Exactly. All these responses by liberals and Democrats are emotion based. They don’t think anything through.

Every single registered voter has a polling location to vote. Just get up and go vote. Nobody is holding you back. If it’s raining And you have to get in line so what? The guys on Omaha beach didn’t let the rain stop them. And yes, everybody has a photo ID. Anyone who doesn’t probably shouldn’t be allowed to vote because they are obviously incompetent imbeciles. It’s not that hard !!!!

I see nothing wrong with giving Americans an opportunity to vote. Show your ID, cast your vote, participate in the process.

That’s a good thing, bro.

Can u imagine the outcome of having a arena full of dindu nuthins of their character packed in one place with no cops . They’re not going to get the outcome they want . A parade in Nawlins is not free from the gangsta crap

I fully agree, but All Americans already have the opportunity to vote....
The NBA obviously doesn't think so. They have never offered their arenas in the past, why now?
It is clear that the NBA, and other sports leagues, have chosen to become a political platform for the left.
All sports leagues are losing so much support due to irresponsible leadership....and they seem like they don't care. Sad days for this great country, but we will rise again.

One of the inherent disadvantages of being on the right is we are not very good at organizing. Probably the increased level of personal responsibility makes us less likely to band together...i dunno.

I have no idea why conservatives have not figured out to use places like Tractor Supply, Bass Pro, etc. to register people to vote and offer those places as potential polling locations.

Just a small increase in rural voter participation could turn almost every battleground state red.

Yet, according to another thread, only 20% of NBA players are registered to vote themselves.

Preach it, brother. The so-called "voting rights act" should be rescinded and stricken. Dumb arses who are illiterate should not be allowed to vote, period.

By the way, there is not a single word in our Constitution about voting qualifications. That was left to the states themselves to decide.

They keep appeasing these idiots and they’re going to ruin the league. Next will be “demanding” minority ownership, minority coaches, minority commissioner. This is nothing about justice for a lifelong criminal, and only about lashing out at people in charge to feed the communist agenda. The whole bunch of them are useful idiots for the left wing anarchists. LSU players included.

Adam silver and owners should notice how Blm is treating all the politicians and community leaders that have done nothing but pander to the protesters/rioters.

It's going to come down to who has the best get out the vote effort. And we have to look at demographics. And who can target their demographic. I'd target the largest persuadable group which may not be the population who would use the area's. Any effort from the NBA has to be countered with an effort to target a more favorable group. The African American population is only 13% in this country.

It is.

They desperately want the owners to “do something” but can’t articulate what and realized when the executive director of the NBA Player’s Association talked that any walkout would cost them millions immediately and going forward.

The arena offer was probably a compromise offered by the owners before these idiots demanded that the owners personally pay for a massive Biden PAC out of their pockets.

And why do you think the president is all for the NBA and the other leagues having voting centers?
Forces people to go vote in person. Another argument against mail in ballots.

With the exception of my now faint interest in major league baseball (the Atlanta Braves in particular), I lost interest in all pro sports a long time ago. My interest in college sports (the Georgia Bulldogs in particular) is evolving that way too. It's amazing how much better my health and well being is due to my many miles of hiking the great trails here in the Shenandoah Valley instead. I have befriended many great people on the trails. Can't really say the same in sports bars.

Let me see, vote for change says all the leagues including the NCAA.

But voting for change means ousting the 100% Democratically controlled cities that have been the home of 100% of the situations that caused the “protest”. Not one Republican in sight anywhere yet somehow or another Trump is to blame.

Clown world.
