Game Thread Jul 30, 2020: Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans

I never said anything bad about it, I simply said that it may be better to do it at a different time so as not to confuse the message.

You know, it's bad actors such as yourself who make reading comprehension a much needed fundamental so you don't take a quote and make it about something that it's not.

What is confusing about the message?

@One Brow, thanks for the intelligent response and not just being a jerk for the sake of it when replying to me. I appreciate it and think we need more of that type of dialogue.

My theory is that since they are doing it during the anthem, that people are confusing the message with a lack of patriotism or hatred of the US.

I understand that is not the intention, but I firmly believe it is getting lost in translation due to when the kneeling is taking place.

Dasjazz yr a moron and don't deserve intelligent responses lmfao.

People choose to misinterpret the message. He could do it in any fashion and people like you would still be butt hurt

Dasjazz I hope you walk on some broken glass and spill baked beans all over your clothes

especially right now, is my get away from the daily stresses of life.

I think that’s what the actual game is for.

The message gets distorted by people who refuse to see we have a problem in America and those who refuse to change or have sympathy for their fellow man. What’s the point of kneeling before the anthem or well after, after the game, no one will see it or know what it means, and those that I mentioned above are still going to distort the message.

Even with those fighting to change the message I know the message is getting through, because I’m one who got and understand the message and in turn have tried to help others understand. There are great things that have come from what Kaepernick started. Then there are people that try to hide the message by saying he’s doing it wrong. I can’t speak for anyone else but Kaepernick’s message changed my thinking and believe I’m a better person for it. Which makes what Kaepernick did good.

Let's be honest. Sports are a huge part of most people's lives and this sports hiatus has been very detrimental. We NEED sports, especially with so much other negativity in our world now.

I'm with you... all the sports guys that were acting like it is immoral to put the players in the bubble are super dumb. There were going to be less cases in a controlled environment than in the general public. They are actually protecting these guys and providing them a great opportunity to do something they love. They are also providing a means of making a living for tens of thousand of people - media, players, officials, support staff... and might also be saving the owners from having to furlough other employees in their other businesses (although these megabillionaires likely still do whatever they can to make a buck and many will still lay people off regardless).

It was one of the more dumb takes that was cloaked in wokeness that made me laugh. Howard Beck and Michael Pina (who I like) were the main culprits. It was such a dumb take.

If the Jazz want to go 6-2 and move up in the standings, they probably need to win tonight. On a neutral court, I'll say the Jazz will win by 4 or 5. It'll come down to how well the Jazz defend.

One thing to note... the standing don't really matter... everything is packed in tight... all the teams are tough. Just enjoy some basketball regardless of record. Hopefully they play as well as they can but don't worry about standings.

I’ve lowered my expectations mainly due to Bogey’s injury for this reason. I just want to enjoy basketball and root against the Lakers.

Me too... except... and this really hurts me a lot... I really like LeBron and have always rooted for him... I like AD and everyone knows I love me some Alex Caruso. Of the non-Jazz teams in the West they are one of my favorites....
