'Equality' tops list of NBA players' most popular social justice jersey messages

Equality for all (except Republicans, Christians, Uighur Muslims, Hong Kongese, and wypipo)!!!

The players don’t even realize what they want is equity, not equality. Pro athletes are such clowns. Can’t believe they get a platform to this extent

So the NBA players want a 50/50 equal split of Caucasian and Black players on the rosters?

create systems that are not bias based on race, education, economics or gender

In 2020 it's hard to see how the bolded are being biased against, most of the time it is education and economics confused as racial bias. The poor and uneducated tend to put a higher priority on material things or instant feel good as opposed to prioritizing education. For the most part education begets a prosperous economic situation which allows for a perceived easier life. A lot of the perceived gender bias is simply due to capitalism, especially in sports. Other than volleyball, gymnastics, and ice skating male sports have a higher revenue than their female counterparts. Outside of sports a lot of the "gender bias" is due to; either poor negotiating tactics (studies have shown women are more likely to choose security vs taking a bigger risk), skillset (some occupations that pay well favor masculine builds and mindsets), or the amount of time off taken ( studies show that women in the US tend to take more time off over a career than their male counterparts (vacation, sick, maternity...).

Nothing in this country will fix the current "system" unless people accept responsibility for their role in fixing it. The US isn't perfect, but the government can't pass a magic bill that will fix our issues. White guilt won't magically fix the US. Male feminists won't fix the US. There will always be those who get ahead in life with the same tools as others because they work harder to make it happen. In turn their kids will get a head start. Punishing that person and/or their children for not sticking to the status quo would be a true injustice.

I'm seeing that cash is how people think we can achieve "Equality." Isn't that part of the idea behind reparations?

I'd guess that the NBA players giving some percentage of their 7.7 million average salary to poor people can help make others equal in at least one regard.

The pandering is pathetic. It’s a “movement” all based on lies and false narratives. Absolutely no statistics or logic allowed.

All reasonable human beings are laughing at these idiots.

I consider myself a moderate that leans right, and hung out with family members in DC this weekend (they live there), who identify as democrats. We all agreed that what is going on is ridiculous. Surely the vast majority of people in this country feel the same way, and the media is focusing on a small number of people who have radical views.

we need to make a conscious effort to level the playing field and create systems that are not bias based on race, education, economics or gender," Paul told The Undefeated.

so title ix, affirmative action, companies giving managers bonus for hiring anyone but a white male, , colleges accepting minorities with lesser qualifications than the standard, things like that you want to get rid of CP3?

Explain to me the "systems" that are bias towards white males, and make it harder for everyone else.
