"(another coronavirus victim)"

It is NOT a victim of the Wuhan Virus. It's a victim of racist behavior by NBA players, coaches, and owners. No one wants to watch racists playing in sports games.

The most deadly virus in this country is the Democrats, not cornoavirus ... ratings are crashing due to the “Dementiacrats” & the Leftist ilk fomenting violence and enabling “privileged” sports types to throw temper tantrums & make politics their sport, rather than the sport itself. Who in the heck wants to watch that? No one in my family.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

From Rush Limbaugh:
Now, I was reading Football Morning in America today. It’s a weekly column by Peter King, who writes at an NBC website now, Football Morning in America. Had a segment today on watching on TV, how the game, the National Football League will look different this year. And I’m just gonna read to you what he wrote.

“Nike has made a T-shirt that players can wear in pregame warmups. It’s optional. It’s the brainchild of Houston safety and NFL Players Association executive committee member Michael Thomas, and designed by Vogue Wilborn of the NFLPA.” Players Association. I don’t know what the T-shirt is. There’s no picture of it. It’s during the pregame, nobody’s gonna see it. Well, I take that back. It’ll be seen because they’ll videotape pregame. It’ll be seen.

End zones. In the normal ebb and flow, the end zone has the name and city of the home team. Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Jets, New York Giants. That’s out the window this year. In one end line it’ll say, “It Takes All Of Us.” The other end line will say, “End Racism.” That’s what everybody watching an NFL game will see on the end zones this season.

“Coaches and game officials will be able to wear patches on their cap with the name of a Black victim, or with one of four messages: ‘It takes all of us,’ ‘Black Lives Matter,’ ‘End Racism,’ ‘Stop Hate.’”

Again, coaches and game officials will be able to wear patches on their cap with the name of a black victim Jacob Blake, George Floyd, or they can wear a patch that has a message. There are four messages the players and the officials can choose from. It Takes All of Us, Black Lives Matter, End Racism, and Stop Hate. “Each week the NFL will select one victim’s name and tell the story of that person in and around the games. As for the helmets, players can choose either a Black name or one of the four preferred phrases offered: ‘Stop Hate,’ ‘It Takes All Of Us,’ ‘End Racism,’ ‘Black Lives Matter.’”

So you’re not gonna be able to escape, no matter what you’re watching during the televised NFL games this season, you’re gonna be unable to avoid either Stop Hate, It Takes All of Us, End Racism, Black Lives Matter, or the name of a black victim somewhere. And Mr. King says, “Far and away, expect to see ‘BREONNA TAYLOR’ as the most common victim’s name on the back of helmets.”

Oh yes, we CAN escape, by not watching this ‘hot mess’ described above. I think a lot of fans are going to adopt their own slogan “Just Say No”.

Maybe the NBA should move to China.

Great idea. First time they kneel for the Chinese Anthem, they'll be shipped off to re-education camps...

The purchasing power of that 23% is probably 40% or more of the total.

That's viewing this with an economic eye. Well done!

It’s a nice quote, but Larry Bird never said it. It’s an internet fake.

Cuban has certainly been mute over the overly physical play directed at Luka Doncic. IMO, Luka is the future of the NBA and the Dallas Mavericks.

Obvious to me that Cuban's running for President in 2024, so he won't say anything against a black man, while telling us white folk we're the problem.

I hear the the word NBA and I immediately think of LeBron’s face. That does it for me.

Apparently, younger players in the NBA have similar feelings about LeBron. They don't like the way he considers them beneath him in stature.

He's become Oprah of the NBA, and a total turn off (literally).

Tried to watch a game over a week ago.

Turned it off after only 10 seconds after seeing "Black Lives Matters" in big black letters on the floor of the court.
