Will things get really ugly when some NBA players sit down or kneel during the Anthem?

    Most likely everyone will have moved on to the next fad by the time the NBA season opens.

    It would be nice if some basketball players would come out and speak the truth about BLM and the lies the movement is built on instead of doubling down on stupidness like Kaep.

    Sort of like the GOPs racial politics game over the past few decades then.

    Guys, do not be confused; this is cml750, not carmelo750. He's ready for somebody to actually go against the grain of everything the most visible stars of a predominantly black league have said they stand for over the last year.

    Or you could stop expecting people to conform to your ridiculous viewpoint. BLM has its problems without a doubt, but the movement exists for a reason and if people like you prefer to ignore that reason and just label those people as racists or unpatriotic instead, then you're just going to see more of this type of stuff like with Kaepernick.

    You wouldn't know the truth if it beat you in the face with a bible 50 times.

    But don't worry, I'm sure that one day players in the NBA and NFL will agree with you that there is no systematic racism in this country and that the group trying to stop that racism are the actual racists. Keep spreading the good word!

    That's WAY too much to expect. I think it might even be pushing it just to ask them not to be douchebags.

    The truth is there is no way in hell an NBA player will be denouncing BLM this season, so your dreamcasting is a bit ridiculous.

    The top 5 endorsers Manning, Brees, Manning, Rodgers, and Watt.

    So the face guys of the NFL are different than the general NFL population.

    cml is what happens when you ignore facts in favor of dogma. Much like Bobby, he refuses to believe information from judicial findings, DOJ findings, police study findings, employment study findings, housing study findings, banking study findings, etc. Too bad there's no Bible prophecy on the subject to convince him.

    It's so strange - why do all black people think there is systematic racism and bias against them?

    Must be a black thing.

    It's an easy scapegoat, why did the Germans believe that the Jews caused all of their problems 80 years ago? Same reason. People love a good scapegoat.

    Yeah, why did the Jews complain about racism? They are just scape-goating. Jews needed to toughen up during WWII and stop whining.

    There is no such thing as racism. Blacks are just making stuff up because their genes are inferior. You are right Bobby about black people being lesser and more criminal in nature. Cops need to get more medieval on their arses, not less.
