NBA's Hilariously Ironic Dilemma

[Donn Beach]

Well they beat the russkies in Moscow, and so did Italy. Interesting, Italy has a pretty good record in basketball

OKC Thunder tie the series.

I think all the social justice shit in sports is horrible - you don't end racism by putting "End Racism" in the NFL endzone. That shit is designed to create division and emphasize race. I see the players mostly as going along with everything to maintain their marketability and not get blackballed from the league. Plus most of them will be ignorant to a lot of things, because they'll be so focused on their sport. If you pay a guy millions of dollars to play a sport, then you mostly won't have to worry about him speaking out against anything.. he will go along with whatever the league says. Their agents will coach them accordingly.

Big Pharma is another fun aspect of watching professional sports. You also get advertisements for alcohol and military propaganda.

Hopefully, the Pacers will regain momentum at home in game 3.

I just shake my head every time I see that, they might as well put "End Greed" or "End Lust". No racist is going to read that and go hmmm, I think I should stop being racist. This isn't something you tell people to stop doing, this is something that society has to gradually grow out of.

I think you're correct but I don't think the message was aimed at racists to not be racists. I think it was aimed at non-racisists to challenge racism, don't be apthetic.

That's a great point too. How about End Murder?

I was more focused on the idea that bringing attention to race doesn't help. Black History Month does not help. Basically, these types of things subtly say that these groups need help and aren't able to do it by themselves.

End Racism endzone is a mockery of the fan also, because they're basically a bunch of white guys watching black guys play football. Like just give me a normal Seahawks endzone please. What they do just stokes the flames of divisiveness. It reminds the liberals that the big problem is racism and it pisses off the conservatives who wish the NFL wouldn't to that shit. Nobody asked for social justice endzone phrases.

It is called virtue signaling. It is the Progressive way to let you know how to think and behave. It shows they care more than you do. I have figured out that Progressives call out what they are doing and then blame conservatives for doing it. Who are the most racist people as a large group? Progessives. If you are not following them they will cancel your ass. So End Racism is the NFL virtue signaling that they are not racist...which is true if you look at ownership and leadership positions through the lens of Progressivism. Now, normal people know the NFL is not racist but is the ultimate meritocracy based team sport.

Game 7 tonight

[mostonmike]

Fair play to the lead commentator when the buzzer went. Used the carefully worded and subtle line, "For the first time the NBA Champion resides in Oklahoma City." At least he demonstrated a little respect to history. He could easily have spouted nonsense that disowns everything before 2008.

That was cute, funny how kids can sleep through anything

Tyrese Haliburton pulled a Kevin Durant. Pushed the calf injury, so he could play in the NBA Finals and ended up rupturing his achilles. He was on fire also. He was I think 3 for 4 from 3-point range and he was shooting from way downtown. 5 minutes into the game and he goes down and has to be helped off the court.

Tough to watch OKC win a championship and Seattle still without a team.

How many years until the Thunder have to travel to Seattle and the Supersonics win the game? How many of us will live to see it?
