It is a good thing that LeBron doesn't care what you think of him. He realizes that you only care that he and people who look like him just shut up and play ball for your entertainment. News flash!!!!! Those days are over!! Keep up the chatter and you will see even fewer top recruits come to UK.
Just so you're aware, I want the same thing when the Oscar's comes around. I want the actors and actresses to come up to the podium, thank the people that helped them get where they are then shut their pie holes and walk away. Last time I checked those events are primarily all white people. So 'Yes', I want NBA players to shut up and play ball for my entertainment.

Well... not anymore I don't.

Well if that is true, you might want to consider not entertaining us with your stupidity in this NBA thread.

How about another fact! Even if what you said is true, there was no reason to shoot an unarmed man in the back 7 times in front of his kids. In that same city a 17 year of white male shot multiple people with an AR15 and lived to talk about it. It was reported that when the cops rushed to the scene they ran past the armed white male because they were looking for another black man to shoot.
Your reading comprehension is poor at best and I don't believe you have any interest in discussing openly and honestly. Please continue on.

Yet SJW Lebron wanted others punished for speaking up about the human rights of Chinese people, also known as people who don't look like Lebron.

Reading comprehension isn't the problem. Your attempt to flex your opinion into facts is your problem. You are yet to realize that you can have your own opinions but not your own facts.

It's wanting to separate politics from entertainment. Quite frankly it's what most people want. An escape from the everyday ******** that's going on in the world. If you want your politics and entertainment all bundled up into one big package be my guest. The next intelligent statement you make in this thread will be your first from what I've seen.

Agreed on wanting an escape. Most athletes are not the most intelligent guys and not who I want telling me how to vote to who to vote for. They can say their piece on social stuff all they want but the politics is nauseating. I turn the channel whenever they dont talk sports anyways.

You really got me. Truth is i could give 2 ***** what lebron thinks also. Hes a massive hypocrite who will fall in line with the nba like the sheep he is. I test you to find anything i said thats incorrect also. I tried to remain PC as possible yet go figure, someone had to get butt hurt about the truth

Now we do agree on the issue of separating entertainment and politics. However, when you are in the minority class, you have to use whatever available means of influence you have. In 1955, there were a lot of people who didn't understand what kind of impact the Montgomery Bus Boycott would have. Many said who cares if "they don't ride the bus". By 1956, it was clearly understood. Those low wages domestic workers flexed their collective muscles together to help change a nation. This isn't unlike what sports players are doing today. If you don't understand it, you soon will.

You are the one who seems butt hurt. If you and those white owners don't like what the black players are doing, they should replace them with all white players. I am sure the sport will remain equally popular even if the game is played below the rim.

Well, don't pose it like it's a threat or something. I actually do understand and this is a fair statement.

Thats my favorite thing about all this is how they preach to vote. Uhh thats not gonna change anything. What it may do though is subdue the leftists currently throwing nationwide tantrums about Trump like a kid who didnt get the invite to the adult table at Thanksgiving. Then the left will pretend theyre saviors when in reality theyre the ones being so divisive to begin with

If what you state is true, that makes you a good and decent person who just has a different opinion from mine. The good thing is that acceptance and tolerance of other's view points can make this an interesting but peaceful world. One in which entitles and assures us all an equal right to live our lives without the fear of being shot to death by people who are sworn to protect us. If any of us break the law, the punishment should be just and equally executed no matter color, race, sexuality, or nationality or any other "ality" I omitted

People saying they want their sports as entertainment, distraction from the other things going on. That's exactly WHY the athletes did what they did. It's them saying "we won't be your distraction right now. Look out there, at what's going on."
The thing is, we are already looking out there at what is going on everyday. You can't get away from it. They're not adding to me recognizing the problem in any way. It's already in my face all day every day. It's on the news, on talk radio, in the papers, it's online, hell, it's ouside our front doors in some cases. We already see what's going on. I don't need more of it being shoved down my throat. We already see it.

It's too bad they won't look at what's really destroying the black community right now.Very few fathers in the home and the huge black on black crime in the world.Down the street from my brother's home a 5 year old black child was shot by an 18 year old black drug dealer.Where's the outrage and protests?I don't see Lebron and the sports world outraged by this.No because they would have to admit that black people might be a part of the problem.It's easier to play the victim and I say this as biracial man with a black father and white mother.

And ...theyre playing again. Guess someone told them hey guys 40% of our revenue comes from in person fans and since TV is our only option we are standing to lose 100's of millions more...good luck with that new contract

Then china probably said...you need to air games, and while anecdotal evidence is important to you, us killing muslims isn't anecdotal

You can always tell when they start scraping the bottom of the barrel as an attempt to distract. Sorry, but this conversation is about murder committed by those who are sworn to uphold the law. If you want to work the other issues you listed in parallel with preventing cops from committing murder, great! Otherwise you are simply trying to distract. Also, good luck with your biracial story. NO ONE CARES!! It doesn't make you special. If you know anything about history, you would realize that the one-drop rule makes you all black. LOL

Must be fake news...this is what our country is now. Proliferation of the of the ignorant and their conspiracy’s. To many fake religious uneducated whites in this country. Shooting a man seven damn times in front of his kid and this board is more outraged about lebrons comments and nba players walking off.

Just move the NBA over to the BET network. Nobody cares anymore. TNT and/or ESPNBLM network is becoming unwatchable as well.. These networks that have been covering the NBA games are overly opinionated to be hosting sports contests. People are sick at their attempt to brain wash the viewers with their opinions regardless if these opinions are right or wrong. Even that Jerry Springer show on ESPN (Stephen. A Smith and Max Kellerman) promoted a difference of opinion.
You are too ignorant to realize that BET is white owned. WOW!! If this thread continues long enough, those who are watching will get a truer understanding about the state.

Yawn. All this stupidity for a woman beating kid toucher with warrants. Understand, if you are white, LBJ hates you. Yet he got rich off your willingness to buy products made by Chinese slave labor. But sure, let's burn down another city for another violent felon who came in last in Simon says. A car is a weapon, and he had a knife. Worst heroes ever.

It is more than one incident. They aren't saying Jacob Blake is a stand-up guy, let's protest just over him. It is incident after incident after incident.

I'm white. I grew up in a rural area. I try to learn every day. The truth is white Americans have some privileges than black Americans don't. For whatever reason, it is just the truth. And if you cannot see that, I suggest you do a little reading on the subject from sources that are not Donald Trump or Clay Travis.

How did you decide that I was ignorant and did not know BET was white owned? Do you get offended easily or do you just need a good *** kicking?All networks are "White" owned or controlled. Much like they are the driving force behind this BLM movement.

There you have it. Lmd says you're only allowed to care about the black people killed by law enforcement. And some folks wonder why others find the BLM movement at times to be disingenuous.

brilliant piece of neo nazi propaganda. The rest of the so called religious racists on this board will definitely agree with this. What’s next? Make lynching legal ?

So do you care about this murdered child and all the other blacks murdered by other blacks?The numbers are astounding but since the climate is just evil white people it's not helping certain agendas so I guess they can be swept under the rug.I understand now that black lives only matter if they were killed by white people.

Another neo nazi drinking the bleach. The topic is police brutality. It’s about blacks being killed by reckless officers with badges. I know that’s a hard topic to understand so you keep deflecting.
Blacks can deal with their community problems no one is saying that’s okay. But to sit here and pretend blacks can be killed by cops without any backlash or criticism is absolutely insane. Even a murderer doesn’t deserve that treatment from police. We are a nation or laws, and we respect those laws equally not just out of convenience. I respect there are a ton of closet racists on this board. We live in the United States and afforded freedom of speech. But I think it’s time cops give blacks the same treatment they give whites. You wear a badge and your only duty is to uphold the law equally.

Strange that I'm black and have had no trouble with cops.Of course I haven't been accused of sex crime or robbery.
