Just starting on this thread.... so please excuse me if some of these things were already discussed.
1) when I watch sports - I want a break from politics and the such... this is not the place for it. I won't watch the NFL or NBA anymore, so now I'll add the NHL to that for awhile at least.... playoffs are over for me.
2) Why do these players feel that I care what they say about politics - I don't. They are millionaires and pretty privileged.... if they want to give something up personally for this cause... well, I may listen then.
3) They just boycotted or "cancelled" themselves... this makes no sense... and what does it do regardless of what people think about the cause - delaying a few games does nothing for the cause... absolutely nothing. Like knelling for the national anthem.... it does nothing, you knelling for the national anthem for a country that has allowed you to make millions... if not for the USA, all these players would be making much much less - it's just not very productive.
4) I think maybe people should wait on the investigation before rushing to judgement on all these cases.... can anyone name even one unarmed white person killed by a cop.... because there were more last year in the USA than unarmed black people killed by police, now, I really could care less about the color of ones skin (but it seems like some do) , if a cop kills anyone without justification, then they should be in jail for the rest of their lives - it's that simple. Not to mention, more cops have been killed since the outbreak of all this than the cases they are angry about - more cops killed because of this madness (black cops too!) - don't we care about those lives?
