It appears the NBA/Pelicans have lost a considerable amount of season ticket holders due to BLM position. 37% season ticket non-renewals who are permanent. A lot of suites also have not renewed due to BLM position. Thinks there will be some massive layoffs at the end of the year.

What are you / your friend saying?...people aren’t renewing tickets because they disagree with the nba / pelicans wanting equality for everyone and not being scared to show it?

If that’s the case..good...those people should fcuk off and not attend anyway if they think there’s something inherently wrong with showing support for something socially correct.

You think everyone opting out is a racist that disagrees with the movement?

I’ve never claimed to be a boycott person. The messages don’t bother me. But some are tired of being bombarded with politics and whatnot in every aspect of life, no matter their position

I do really wonder what bothers these people so much about BLM...what actually, really upsets them about social equality for all?

Must be fantastic, ethical people for it to piss them off enough to throw their toys out the pram and go

‘WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I’m not watching basketball anymore because WAAAAAAAAAA.... I hate people protesting and for people with a voice (mainly black sports people who still get subjected to it) to support the movement WAAAAAAAAAA!

People watch sports to get away from the bullshite of life. Just look at ESPN, which went full SJW years ago and has been hemorrhaging viewers. Get Woke, go Broke

Sports is part of life...and by participating in the movement..using the massive platform for people to talk about it...otherwise no one talks about it because they’re too busy watching sports.

Not saying OP is right but BLM is not about “equality for everyone”. It’s a Marxist hate group that have taken an otherwise innocuous statement and attack, sometimes violently, anyone who disagrees with their worldview.

Did they survey the non-renewals or is your friend just speculating?

That's the thing though most people who say the phrase "black lives matter" aren't talking about the BLM organization they're talking about black lives. This whole "BLM is a Marxist group" thing is being used to discredit people who actually care about black people. BLM may well be a Marxist group but there's a difference in supporting that group and saying the phrase "black lives matter"

Go to BLM.com & read over their website. It is a Marxist organization that is set up to be a money laundering scheme for the Dem party. When you click donate it takes you to ActBlue Charities which give the money out to causes backed by the Dems like Joe Biden for President, Greenpeace, Southern Poverty Law Center, Center for American Process, etc. Basically a who's who of the far left causes connected to the Dem Party.

In their mission statement it reads- "We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable".

This is all right there for you to read & that is just one of them.

Leagues openly supporting & donating to things like this could be why normal hard working God fearing free thinking Americans might not like being shouted down to about not supporting.
