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.

Never mind. I should of never made the post. Disregard what I said. I don’t want to take away from what everyone else is talking about.

 

[dland24]

If only we could all watch this. Would be fascinating.

[BIG FISH]

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

Why we gotta compare him to Mike?
Regardless... Mike just pledged like 10B to social justice causes.
Lets not do this bro

Goat on the court is mike ...... LeBron speaks out more against injustice ... don’t know why this is a discussion now

Love it. Seems like it’s a legit thing and not just a one game thing.

No more dunks touchdowns and 3’s until y’all billionaire owners put money and protection to the communities that these players come from

Yup. Owners need to step up. Players can influence the owners. The owners can influence legislation.

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.

You’re trippin if you think the nba isn’t big in “middle America”. Nba is big in the south. In racist *** Indiana and Kentucky. It’s big in racist *** Utah and Okc. Missouri. Etc.

NIKETALK is not big there

And I do think this movement needs to be felt everywhere including those places

Donald Trump Picks 'Non-Political' Michael Jordan Over LeBron James

U.S. President Donald Trump said being "not political" makes Michael Jordan better than LeBron James

[NickFolarin]

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

I know. It was an Arye Abraham joke

 

[rolaholic]

If the Devos family truly felt that way and meant it Betsy wouldn't be active member and participant in the administration

Same thing with the MAGA owner of the Atlanta Dream if they release any statement while she's sitting pretty in congress slandering BLM and pushing 45's agenda

Jordan is the GOAT basketball player, no one says he's the goat human being or advocate. No one is even saying that Michael Jordan is a good person. He's just the best basketball player ever.

 

[sole searchin]

Kyrie kicking back.

What about a general human rights issue?

Everyone was pretty quiet earlier this year with the whole Morey and Hong Kong situation. Especially Lebron.

Word.
The reason why Muhammad Ali is considered the GOAT is because of his sacrifice, not his fighting record.

 

[Hahahaha]

I really hope the Brewers boycott. MLB teams boycotting would be huge. Also need someone like Aaron Rodgers to speak up. He's spoken before but we need something louder, especially right now.

 

[smedroc]

Let’s go ahead and patch Kyrie into this meeting via zoom so he can get his **** off.

 

[aepps20]

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

I am the authority on whether a person is black and I've seen you in da mines with me. NUFF SAID.

 

[tomdiginson]

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

That definitely isn't what I'm saying. You just sound very uneducated when it comes black history. You're asking what will boycotting do and you're allegedly black??? You've been posting the same foolishness word for word for months.

When you say "refusing to play because of racial injustice" what type of change are you expecting? What does refusing to play NBA basketball changing? I'm confused on what this has to do with the NBA. Is the idea "we're not playing basketball in order to focus our collective attention on social reform?"

Is the NBA the enemy here? Is the idea "we want the NBA to do more and we're withholding labor until we see the league make changes?"

Can someone explain to me like I'm five the connection between racial injustice and not playing NBA basketball? To me, it sounds like they're conflating two seperate issues. Even as a black man myself, I don't understand the connection here.

Also, when Kyrie says "something smells a little fishy", what does he mean?

 

[shotsrangout]

Kyrie kicking back.

What about a general human rights issue?

Everyone was pretty quiet earlier this year with the whole Morey and Hong Kong situation. Especially Lebron.

Wasn’t China rightfully outraged?

this is an issue with black americans not Chinese people in China

 

[KHUFU]

What about a general human rights issue?

Everyone was pretty quiet earlier this year with the whole Morey and Hong Kong situation. Especially Lebron.

What is HONG KONG's position on reparations for African Americans? What is that country's position on how COVID disproportionately effects Black people? Have any officials spoken out on these issues?
