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

[The General]

African Americans HAVE to have white America to succeed and it will be that way for the next 200 yrs. We are on your side. Stop the violence.

[franklee168]

What's the name of that guy who died due to the knee in the neck???? Exactly! Forgotten already. No one remembers shit.

[fried cheese]

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?

chi archie posted a video awhile back where 2 chicago cops were wrestling with a white guy for switching subway cars and then backed off and shot him. then he runs away up the stairs and they chase him and shoot him in the back off camera. he was unarmed.

I never saw it but it just proves my point that the police should not be vigilante executioners. People also have to give a shit when unarmed citizens are being shot and killed. I don’t care the color of the perp nor what crime they committed. If your job is to arrest them, do your job without incident. If you can’t subdue an unarmed perp because you are short, fat and weak, let the other cops do your job. Crazy people like Charles Manson are supposed to be apprehended, not killed before trial. Back in the day a cop would put a perp in a headlock while he cuffed him. Now a days these cops are smaller than teenage girls. WTF?

Criminal lives matter

[SBR Tony]

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

to raise Awareness?? What every News channel in the world covering these stories isn't enough?

"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."

I'm sure I'm reading this wrong because not one person is talking about when a Cop shoots a White guy.
I would love to get a daily update throughout the country.

and I know it has been repeated 1000 times but I don't see many protesting or boycotting when it's Black on Black crime
it's probably 100-1 when it comes to shooting or killing their own vs. Police shooting.
do they not care about Black lives? or only when a Cop shoots them?

again you can't blame all of this "Awareness " on a couple of bad apples
I want to see them protest for black on black shootings as well.

I agree with you. But, when this all started up again, BLM people got mad when some posted "ALL lives matter "
when they did that, BLM said You're Cancelled.

[SBR Tony]

hey, what about that 4 year old that was Shot and killed by the black guy??

No protest, no boycotting, no nothing. You don't hear about in the news any longer.

[Kermit]

If white people see that black people don't show that they care about black lives, how are you going to convince those same white people to get on board with your cause?

Black Lives Matter needs to change up it's title to Specific Black Lives Matter to avoid confusion.

Even black people are sick and tired of this BLM nonsense.

[MCherry281]

There's no way this would be happening if it was still the regular season and players risked losing part of their salary, but now protesting everything is just the cool thing to do I suppose.

[Chi_archie]

chi archie posted a video awhile back where 2 chicago cops were wrestling with a white guy for switching subway cars and then backed off and shot him. then he runs away up the stairs and they chase him and shoot him in the back off camera. he was unarmed.

what you guys forgot about all the media coverage of this? all the riots, lootings, and canceled sports, and celebrities speaking out on social meda?

[Chi_archie]

It was in Feb of this year. the guy's crime was crossing in between train cars on the red line.... and that is a daily occurrence by many people

[fried cheese]

yes i remember the media saying how this was obvious black supremacy.

[Black Coffee]

You fellas still seem to be missing the point..

Last Month - Last Week - Today:

You continue to spend your time in this forum and in your lives discussing Black Lives Matter, cops shooting Black people, boycotts, protests, etc, etc...


Flashback to one year ago:

The vast majority of you didn't give a sh*t and were not discussing anything about black people...



And that fellas is how you know that the Black Lives Matter movement is working...

[carolinakid]

^Black Lies Matter , get it right , just think how many got new tennis shoes and new tvs this yr all free

[Black Coffee]

^Black Lies Matter , get it right

I've already told you that your opinion from the trailer park isn't respected..

You have played yourself out on this forum.. everyone here knows you are a KKK prospect/wannabe...

by that logic trump's movement is the most successful one in the history of the usa.

[gshock1]

They walked out because they want to watch Trump tonight. It's more important than their games which aren't drawing ratings.

[clockwise1965]

it does nothing Tony. It is pure posturing

[Mac4Lyfe]

Saying All Lives matter is disrespectful because you are purposely deflecting. If your wife asked you “am I pretty?” And you said, all Gods children are pretty, she would be pissed because you are basically avoiding the question/issue. Of course all lives matter but first address the issue.

If you dont think that every single damn sport in america being boycotted brought MORE AWARENESS to the situation, you are an absolute idiot.

Yes obviously news channels are covering BLM regardless of sport boycotting.

But the biggest sports in the world being boycotted in front of large audiences obviously increases the pressure on media and political figures and ultimately on police forces for accountability.

Every single additional piece of news and awareness helps highlight the issue and the problem at hand

If you dont see it

Ur stupid. Simple

Many white people are on board. Hell the majority of protesters are white. Sensible white people are fed up with bogus cops. Fed up of oppressing people of color. Also fed up with other white people that blatantly hate people that are not like them. White America has to change. Treating people like shit and less than human is wrong. God will be the judge.

Your deflecting the issue by saying BLM should focus on black on black crime. That was never their mission and you know that because I mentioned it to you before. Who are you to tell someone what they should protest? Or what name they should use? Why aren’t you protesting violence in Chicago’s ghettos? Because you really don’t give a shit.

[Okieirish]

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 reason we love sports is because its a game to take our minds off problems and get some enjoyment. Now, the players bring the problems to the game. That ruins it for me. They are destroying the sports by doing this.

If you have to explain this to somebody, that somebody is not the sharpest knife in the drawer

[Okieirish]

What's the name of that guy who died due to the knee in the neck???? Exactly! Forgotten already. No one remembers shit.

The one where they doctored up the video? They omitted that they guy resisted arrest for like 20 minutes, and was fkd up out of his mind on Fentanyl ?

[goduke]

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

It’s simple. Rich elite people dictate policy. Players leave, owners lose money or want everything to be fix they push for change. If they don’t they lose money. And nothing rich elite people hate lesss than even losing a dollar. That’s really what this is trying to do. I’m very confused why people struggle to see this

[Mac4Lyfe]

It was in Feb of this year. the guy's crime was crossing in between train cars on the red line.... and that is a daily occurrence by many people

That’s the first time I’ve seen or heard about the incident. Another example of police officers that can’t do their jobs effectively. The woman officer couldn’t subdue Bambi the deer but she’s out their trying to apprehend someone. Not fit for the job. Then it looks like she shot him in the back although we didn’t see it on video.

but a lot of folks here at SBR will say he deserved to die because he didn’t listen or obey commands and he was resisting arrest. Shoot him a dozen times is SBRs response.

[JIBBBY]

Watch out for every time a white cop shoots a black criminal thug in America WHICH DOESN'T happen that often because all hell will break loose!!!

It's all a lie!!! Cops don't target Blacks any more then thug Mexicans or white worthless Meth heads. Skin color has nothing to do with it.

TOTAL LIE that we are being fed by the fake news media daily with this injustice race crap..

RUN THE NUMBERS and you will see the truth..

[jjgold]

Really really funny it was a great day

[Mike Huntertz]

7 shots in the back is excessive, don't you think?
I think the cop lost it BIG time.

It will happen again and the jocks will get back to thinking money and turn a blind eye.
This is grandstanding to the extreme.

[BeatTheJerk]

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?

F u c k that Pavy, if that dude was white/black/hispanic/asian & did exactly what that perp did he’s getting “lit up” the exact same way.

[Black Coffee]

by that logic trump's movement is the most successful one in the history of the usa.

Trump is smart.. He's no slouch... He's extremely good at business and changing narratives...

Think about this.. Trump's a billionaire and has convinced many poor people in the US that he's actually for them. That actually takes talent and a plan. Many poor people are miserable. Trump tapped into their hatred and created a cult like following.

In truth, Trump is for big business and his wealthy friends. It is what it is. Gotta play the game.

Look at the PPP loans. Poor white ppl didn't get any of that. Yet those poor whites are some of the same people that attend the rallies and are screaming Trump the loudest. Poor black ppl, poor latino ppl, poor asian ppl didn't get any PPP money either. Poor ppl got a "free" $1200 or whatever it was. That's not doing sh*t..

Kanye West's Yeezy LLC received between $2 and $5 million.
Kushner's family companies got between $2.85 and $6.35 million.
Roger Williams received between $1 and $2 million (and Williams net worth is around 25-27 million).

The list continues on...

Companies connected to major Trump donors were some of the first awarded with the PPP loans. To the tune of $659 BILLION... yes, billion with a B...

C'mon man.. this sh*t is not rocket science..

Now if some of you fellas were able to get big money from the PPP loans like Kanye, Kushner and various others did, then cool.

If not, then you may want to ask why in the hell you are voting for a billionaire that continues to make "friends" rich while you struggle?

Trump can't win with only wealthy people or big business owners. He needs those poor whites and suburban white moms to vote his way or he's done..

He’s not armed & he’s not grabbing for something in his car. He’s naked you can see everything on his person. Nothing is hidden or concealed ... so bad example.
