Looking forward to live sports, but any time I witness a player kneeling during the National Anthem, a sign of great disrespect for our Country and our Flag, the game is over for me!


Pelicans sharpshooter J.J. Redick, a white player who is wearing the social justice message “Say Their Names” on the back of his jersey, has long been an ally of his Black teammates and has voiced his disdain for the injustices people of color face in America, had this response to Trump’s warning.

“First of all, I don’t think anybody in the NBA cares if President Trump watches basketball. I couldn’t care less,” Redick told Yahoo Sports on Thursday night after a 106-104 loss to the Jazz. “As far as his base, I think regardless of the specificity of tweeting about the NBA, every tweet of his is meant to divide, every tweet is meant to incite, every tweet is meant to embolden his base. So [last week] was no different.”

Hey NBA resident white woke one a whole lot more of us don't care if the NBA games are played. When you limit the messages which players can wear isn't that a form of exclusion?

When you state black lives matter but refuse to say all lives matter isn't that dividing people?

How many young men who adore you and your fellow players will die every week in those NBA inner cities with long established Democrat holds on the mayors position?

JJ you are still shooting 4-18 after all these years.

The NBA is doing everything they can to make white people not want to watch them.

I will comply.

I’m sure they don’t care. We didn’t care about Obama’s NCAA tournament bracket.

Problem is...their political antics don’t just upset POTUS. It pisses odd a lot of fans.

I'd rather they just not allow dumbass political messages, period. I watch sports to disconnect from things like politics.
