I swear this should be stickied to the top of this thread right now. This sideshow they're trying to pull off is a CLEAR move centered around business interests and nothing more.
Can they "protest" while playing...SURE!!! But that's not the reason why they've spent the past 4 months planning this bull**** for. Is not playing going to end white supremacy? NO!!! But that's not why there are players who are hesitant in playing. There's a MIX of ethical AND logistical concerns at play.
They just spent an ENTIRE offseason and some at home in what's being sold as a "pause" in the season. L's have already been handed out across the board. The most rational thing to for everyone is to cut losses and figure out how to start the next season (if even possible). Not try to squeeze a weird *** summer league out of these bammas and then ask em to turn right around and start a "new" season in 2 months.
If people are THAT thirsty for sports....enjoy the replacement players and be good with it. Just call this what it is: a play to salvage the bag as much as possible. There's no added bonus of "spreading awareness" while doing so.
The fact that there are so many people buying this idea of them playing being some sort of platform to protest is nasty. Dragging in player narratives into the mix is even nastier .
Incredible how the peanut gallery fell for the "Kyrie Ture is spreading propaganda and trying to ruin the fun" media rollout too. This **** is wicked
Very well said. This should be stickied as well tbh.
I’m not confident in the outcome to the point that I’m willing to take $150 from BIG LEEMELONE but like I’ve been saying for weeks, the NBA really needs to roll out their full proposal ASAP. They’re supposed to have players traveling to Orlando in three weeks and there’s not even a plan in place
