"Tough" NBA players react to Trump winning the election

Trump will be too busy winning to have them at the White House anyway

Kerr really pissed me off

"I am afraid because, he hasn't said what he will do"

What the frick? He has been campaigned on policy the whole time, that's a bullshite answer. Thank the media narrative for that one

"Hard to walk in a room with my wife and daughter, because trump has basically disrespected them this whole time."

His fricking campaign manager is a woman... If he hated women that much you think he put a woman in charge of his campaign?

I bet that an NBA player who is a Trump supporter is afraid to speak out. What does it say about the NBA when a player is afraid to voice the "wrong", unpopular opinion?

---

So you make an assumption someone is afraid to speak out, without any evidence of this, so that you can justify some criticism or the NBA's culture.

And all this talk about slavery and being victims. Basketball was invented by a white man.

The slavery talk is ridiculous, BUT I don't know what James Naismith's race has to do with it.

I mean clearly there has been an absurd overreaction to the outcome, and people will get over it and go on with their lives. But I'm sure there would have been some ridiculous overreactions if Hillary won too.

Because with out James Naismith, who knows if these guy are doing for a living. They wouldn't be banking 7 or 8 digit salaries.

The point is that when a white man create something that these players benefit from, it's cool.

But when a white man do something they don't agree with, it's racist.

Don't bring your facts in here. We have emotions to let out.

Just another reason not to watch the NBA.

Well yeah.

Muslims invented the numerical system that we use today and were major contributors to early Arithmetic and Algebra, not to mention a number of other scientific achievements.

So since I happy benefit from their work, does this mean I can't be critical of the bad things Muslims have done?

Frick these idiots. White, black, frick them. WTF do they know or care to know about politics and what this election has done for the citizen that drives this country. I can assure you that we'd be just fine without professional athletes with the IQ of my 4 yr old. The working man from the very top to the very bottom just won and that's alllll that counts. Plz plz take your talents over seas. Last I checked basketball is very very popular in China

And actually, math originated from the Greeks. Pythagoras, Zeno's paradox, pythagorean theorem, geometry, Pascale triangle.

Yeah. But they established our numerical system and some of the foundational aspects of Arithmetic and Algebra.

My point is that we can benefit from the contributions of person A, but that doesn't want can't criticize person B, who has nothing to do why person A, except for some characteristic.

I don't agree with the slavery stuff regarding professional sports, but the race or Dr. James Naismith is irrelevant to the issue.
