On Monday, Bucks guard George Hill expressed how restarting the NBA season might have been a mistake because it took the focus away from pursuing meaningful reforms to address systemic racism and police brutality.. “Coming here just took all the focal points off what the issues are. But we’re here. It is what it is. We can’t do anything from right here. But definitely when it’s all settled, some things need to be done. This world has to change.
We can tweet and talk and march but the question we all ultimately have to answer is what are you willing to give up so that someone else doesn’t have to give up their life, their child, their partner, their parent or their freedom?Colin Kaepernick gave up his career.
And it’s not like the type of pressure the players are asking the league to apply is foreign or unreasonable. The NBA has used it’s might before as leverage to promote social change. The league refused to host the All-Star Game in North Carolina for two years in protest of the discriminatory HB2 “Bathroom Bill,” which singled out members of the transgender community and limited LGBTQ+ protections.
donnovanbennett And what was that powerful message? People like you donnovan get it and do a excellent job. People like Kane are making this about there brand. I support blm . And have protested on the injustice. Keep up the good work donnovan
donnovanbennett I get why their doing this. But, NBA owners have already committed $300,000,000 to racial inequality. Just under 10 mil per owner. Are the players willing to match that?
donnovanbennett I'm genuinely curious, what is the BLM endgame here? if all sports are cancelled until things change, what exactly is this change you want ? And don't give me some generic vague answer, i mean what EXACTLY do you want ?
donnovanbennett Why don't they boycott it until the changes are made...could take 10 years...but if you spout your mouth off for the cause...then do something for it...or would you miss that paycheck
donnovanbennett I am so incredibly proud of these players using their status as a platform to take a stand. IStandWithYou BlackLivesMatter

donnovanbennett And before these walkouts no one new about the message? Unfortunately these will not help with anything other than maybe help each player feel they are doing something.
donnovanbennett Hopefully the Canucks stand with NBA and refuse to play. Vancouver should be s leader in this fight.

donnovanbennett Shut up and play. Protest on your own time.
