NBA Has Really Triggered Trumplicans Tonite with BLM in Opening Games

[Stallion]

NBA has made an unmistakable statement of support in favor of Black Lives Matter and apparently a lot of white folk on twitter "will never watch basketball again". Funny there's also a bunch of bots that appear to be from black authors supporting the same complaint. Its pretty wild on twitter tonite

I'm a "white folk" and I've never understood how you could not support the BLM movement if you liked basketball (or for that matter football or baseball)

We need a hashtag perhaps #GoWatchHockey

2. Haven't watched basketball in years...

never really liked it TBH. Not my game.

But if it pisses of the Trumplodytes, I guess it can't be all bad.

6. I Like College Sports Much More But...

although the student athletes feel the same way they unfortunately feel much more intimidated by BigRichAlum that run all college football and basketball programs. BigRichAlum have much greater leverage over the average student athlete. BigRichAlum goes ballistic when even the few minority members of the Band kneel during National Anthem. In the NBA the players who are millionaires can't be controlled like the student athletes

11. I'm haven't watched Nascar in years. My Bubba Wallace shirt should be here in a week or so. :)

To give Trump cult worshippers the finger, I figured it was worth it. I might even watch a few races.

Part of the reason that Bubba Wallace drives for Richard Petty? Wendell Scott was Richard's friend, and "couple towns over" neighbor.

17. My favorite. I love the speed, agility, precision of the shots, the rules are very simple

but since I am from Kentucky, where basket ball is the Official State Religon I sort of can't help it.

21. North Carolina here.

Love the game. The college version, the ACC tournament, the Big Dance. My love of all sports. I was a player in high school, and kept playing until my knees were gone in my early 60's.

3. That was beautiful. All of it. The sight of Americans of different races locked in arms as sign of

support for each other and their fellow citizens. That is a very patriotic sight to see. John Baptiste rocked that out!

16. I honestly felt almost like I was in church

All of them kneeling in unison, arms locked, heads down. I am Methodist and we kneel for Communion, to me it is very quiet and respectful.

4. Those "I aint watch again" commentsare all over baseball forums and social media posts

so much so that folks that even lean that way politically are like: OK we get it Skeeter, can we get back to the discussion here?

7. That was amazing!, and I don't follow sports

8. NBA fans are the least racist of any sport

Wouldn’t make sense to be racist and watch a game where 90% of the stars and icons are black.
And half of the white guys are from foreign countries that aren’t WASP.
A recent Morning Consult poll showed a large majority of NBA fans supported BLM.
The least support of course was NASCAR, and most sports coincided with the socio-economic status of their fans, so for example tennis was pretty good while baseball had a minority who supported BLM.

9. Wait till NFL players do it, their heads will explode.

10. Just wait until College Basketball and Football starts etc.

If it does.Your going to see an epic meltdown. With the NCAA ruling players can wear patches that support social justice.

12. I thought it was marvelous

I stood up and and did the 1968 Tommie Smith arm raise. My husband and son just stared. I also belted out “We shall Overcome” real loud today.

13. Rt!

14. My Trumper neighbors are giving up their season tickets.

Well, their loss and my gain!
