You may be right. At the same time, sports in particular can be a type of entertainment that brings us all together, regardless of race, religion, socioeconomic status, etc.
I would be much more impressed if instead of cancelling games, NBA players did some of the following:
-Initiated meetings (volunteering their time) with local police departments in NBA cities to discuss potential changes to protect citizens.
-Promoted more diverse police departments that were representative of the people they serve.
-Initiated town hall meetings to discuss potential changes to local law enforcement.
-Contributed a portion of their salaries or NBA revenues to additional police training or resources that could help keep people safer.
-Contributed a portion of their salaries or NBA revenues to promote black entrepreneurship, which could help uplift black communities out of poverty.
These are just ideas off the top of my head that would be more productive than cancelling the season.
The sad thing is that cancelling the season will likely decrease people's attention to these matters. Which I think is the opposite of what they want.
I honestly think that a lot of what you were suggesting is going to come from this. Even if they resume every thing tomorrow, they’ve literally set the conversation for the country, regardless what side you agree with.
