Kirby Jackson Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 All 3 games are off today. This is MASSIVE. The Raptors are talking about leaving the bubble. We are at a turning point for this country. Strong words from someone I respect: 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bferra13 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Its cool. Ratings are down 20% from last season in the NBA with basically no competition and people with nothing to do as it is. I'll continue not to watch. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they are standing up for sexual assault survivors and domestic violence survivors 6 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 The NBA leads again. They’ve taken the hard road to demand change. They’ve used their enormous platform to fix OBVIOUS problems in this country. If you think that sitting silently while an unarmed man is shot in the back 7 times is the best option you and I aren’t going to agree on much. This is a peaceful stand against injustice by some of the most powerful people in this country. That’s how change happens. 8 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy also had a knife and he reached into the car after being tased and fighting with the cops and the cops did not know what he had in there so they shot. a female was sexually assaulted by this guy a month ago and he violated a protective order. Here’s what should be learned from this. Don’t sexually assault women. He never would have had a run in with the police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he would have just surrendered and answered some questions he would be good right now. Once someone attempts to reenter their vehicle all niceness goes away.

Standing up for something important is better than burying your head in the sand on everything!! Everyone is going to relate to causes closer to home than things that they don’t experience daily. The Bucks started this today. There is a well-documented story of Sterling Brown on the Bucks in a scary situation with police. We all relate to more first hand experiences. Give me the guy that stands up for A RIDICULOUS INJUSTICE all day before the people that ignore it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
