Because their message is good

Besides, there are plenty of countries that allow players to be millionaires

Once again....a Boston team and the players do things the right way.

Celts players must not have big shoe contracts because the big guns like Jordan have avoided political stands because it might interrupt cash flow. These players have no problem cashing their massive sneaker paychecks created by exploiting child labor in foreign lands and selling $150 kicks to youths in inner cities.
Will Kevin Durant interlock considering he printed "All lives matter" on his $30 million / year shoes

I wonder what players who plan to sit will do during the Canadian anthem when they play the Raptors. There must be some racial problems there...?

The NBA is not the NFL, this anti cop crap will drive away fans. They went on strike for a year and nobody cared, they might be killing the golden goose.

FWIW, I don't think this is anti-cop.

I hate what the idea of sitting down for the anthem. I think it's disrespectful, and it's not the proper vehicle for a protest.

This strikes me as a more positive, hopeful statement. I'm OK with it.

Because their message is good

They're following & promoting a false narrative.

Race Card thrower! You are the racist. How dare you disrespect minorities in such a blatant manner.

They are on a fool's errand against a false narrative

no players will sit in NBA, its part of the rules to stand, so they will express themselves while staying within the rules

I think it was positive

It's not.

Why are you trying to turn his comment into something racial?

He didn't say anything about race.

What you posted was pure ********.

 

[Bobsyouruncle]

At least they found a way to draw attention to themselves, that's the most important thing.

Who said anything about black folks? This is what lefties do - bring race into a topic and blame the other side for being racist...well done!
