Of course it is wrong. Of course it needs to be dealt with. Of course we need reform on the local, state and federal level.
But I'm also under no illusion that a bunch of millionares issuing social justice statements is what real change is.
Real change is generational. Real change is almost ALWAYS done on the local community level. Standing on a pedestal and boycotting a rich man's sport is not enacting real change.
If the NBA (or NHL) really wants to enact change, they should have have outreach programs to help those in need.
Oh wait, the NHL also does. I'm sure the NBA does as well. But despite the fact that these leagues have literally changed the lives of millions of kids, we ignore that part, and accuse them for not doing 'enough.'
