With all due respect, I think speaking out vs. Trump is a VERY "safe/easy" thing to do.
Why? EVERYONE does IT.

Guy#2 Thanks. You too. **** Trump.

Because he doesn't feel like it and there is nothing wrong with that.

What if I told y'all Phil Jackson won coach of the year only once in his career?
- 160,657

These statements are always removing context from the year to year operation because we are looking at the totality of a player's (coach's) career.
Yes it would seem like one of the best ever should have more but you would need to do a year to year deep dive to determine if he was ever cheated of an award.

Looks like he only won it once and that was in 95-96 when they had the most season wins in NBA history (at the time). Figured he would've won more considering they got 6 titles.

He knows what that fan base in NC is definitely about.

That suits FOX news, their supporters, and the republican party just fine.

This but looking at someone like Jackson who is in the GOAT conversation for NBA coaches you'd expect him to have won at least 3-4 times also considering his time with the Lakers. Just goes to show you how hard it is to win the award each season. Like he prob finished top 5 in voting numerous times.

Yea without looking, I don't think CHI had the best record for anymore than 50% of their championship seasons.

There are many other famous people out there other than Jordan and Lebron. Expecting every single one of them to speak out against Trump and any other political issues you don't agree with is just not realistic. Celebrities are people as well just like you and me so if they just want to live their life minding their business, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I'm sure the Republican party doesn't care and neither does the Democrat.

At the height of Jordan's popularity, there were NO Black athletes outside of Muhammad Ali, that could speak to Jordan's popularity. Add to that that young Black people were dying over his shoes, his silence politically was deafening. Since the hood embraced him, making him popular before he was noticed on the global stage, Jordan dropped the ball by not speaking out against the murder of kids over material items. His position gave a voice to corp america, therefor making it seem as if he was okay with those kids dying over his shoes, keeping his mouth shut so he could keep collecting checks.
It wasn't a good look, and the BOOTSTRAP talk about bad parenting being the result over such madness?
Was incredibly insensitive, and misleading.

Yea, dudes dying from attempted robbery of YOUR product and you sit quiet.
But yea, "He doesn't have to talk if he doesn't want to."

Barkley also said that he hated White people, then was forced to apologize. So, I would not use him as a role model for anything.
Don't ever forget how they really feel about Black athletes who are aware of the system. Jordan stayed silent.

Jordan at the height of his popularity, is a basketball player. His job was job was to win championships for the Chicago Bulls. He is not obligated to speak out against kids getting robbed for his shoes if he doesn't want to. If Lebron wanted to go the extra mile for the hood, cool, that's his choice. Expecting every single celebrity with a voice, no matter how big or famous they may be, to speak out against issues is just not realistic at all.
