    Did you know 6% of the population, black males, are responsible for almost 50% of your countries murders? Mindblowing. Can i hear your case for these senseless murders and killers?

    Lebron is everything wrong with society? The guy is one of the most charitable athletes in pro sports. You bitch about fatherless kids yet hate on a guy who has been with the same woman since high school and is very involved in his children's lives. A guy who despite being under a microscope his whole career, the worst people said about him was he switched teams (the horror) and did a tv special which gave millions to charity.

    The weird thing is people who endlessly support a sleazy reality star who had to pay 25 million in education fraud for running a scam "university" hate on a guy who has literally spent millions to send kids to school.

    That's great, he should stop dividing the country with his racist stance and victim mentality. Too many fatherless kids look up to him. I'm worried.

    Lebron is just following orders from the Commissioner.

    And how many more times likely is a black person going to shoot a officer versus a white?

    If the black community wants to portray a gang/thug culture, you get treated like one.

    There is a growing section of America that is run by emotion and a narcissistic desire for attention. The numbers for their "cause" don't back up the narrative.

    They are athletes. How many of you thought highly of the academic prowess of the high school basketball team? They're just grown now. There are some exceptions but for the most part athletes spend an inordinate amount of time honing their craft not studying the effects of Marxism and Socialism or understanding the detriment of the mob mentality.
    Stop whining and complaining about the NBA and Go watch Waterpolo, Lacrosse, Rowing or Curling if you unhappy with the sport. You are trying to deceive people presented a distorted version of history but people aren't falling for your Tom Foolery. America was founded on protest that was what the Declaration of Independence of 1776 was all about, but you don't want people to know that you just want people to wave flags and watch fireworks on the 4th of July.

    Declaration of Independence.
    "In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

    Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends."

    Unarmed white guys comply?

    If a white male rapist fought cops off him. Fought through a taser. Ran off to grab something out of a vehicle that can't be seen... Officers would shoot that white guy too.

    Funny people said the same thing about Muhammad Ali and Martin Luther King. Still scared when black men voicing opinions you disagree with or don't match your fairy tale of what America should be.

    Lebron is not about true social change. If he really wants to promote equality, he should cancel his $40 million endorsements from Nike. They and other shoe companies use workers in Guatemala working in horrid conditions for $0.20 per hour or less. Let's see Lebron and other pro athletes take a stand against this and I will respect them more. This decision will cost them a lot of money though. These cats don't actually do anything that undercuts their own money prospects.

    I may be ignorant but I also don't see what postponing or even cancelling these games will do. Raise awareness? Ok. People know this is serious. At least reasonable people do. The unreasonable ones don't care and won't care regardless. And players earning less $ than these superstars are really the ones who lose if this gets cancelled. Lebron the billionaire doesn't give a shit.

    Also do they realize that this NBA bubble has kept many otherwise depressed people entertained during this COVID shutdown? Ironically them not playing could lead to more crime, overdoses, suicides etc.

    Muhammad Ali, MLK, Bill Russell... those are guys that actually went through shit and they were largely right.

    These are just a bunch pampered and whiny children that never grew up.
