Players only meeting.

At the same time I feel like all this does in the end is hurt the NBA as a business and hurt the vast majority of fans who are not racist and just want to watch a game they enjoy.

How the **** can majority of fans not be racist when we were all raised in a systemically racist society? Are you actually so naive to believe, on one hand, that we have a serious problem with racism in society, but on the other hand, you're not racist at all?

I think their voices are louder in the bubble, sorry but it is true.

But if they want to walkout, then do it and create a drop the mike moment. Or get the cameras on them and few players make a statements for few minutes before each game. But it's up to them.

Covid and the racial injustice stuff all just sucks...like...royally. Can we just skip to 2021?

Cops will still be executing people of color in 2021. Bet.

I have mixed feelings about this. My view of the world really changed over the last year, I was diagnosed with cancer in December and have gone through hell trying to survive. I really have no patience for this grandstanding nonsense. The important things in life start at home with your family and loved ones.
I spent dec, Jan, Feb, March, April, may, locked down because I am/ was extremely high risk. I guess what I am feeling is that there are better ways of effecting change. Sitting here watching people literally burn down their own community just didn't make me want to be a part of whatever they were trying to accomplish.
Now watching these guys literally take their balls and go home does nothing but make me feel like they are just virtue signaling.
They have a very unique platform that they are just going to waste.

I wish you nothing but the best in your fight. Beat that bastard cancer.

I completely agree with your stance on everything.

It’s going to be hilarious watching the players and owners fight over money they are going to loose. But some things are just bigger than money.

I don’t really care what happens, honestly the games were just not the same.

Yes, I can believe I am not racist. Because I am not racist.

I know myself well. I'm certain that you don't know me better than I do.

Disagree. Remove the white supremacist from the White House and things can only get better.

I think if trump looses than there will be a bunch of his cult that tries their hardest to sow discord and chaos in order to make Biden, "the left", "the liberals", and the Dems look bad and make it appear that Trump wasn't the problem.

I hope I wrong

I hope everything turns out for the best for everyone and the season continues. But will this protest/walkout happen every time a black person is shot or killed by the police? If so, this season, next season and future seasons will all be in jeopardy for all sports. I hear the cries for change but it won't happen instantly, it will take time. It'll only upset people even more if the players decide to leave the bubble and call it quits.

Yup. New CBA will certainly be interesting.
 
I would guess that people who are just ordinary good hard working people will turn the channel and probably never go to any live games in the future.
It's kinda like all of the "peaceful protests" kinda like ******** the bed and then having to sleep in it. the silent majority will make the biggest statement in the end because they are just flat out sick of all of this and covid.

Good point. without a doubt that’s going to happen. But things won’t improve as long as the White supremacist has his hands on the levers of government. Getting him out won’t immediately fix things. But we can’t start fixing things until we boot his *** out.

People are sick of hearing it will ‘take time’. How many centuries do we expect for minorities to wait?
