Someone PLEASE explain to me What boycotting or walking out of Game has to do with

[SBR Tony]

what happened to the guy that got shot??????

what does a pro athlete, who gets paid to play a game, and is boycotting a game going to do to Change what happened?

So every time a Black person gets shot by a cop, they will refuse to play?
How's that going to change anything?

what, if you shoot that Black guy, I'm not playing! Really??

I don't want to see it, but I'd like to see what happens if a White guy gets shot by a Cop.
oh just another day, I'm playing tonight!

[The General]

Nothing. Nobody cares. We'll gladly come into your neighborhood and help you when we're not scared of dying while trying to help. Are you listening, Mr James.

[pavyracer]

They are protesting racial inequality. A white guy doesn't get shot 7 times in the back for the same violation the black guy commited.

Do you get it now?

[Snowball]

they think they can affect change by hurting the man in the wallet.

[BigdaddyQH]

Tony, you are dealing with the Black Mentality here. Why do Black males kill more Black males than all of the other races combined? It will never change.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Nothing will change.

Next week there will be a new video of a black man getting shot making the rounds and we'll be right back at square one.

[The General]

Cops killing a black man is rare in reality. Do the math, gamblers.

the Cop was 100% wrong at this point with what I have seen so far.

What does it have to do with SPORTS?
what does it have to do with walking out, boycotting a Game?
please tell me so I can understand

I might need a new hobby, this shit is getting stupid

They got you to create a thread in Players Talk that should be Salooned... Seems to be working

Seems like alot of white Americans love "Law & Order" so nothing will happen when a white person gets murdered by the police.

You might some "Why doesn't Lebron and BLM protest about this? Chicago! Black on black crime! They are the real racists!!" posts from guys on this site and another submission in this thread: https://www.sportsbookreview.com/for...-no-donut.html

look up the definition of lazy shvar on Google. That's the reason in NBA....

well the way it's going, might as well cancel the seasons
as a gambler I don't want them to, but they already gave them a voice. it's painted on the baseline, it's on their jerseys, it's on their tv commercials, now they don't want to play, so end the season and go home.

[SBR Tony]

don't matter to them, Black lives are more important to them.
but they are blaming everyone else because of a few bad apples. That doesn't make everyone racist.

I know what side you are on, that doesn't matter to me
maybe you could answer the questions?

Many people don’t think the cop did anything wrong. They can somehow justify shooting someone 7 times in the back.

What does it have to do with sports you ask? It has everything to do with sports. Sports is a microcosm of society. Jessie Owens sticking it to Hitler by winning 4, I think gold medals, when he said black people were inferior. Muhammad Ali refusing to fight a war in some far away place when he had more problems with people in his own country. Or 2 black athletes raising their fists in protest as they received their Olympic medals. People hated them for doing that back in the day. People hated Ali. People hate change and they get uncomfortable when someone forces them to think.

Question. Are you afraid of the police? Would you be leery to call them if needed? Now, imagine if you were in sheer terror at the though of an officer pulling you over for a simple traffic stop. What if you were so afraid to call the police right after your house got robbed so you just let it go. Some of these athletes face those fears every day, even behind gated communities.

[hehfest]

Do you get it now?

I'm so sorry that you are in denial. Someone at SBR posted percentages by race of white/black people killed by cops every year. Percentages, not total people. Guess what? It's much higher for white people. It's simple. You either do what the police penetrating say or you're in trouble. It's not a clown show. You get pulled over. Follow the penetrating orders so you don't get wacked. Don't walk away and go into your car whether you have a weapon in there or not. Why is this so difficult for these fucktards here to understand that? Believe me, if you are a cop pulling fucktards over high on crack/meth/drunk whatever. Violent people often too. You wouldn't take one penetrating chance you cawksucker.

Oh please. White cops get killed every day by black people and no one says a peep about it. But when a white cop shoots a black guy who is a bad criminal and resisting arrest, we need to shut down the world for it? Come on.

This stuff is so stupid and the NBA is a bunch of little babies. And if you support them, I’ve lost all respect for you, dude. Best thing we as a people can do is boycott them back. Most people habe already have been doing that.

[The General]

All common sense and an open minded look proves most white America agrees that 7 times in the back is bullchit but African Americans only see the white racism out there. Open your eyes. We are on your side But we will not tolerate violence as the answer. You Are Turning Your Allies Away. Don't You see.....

I get what you're saying, but what will it do for jacob blake?
what will it do for the next guy?

a few bad apples don't make the Whole world racist.
They just need to deal with each case as it happens.

Players walking out / boycotting ain't going to do a thing to stop the next shooting.

to answer your question on being afraid of a cop/police
if I'm guilty of something, sure. but overall, no

Yes I'm caucasian and when i drove down south ( years ago ) they pulled me over for nothing
and I know for sure that it was because my plates were from the North.
I didn't think I was going to get shot, but it was well known back in the day that the South hated people from the North

[Mac4Lyfe]

what happened to the guy that got shot??????
I believe he’s paralyzed from the waist down. Not sure how he survived?
what does a pro athlete, who gets paid to play a game, and is boycotting a game going to do to Change what happened?
They can’t change what already happened but hopefully it will create discussion like we’re having here and hopefully we all get better.
So every time a Black person gets shot by a cop, they will refuse to play?
Black people and white people have been getting shot by cops since forever. There comes a point when people get sick and tired of being sick and tired.
How's that going to change anything?
People said the same thing about bus boycotts, lunch sit ins, etc. If they don’t take some type of action, how can they ever change anything. Where would we be if our forefathers never threw away the tea?
what, if you shoot that Black guy, I'm not playing! Really??
I don’t care what color of any of the parties. If I shot an unarmed man in the back 7 times, I would turn myself in.
I don't want to see it, but I'd like to see what happens if a White guy gets shot by a Cop.

White guys get shot by the police all the time. It really sucks that no one seems to care. Yes, some are jackasses but the police should not be executing citizens.
oh just another day, I'm playing tonight!

Answers to your questions above.

[carolinakid]

again i got a bad feeling this weekend will be a lot of crap with cities across the nation.i hope not, but i think we will see a lot of crap this coming weekend....

[The General]

Violence by African Americans will doom all progress.

[Bluehorseshoe]

Five of my bets cancelled tonight. I'm not happy

[The General]

It shouldn't be salooned. African Americans are penetrating up all progress by resorting to violence. Their hero Martin Luther King would approve of my messages.

Ive had the same thing happen to me driving from Ohio to Florida. Traps to take northerners money. Think how pissed off you were by bogus cops?

Now imagine if you were constantly pulled over because your black and you knew the cops hated you not because your from the north but because you were black. To top it off, You knew like everyone else Knew that in these days you might get shot by these cops even though you were innocent. Can you imagine the fear you must face every day? Are you going to get fed up one day and Fight or Flight?

i lived in LA when the LAPD Rampart division was planting drugs/evidence on minorities. They specifically targeted successful black, Hispanic and Asian people. They even killed some in cold blood. Go look up the THOUSANDS of people who were targeted. I met a Hispanic man that told me he spent 4 years in jail because of rampart. They totally ruined his life. He had a great job, made good money and was preparing to get married. His fiancé left him, his family deserted him. Even his mother didn’t believe him because the evidence was so overwhelming. The thing that hurt him the most was not spending time in jail but that his mom died before he was exonerated. That man had me in tears. LA county settled with him for several million dollars but people still don’t totally believe in him.

Do you get it now?

A white guy does and has been shot for resisting arrest and reaching in his car clown. No i don't get all these protests. Quit fuking resisting arrest. Don't care wtf color you are. Let them put the cuffs on and enjoy the ride to jail its as simple as that. I wish some of you clowns would try to be a cop for like a week. Your telling me if a guy reaches in his car your not going to shoot him . No your going to wait and see what he grabs out of that car huh. Course you will be dead by now. They already tried to Tase the bitch and that didn't work. Guess they should put in laws you can only shot criminals once. And like in the ankle or something clowns.

[Nappyx]

Tony, you are dealing with the Black Mentality here. Why do Black males kill more Black males than all of the other races combined? It will never change.

Uhh... The same reason why all the white males will kill more white males than all the other races combined. Let's try and make educated statements.

It was all for show. They were never going to boycott for more than a day.

They like cash more than social justice.

B.S sounds like a defund the police liberal clown story. Whites get shot by cops more then blacks son. By the way how long have you been a BLM or antifa member?

[capitalist pig]

I believe the cop walks and no charges will be filed. IF it’s true the black guy was reaching for a knife or if there even was a knife visible the cop had good reason to shoot, that’s the law not my opinion. Also I have not heard one fact that the guy actually got shot 7 times, it’s reported the cop fired 7 times but that doesn’t mean he had 7 hits. It’s a game now as to when to release the truth, but it will come out

later

[4TH AND STUPID]

The boycotts are to RAISE AWARENESS dummy.

Nobody said boycotting a game would solve world racism, hunger, or cure cancer.

It's about raising awareness. Obviously if you are part of a profession which places you on TV and dominates ratings, you have a platform to promote and advertise.

They are using the platform to promote equal treatment of black and white people by police and hoping that by making a unified stand that there will be more consequences for poor policing.

First step to change is knowing there is a problem.

But if you had half a brain youd know this.

The problem is most people here dont which is why Vegas cleans house
