What professional athletes would do if they truly cared

Professional athletes are serious about making “real change” to policing? Ok, here’s an idea, quit your “profession” of playing a kids’ game and become a police officer. Dedicate yourself to becoming the change you want to see. Rise up through the ranks and instill the policies and procedures you think are best. After you become nationally known for what great change you made, travel the nation and teach other agencies your ways.
Or you can keep shooting hoops, going to strip clubs, and bitch like a woman on her period every time a cop in a tough situation makes a choice you don’t agree with.

They have the means to support candidates in local positions that can bring the "change" they say they want.

They aren’t smart enough to be officers
They were basically given passing grades throughout high school and college. If they couldn’t put a ball through a hoop they would be mopping gym floors, flipping burgers, selling drugs, in a gang, panhandling, sucking cock, working at a gas station, or delivering mail for USPS.
Or in prison

Always follow the money. If there's no money to follow, then there's nothing much to be said. Words are free and cheap. Anyone can talk the talk.

I think the only one of those things they would be qualified for is working at USPS.

A good start would be the $500 million in public funds the Milwaukee Bucks took to build their arena. That and a few million from the players would go a long way towards ending poverty, homelessness, drug addiction, broken families, etc. in the Milwaukee area. You know, the root cause for criminal activity and the general crappiness of the hood.

Meanwhile, cops were all Rhodes Scholars.

Wasn't Shaq a police officer at one time?

Compared to the double digit IQ of NBA players , cops are Rhodes Scholars.

Super small sample size, so grain of salt, but the two guys I know who went on to become cops are quite possibly the two dumbest individuals I’ve known. Like, legitimately concerning that they would be entrusted with those responsibilities.

Now do the pro athletes you know

I don’t believe I know any pro athletes well enough to comment on their intelligence. otherwise I would have mentioned them.
Posted on 8/26/20 at 8:17 pm to TotesMcGotes
Totes, do you support the players’ boycott?
Posted on 8/26/20 at 8:24 pm to NIH
That would depend on where it goes from here. It’s kind of pointless to comment on a movement before seeing the results and decisions made after Step 1.

They can't be dumber than Lebron James.

Make sure to have a bunch of kids with different women and get behind on child support too. Buying cars and jewelry is more important and looks cooler on Instagram

We just shut down sports over a child beater with a sexual assault warrant who pulls guns on the police and refuses to submit to arrest even when it is completely valid

I mean they literally just quit playing their sport in the most crucial moment of the season to support their beliefs
