I see the ?NBA is doing the national anthem walkout thing...

I guess they have been so put down by the man and the systemic racism in the US, they need to take some sort of stand.

So brave.

You know those 5 year olds that throw a tantrum in the stores when they don't get their way??

Yeah. That's what is happening. People will try to "talk" to them. "Rationalize" with them, etc.... when in reality they need to be grabbed by the neck, yanked into the bathroom and have the ever living crap beat out of them until they learn what the word "No" means.

Fear is one hell of a teacher. Ever stick something metal in an electrical outlet by mistake and get shocked - in spite of being told not to??

Ever do it again after the shock? No? Why? > Fear.

I guess when you know that daddy (the NBA) will make sure you get your money, it's easy to take an unpopular position.

This would be a pretty big news story if anybody knew about it. Fortunately, no one is watching since they screwed the Fever out early.

Edited to add the irony: Forced the Fever out due EXPLICITLY to racism. - Libs are irony impaired.

This has been pretty much routine practice since 2017. I don't think any protest is involved. The Indiana Fever lines up for the Anthem, but the requirement to do so has been suspended.

Yep. They're about the theatrics. Not basketball.

Absolutley. But the guy who is still confused about your LeBron joke doesnt "think" there's a protest involved. That's reassuring.
