I am a fan of NBA basketball and I love the Lakers. Having said that, I couldn’t care less if LaBraun James ever plays another game in his life. He’s an idiot that the game would be better off without.

Then he shouldn’t play..heck none of them should play. Haven’t watched basketball since they closed it down and honestly, even though Im a die hard Laker fan, I havent missed it..so sick of these douche bags running their traps about racism meanwhile they make over 100 mil for 3 yrs to throw a ball into a hoop

Blacks not fighting with the police is what is needed at this moment. That and prosecuting rioters and arsonists.

“Don’t play and give back the money you are being paid for playing.”

It states in the article that the players are not forced to go to Orlando and if they don’t they will not be paid.

“There is not a unified feeling among players about the restart. It is a personal decision for each player. Players do not have to report to Orlando and will not be punished, although they will not be paid for that time.”

And I agree with them. There is a racial problem in the US and it is both ways. Needs to be a sit down talk with leaders of both sides to do something positive. And it takes good people to say business as usual with something so far from the problem that is well down the stimpmeter to correct it. He and Irving could be a couple of men that might be good sources of understanding and workable.

Most kids these days are all in for shooting up other kids on video games. That doesn’t leave any time for watching sports on TV, like when we were young.

Originally invented to keep college athletes active during the winter.

Promoted to burn off energy of school kids so they wouldn't be so hyper in class.

It's a child's game.

It's entertainment.

The US will survive it's demise.

I agree with no professional sports—until the anti-white institutional and mass media racism ends.

Sure! There are some great payers who also do some great charity work too. Clayton Kershaw comes immediately to mind. Yes I'm a seam head.....

MLB has for the last several years been getting attention because the number of African-American players (i.e. blacks) has been dropping. Many more Latins and even Asians coming into the majors. Black kids would rather pay hoops I guess.

Other MLBers:

Juan Soto Nationals
Max Scherzer Nationals
Justin Verlander Astros
Jose Altuve Astros
Corey Kluber Rangers
Mike Trout (the best payer in BB) Angels
Shohei Otani Angels
Aaron Judge Yankees
Nolan Arenado Rockies
Carlos Corriea Astros

I could go on....

When we were kids playing pick-up football, we always identified with current NFL players. Same in sandlot baseball. Those days are gone. Gone with the wind....

There's never really a time when it's needed. It's at best a diversion.

Somehow the country got along just fine before the invention of "professional" sports.
