The NBA's hypocritical stance on doing business with China in spite of their terrible human rights record leaves them with no credibility whatsoever. So screw the league and their opportunistic entitled players.
Are you saying that unless NBA players aren't willing or able to save the world they shoudn't try to help those from their own communites, close to home?

Just because it's simple doesn't mean it's not extremely difficult. Ingrained habits like smoking are very hard to break.
Exactly. It's a difficult path. The first step is to accept each other. Black, white, brown, yellow, pink... We are not there yet. And yes works need to be done on either all sides.

We need more Andre Agassi who donated millions to build an actual physical schools for the poor.

I agree. They might care about these social issues but not as much as their wallets. They are the bitches of the owners, always will be.

At 118 millions I would be the bitch of anyone too ;)

NBA, NFL and Soccer player will always support such mouvement as BLM because most of them grew up in these poor and violent area's. And most of them are black. They know a bit more how it is, even if they now make millions, then most probably all of you commenting here.

How about being consistent for starters.

Or how about appealing to the rioters to stop looting and destroying property. Like Mr. Blake's parents did. Or going back some when Rodney King said the same thing during the L.A. riots. That would have an impact of their communities because they might actually still be standing.

How about cops stop brutally killing people, black or white, needlessly, over and over, so it doesn't fuel any of this stuff.
They didn't file charges against those Minneapolis cops that killed Floyd until people took to the streets.
Funny what motivates the system to do the right thing, don't you think?

And still, they keep doing it over and over.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi overthrew a nation without firing a shot. You think about that.

You mean like this where the people just started looting and assaulting officers over false information blaming a cop for suicide of suspected murder with gun.

You need your head examined if you think this is legit.

Bow down to your hive mind master and just bee 🐝 their mindless bot 🤖

When are you going to stop being an enabler and start being part of the solution or are you too far unconscious to realize what’s happening here and what’s right and wrong what’s up and down anymore?

Also how about holding the BlackLivesMatter.com organization accountable for their actions and have them be open and transparent where all the money that gets donated to black lives matter cause actually goes to?

Big expert on Ghandi, are we?

The Brits threw independence on India and Pakistan as quickly as they could after WW 2 because they feared it would turn into another Ireland. You know Ireland?..... The place where the IRA waged a multi year terror campaign to drive the British out in the early 1920's?

Ghandi was just the polite, socially respectable figurehead that the Brits could do photo ops with.

They are enablers that refuse to take accountability of their leadership, platform and influence supporting an organization like Black Lives Matter that says they fight for just causes but not holding them accountable for violence, destruction, rioting, looting, all the violence, looting, and crimes committed in this organizations name.

How can you support this. They are given free reign to do whatever they want with an open check with 0 accountability because they say Black Lives matter.

What are you a BOT 🤖 stuck on auto repeat key trigger words and refuse to acknowledge reality?

sorry i should remember you only take direction from your fake news media aka propaganda tool overlords CNN and company

Ngo is a notorious career right wing "provocateur" who will say just about anything to generate clicks, mostly total BS.

There are 100's like him, a few successful - for a while - most wannabees who want to climb into the top spots.

If you don't know the difference between a barnacle like Ngo and a real journalist, I suggest you start paying attention.

Why can’t you focus on an event like the looting and police abuses happening in the past 24 hours in Minneapolis due to misinformation. There are multiple sources covering the same story. But you decide to deflect, tangent, troll off topic because your overlord terb master aka Frankfooter tells you Andy is biased and sets up these incidents so this is all you not mind focuses on. Can’t your think for your self? Are you even capable of introspection and critical thinking outside your paradigm lock?

It’s hard to believe but I’ve heard that a lot of NBA players live paycheck to paycheck. Not a shock they came back
Likely families friends possee's come out of the woodwork when these young KIDS sign a huge contract not to mention the agents who want their 20-30-% cut or more
