I haven't walked in his shoes, but I'm guessing that just because he has amassed generational wealth, possibly, it hasn't necessarily changed what impact his skin color may have on others.

Well, only Cutler seemed to get along with this cat, but a fair example nonetheless.

The words of a man apparently no longer good enough for the party.

"My district has elected me 13 times," DeBerry said after a House committee meeting. "Not just because I'm John DeBerry or because I'm a Democrat. But because they agree with what I fought for and what I stood for."

So it appears. Maybe Lyndon LaRoche  will run and win.

If LaRouche runs and I'm DeBerry, I'd challenge him to a live debate.

It’s kinda funny to me that you say that. If the NBA disappeared tomorrow it would have zero impact on my life whatsoever. It’s as relevant to me as underwater basket weaving or synchronized swimming.

In fact I can’t even think of one person I know offline that’s big into watching the NBA.  But that could just be because the Bulls have sucked for so long.

Now I know it’s important to a lot of people and obviously the league commands enough viewership to ink huge TV deals.

But I think with this current limbo sports are in, a lot of people are realizing sports aren’t and shouldn’t be the focal points of their lives as they had been before COVID, and it could have a long lasting impact on the sports economy. Upsetting the fan base that pays their insane salaries by refusing to do their jobs isn’t going to help much either. 

If refusing to play a basketball game would truly have one ounce of meaningful impact on the situation they’re boycotting, it would be different. I’m just pretty sure it doesn’t.

You sound like my Trumper family members who can't believe Nancy Pelosi is speaker of the house because they don't know any democrats.

You've come to this conclusion based on nothing other than gut feel that "a lot of people are realizing sports aren’t and shouldn’t be the focal points of their lives as they had been before COVID" but the NBA ratings for games have been higher than before COVID - all that would take is a 20 second investment into a google search

https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/tv-ratings-lakers-clippers-shoots-big-numbers-for-tnt-as-nba-restarts-1234722650/

I wonder if this board is just a troll to see if I will look shit up for people.

The ratings are due to a phenomenon called pent up demand...and we already have a precedent for my hypothesis. His name is Colin Kaepernick.

Would you like me to link the dozens of studies and polls that support my take?

While you’re doing mental gymnastics trying to compare me to your Trumper relatives in Missouri I’m about 7 steps ahead of you

You appear to be contradicting yourself in a couple of spots.on sports. On the one hand you say people have gotten used to tuning out sports, then you cited pent up demand and baseball being the only game in town for its spike in ratings. Yet, it is NOT the only game in town as basketball and hockey are going on. Additionally, from what I saw when Goggling, the ratings for the NHL are up overall, even though the games on NBC proper are actually down.

I think some certainly not all people were getting used to not having sports at some level. I think for most sports fans it created some pent up demand. Baseball started up a little bit before hockey and basketball so no it’s not the only game in town anymore.

The point I was trying to make is that right after a bunch of people realized they can survive just fine without sports probably isn’t the best time to do things that are going to alienate portions of the fan base. I’m looking at it from a pure business/economics/human behavioral standpoint here. It really doesn’t matter to me what the players want to do. I don’t think there’s any American left that isn’t aware of the message they’re propagating, however.

The NBA was already having some issues, apparently per one of the articles, due to sucking up to China at the beginning of the year.

Let's see what happens to Urlacher!

I just read about it and don’t really have any issue with what Urlacher said. Obviously it wasn’t going to be well received in this current environment but I didn’t think it was that inflammatory. Looks like everyone is falling all over themselves to cancel him though.

I bet he’s excited to sit down and have Rashied Davis, a black man who has amassed generational wealth by playing a game, talk to him about oppression and injustice.
I haven't walked in his shoes, but I'm guessing that just because he has amassed generational wealth, possibly, it hasn't necessarily changed what impact his skin color may have on others.

Of course, but you kinda have to chuckle at the whole idea of the thing.

Urlacher’s statement, based on my research, appears to be 100% factual. 🤷🏻‍♂️
