiting games and going on strike. Unfortunately, the people these NBA players who want to reach don't watch basketball. NBA fans are younger, live in big cities and have more progressive values, In a sense these players are preaching to the choir. People in middle America don't watch NBA basketball.

Nobody involved in all this gives a F what some middle America clowns and rednecks think or wanna watch...The NBA already doesn’t market to them much, that’s the NFL/baseball/nascar etc ppl’s

One of the points going on when the idea of the restart was happening that playing again would’ve been a distraction as things was still going on and hasn’t stopped. Of all the people who decided not to come to Orlando, only Myrie didn’t want to come because of the social injustices going on. We have the simple cop outs such BLM on the court and the messages on the jerseys.

Just like sitting out is a giant message in itself to the owners, a large collective not coming from the jump is a giant message that most believe should’ve happened

Historic times. The younger ballers will pick up and learn from these actions and know they have a impact.

 

[shotsrangout]

And dudes on here still think Michael is the goat

michael couldn’t even endorse a black man in his own state against a racist candidate

bron could go 0-82 and his social impact will still ring louder than mike’s

 

[f82]

#CancelSports #LeaveTheBubble

definitely not. we need to win it for kobe.

 

[maxelite]

Crazy.

but you watched every game? had plenty of laughs and entertainment from it now you get to say they should have stayed home?

 

[tramericanjr]

If they extend the boycott ... the players Midas whale go home ....

 

[Cashflow]

 

[storm2006]

So today will be the only day of boycotts. Interesting.

That's not necessarily true. It's just uncertain on behalf of both the players and owners what the next step is. Both parties are flying blind

 

[rolaholic]

That much was inevitable the moment the Bucks game got officially cancelled

What's unclear is how far they're willing to take this and how the league/owners responds...

Are people actually saying that Jordan has more of a social impact in terms of social injustice than Bron has? I feel like you are arguing against yourself here.
