Sources: NBA, union plan to paint 'Black Lives Matter' on courts in Orlando

**Golden fleece** · 06-30-20, 11:38 AM

if the nba players truly believed in this marxist movement or "equality for all" then all players should get paid the same. the 12th man should get the same as lebron and so on.....

when are they going to realize the hypocrisy they bring onto themselves with all this BS?

**bigtymer56** · 06-30-20, 11:42 AM

Lmao...knew as I saw this story...the usual suspects here would be triggered.

You guys already hate the NBA, why do you care what they paint on the court or put on their jerseys?

Wondering if BLM is paying, or will eventually pay for this advertisement? Does anything outside of the nba's logo and teams go on a court without someone tossing them cash?

So does this mean another "Group" can pay for advertising too?
maybe a All Lives Matter lego?

Money is Money, right?

Bigs, I'll tell you why...

Because people are tired of being called racist WHEN THEY AREN'T

Because people are tired of some African-Americans thinking they are exempt in having to follow rules & laws

And because many African-Americans who have good common sense & intelligence are ashamed by their own ppl who continue to stir the racial pot, just like anyone else white, brown, yellow or green is ashamed of their ppl doing the same.

Nba dropped Spalding. They produce racist balls. Have a rendering of a "white man" on the ball. New balls will be made by Wilson, and hearing the ball will be all black with a fist on it, maybe 2

Well... there is probably a deeper root than what I am suggesting but here's a simple thought experiment... If the entire country had police forces that were entirely black... would blacks still be getting killed by police officers? I believe the answer is Yes.

I'm not saying that there's not a problem with many police officers abusing their authority... but if I was a black leader(Obama, Oprah, LeBron, Jordan, etc...) I would go on TV and point out the obvious... the first step in not getting killed or mistreated by a police officer is to stop breaking the law. As long crime's are still being committed... I can guarantee that there is still going to be MASSIVE problems.

Don't get me wrong... I think both sides are to blame. But if a group(BLM) REALLY wants change... they must first do everything they can in their own power to be pro-active in this change. And being pro-active means looking in the mirror and asking yourself and the group you are fighting for to make those changes(stop breaking the law) first. I don't expect this to happen anytime soon which is why I think things will continue to get worse.

They also never talk about Black on Black killings
that has to be a what? 1000 to 1 when talking black on black killings to cops killing a black person?

Don't become main stream, as soon as you become main stream you're done.

totally agree with points made. problem is this movement is just a political stunt to keep control of the black vote and nothing else i beleive

i wish a big named black guy would step out and point out the obvious so then realistic conversations could be made instead of chaos and violence. until then...... pick a side narrative will continue. unfortunately like you said

Green Bills Matter!!! Agreed..

If I can cap it and win money betting it again that's all I care about also..

**RudyRuetigger** · 06-30-20, 12:40 PM

if you look at the white liberals....they are all ugly, stoners, bad families, fat, and/or poor

they have gotten picked on throughout their adolescence so they want to feel like they belong somewhere

basically like the island of misfit toys in that christmas movie

instead of overcoming, they want to blame

in the past, you would look at someone in an expensive car and think, wow...i need to better myself to have these things

now it is....blame, get free shit

Confederate flag losing prominence 155 years after Civil War

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Long a symbol of pride to some and hatred to others, the Confederate battle flag is losing its place of official prominence 155 years after rebellious Southern states lost a war to perpetuate slavery.

No coffee

There are millions of fine black ppl who have good common sense and preach to their fellow African-Americans that all of this stuff is nonsense.

But those who are brainwashed won't even listen to their own ppl.

Take some time to listen to these millions of witty, intelligent black ppl, compared to the clueless thugs who are protesting.

The difference between the two groups is obvious and sad

when this happens how many caucasians will "identify" as black?

fuk it , I'd even give it a shot..... if dudes with penises can compete in women sports than i should be able to say i "feel" like my ancestry is from Africa too

**RudyRuetigger** · 06-30-20, 02:56 PM

I am fine with a difference of opinion

I never report anyone unless I start getting warnings/infractions/bans when dealing with someone

Usually it is liberals that report me so I have to defend myself

I am glad to see a few conservative mods to keep things equal
