I happen to be a sports bettor and huge basketball fan along with being a very political person. I will not express my views till I get other feedback on here.

Completely juvenile. Acting like children that cannot stand up yo peer pressure. The only reason most are doing it is they lack the courage to stand up to teammates- they are afraid they won't be liked anymore. This is called insecurity- despite their $ and fame. Sports is about entertainment, and competition- should have nothing to do with politics or social causes. I quit watching them due to their support of BLM. I agree that Black lives matter, but I abhor the organization that calls for violence, destruction, and burning Bibles.

Well it does appear from reporting that the other Lakers and Clippers stood up to Lebron and Kawhi who both wanted the season shutdown. The role players are in tough positions and I am sympathetic to them. The new discrimination in many work places is being anything but toe the line liberal. I have no problem with people using a platform, but have concrete ideas.@LonelyMan

@southbeachguy When they start showing as much concern over all the innocent lives, including children that are murdered daily in Chicago, New York, Baltimore, etc as they do whenever a WHITE police officer kills a black man- THEN I'll pay attention to them. Until then, it's just puppets spewing the "party line".

@LonelyMan we need some sympathy towards the treatment of blacks by police, they need some understanding they create tons of their own problems. cultures matter
