I find it hard to believe anyone would be against ending racism.

 You do? At least 30% of the country is actively trying to keep it alive and well, maybe more.

Exactly. I don’t care about a players race, personality, or opinions.

 

Do your job, entertain the the fans and go home.

 

Celebrities and Athletes have one objective, to entertain. Nothing more. As fans, we sometimes confuse them for role models when really all they are are sell outs. Lebron for example. 

Athletes have the right to THEIR opinions as well

Apparently not. I don't think they were invited to the 'critical thinker' meeting either. Sounds super exclusive.

It’s not just me, but millions of intelligent, critical thinkers who see this for what it really is.  
 

It’s a warning and it could save the sport. Change now before it’s too late. This is a slippery slope, politics and sports don’t mix. 

A slippery slope to what, exactly? What’s the endgame in your “intelligent” mind that you conveniently dance around?

You just proved my point further.

Right now I am calculating it at bout 40 percent which is sad

[K-9]

Did the just read that racism doesn’t exist in the USA? 
 

Is it any wonder we are in the state we are in?

In their personal time, I agree. Don’t bring it on the field, especially during our national anthem. 

Who are you to dictate how they exercise their opinion?

Or else what? That's really the question.

 

They have brought it onto the field and certainly during the sing song. They are going to continue to do so. Now there will be end zone messages as well.

 

So there. Its happening. What now?

You should man up and stop watching sports so you don't become a sellout like LeBron.

*clears throat* What?

So, you aren't opposed to politics in sports, just the ones you disagree with.

I think what really bothers mooks like this is that athletes have a platform that THEY dont.....and so they dont want to see it

 

Yet it is perfectly acceptable for the sitting president to use the White House lawn as his bully pulpit to lie, degrade people, and lie some more

That is precisely the problem. You believe something doesn't exist, without evidence, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

I am just wondering how you can be a critical thinker without looking at both sides of the issue

 

but then......he probably votes for someone who is a self proclaimed "very stable genious"
