NBA Pass/Fail: Kyrie Irving Leading Players Who Believe NBA Restart Is Bad Optics, others weigh in
- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
Just saying. If they play cool, if they don't what would be really be missing during this time of the year?
I'm agreeing with you fam...
I'm cool.
I aint gonna miss baseball either
and quiet is kept?
I'm kinda cool on football college or pro this season too.
happy this brother publicly apologized to Lebron this afternoon on ESPN radio
what he said was foul and divisive
he knows DAMN WELL Lebron is doing things and is not sitting silent during all this
and for Durant to be the one to call to check him is telling
but it is still really revealing that he felt comfortable saying the bullsh*t in the first place.

Im laughing at people who will ask NBA players to not play, but wont do the same for ANY other sport.
you are NOT WRONG
ESPECIALLY Baseball
who LOVES to drag out Jackie Robinson jerseys once every tear as the number of Black players continues to disintegrate...
Hockey gave some of the all lives matter ish statements ever to pretty much crickets.
but to be FAIR?
NBA is seen as the BLACK Major sport in this country.
So they have ALWAYS had added pressure and responsibly.
So black peeps on twitter gonna put pressure on black athletes telling them all they are is a distraction.
White players in hockey arent called a distraction.
Hispanic players in baseball arent called a distraction.
Old rich white folk in golf arent called a distraction.
South Americans and Euros in soccer arent called a distraction.
No one else gets called out.
Black ball players though... Oh yeah, all they are is a distraction. Nothing more.
By not playing you keep the news focused on the protest and everything that is currently going on. Most of the NBA owners are white people that won't lift a finger to do shit unless it impacts their bottom line. The players sitting out has a big impact on Vegas and the economy. Sit out the rest of the season or until the NBA start putting pressure on cities and states to start making reforms or threaten to move the team and see how fast mayor's and government come up with solutions
Im sorry but the NBA doesnt have the clout you think it does. At least we've seen no proof of that at all imho.
like I said
you gotta except the fact HISTORICALLY and CULTURALLY
the NBA different.
thats just a fact
at this point we gotta accept the situation and just MOVE accordingly
so far as bullsh*t as these statements are?
We are seeing ACTUAL change happen
is it too late?
hells yeah
but at this point
its a Black Friday early bird 75% off everything sale
we gotta get while its HOT

Straight up
I disagree with you there
When the Clippers did that t-shirt on the court sh*t?
People are STILL heartbroken over that
when even WHITE FOLK say well that was lame?
And the fact that the BOYCOTT of games with REAL
and MANY including OWNERS admit it would have SHOOK the world?
The NBA has a STRONG presence and voice
ask Daryl Morey if you don't believe me.
Well no better time to prove this right or wrong
Actually Daryl Morey and the entire NBA had to bow down to China after his comments.
Im sorry how does that show strength?
Im not sure how the Clippers thing proved that the NBA can force change on a legal, systematic or economic level.
The NBA has a big platform. They reach alot of eyes and ears. Doesn't mean they have clout to force this kind of change. Over one missed season? Nah. Its gonna take hard work and its gonna take time.
the strength was how SERIOUSLY the Chinese government took the power and influence of a tweet by a NBA GM.
My point is there voices ARE powerful worldwide and feared
if used correctly
Morey did it wrong and the league handled it wrong
but that doesn't diminish the fact they have worldwide influence
China doesn't play. With anyone. They could have let it slide but they had fun making an example out of Morey and the NBA.
They werent scared of Morey's influence. The tweet only became a story when China made it a story.
I want mf to keep that same energy when NFL starts back up in a couple months.
That's why you force feed them that shit. You wanna watch us play cac? Here's some black history while you watch.
Hey cac, while you watch understand a percentage of television proceeds go to the black community.
Hey cac, don't turn the dial. See this add for Westbrook's Tulsa documentary.
I disagree, because we arent even talking about 82 games plus a playoff. We are talking about 8 games plus a playoff during the NFL season. NBA is losing either way.
I agree 100%. I don't know why that's not an option over not playing at all. Makes no sense.
^^^^
you think they just did that for fun?
You know I am shifting yet again...
cause now the media is killing Kyrie
and saying he aint a leader, he aint playing anyway, and yeah he voted yes in the end
but that doesn't make his OVERALL POINT incorrect.
In fact surprisingly?
I am actually leaning MORE on his side.
Why?
This white folk are attacking Kyrie like f*cking piranha
aint have NOTHING to say about Black Lives Matter though?
But now they got ALL KINDS OF BETTER IDEAS on what these black players SHOULD do to spread the message
yet DID NOT SUPPORT THE MESSAGE THEMSELVES
They saying they NEED to play
cause it will help ESPN and the American people need a distraction
and MOST IMPORTANTLY?
THEMSELVES. Give these white so called NBA insiders jobs.
The fact they CLAMORING for this demanding this and killing the messenger?
Yeah I don't like that
Even though I DO agree with LeBron and think they should play.
Once the devil agrees so wholeheartedly?
Now I gotta pause.

What happened? That llnk explains nothing.
My bad
Spears said he didn't see Lebron doing enough publicly for the cause
Then apologized after getting a call from KD
@AllUniverse17
Well i just learned that not playing
The CBA would be invalidated
Again i respect your view
Kyrie gotta get all the information before he speaks
I still think his heart was in the right place despite reports.

Is there a link for this?
And yes, anyone questioning Lebron is a fucking clown. NO ATHLETE has done more and been more vocal for black causes. To knee jerk criticize him now when the rest of these mouth service late to the party cats are JUST starting to speak is beyond insulting. Spears is a idiot.
Again my point. These guys are late to the party and are speaking without knowing wtf they are doing. Kyrie is and has always been a horrible leader.
China's government and communist governments in general pull flex moves on their citizens and their business partners... Just because they can. Just to put peeps back in their place. Im absolutely convinced China feared nothing from Morey's tweet.
When i get back I'll try to get it.
This is just a money grab for the nba to get sports betting up and popping to make a few billion ... They don't give a fuck about the players and the movement.. They just want to recoup money and possibly make more being that they will be the only show in town.. Just like all these bizz that pretty much forced all these states to open back up cause it messes with their bottom line.. They don't give a fuck about lost of lives but loss of dollars.. Kyrie spider senses tingling and he senses fuckery afoot and yet nigs chastising him cause he don't want to go back in the fields to pick that cotton cause the slavemaster wants more profit
