, the real-estate heir employed by his father-in-law b implied that these athletes are entitled. “NBA players are very fortunate that they have the financial position where they’re able to take a night off from work without having to have the consequences to themselves financially,” Kushner said, mentioning one of the striking leagues that has plenty of black players. “So they have that luxury, which is great.
As he did later when he said he wanted to meet with superstar and activist LeBron James — moving quickly to turn this into a reality show — Kushner then put the onus upon the NBA players to concoct the very remedies that they seek. “I think that they’ve put a lot of slogans out,” he told anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin. “But I think what we need to do is turn that from slogans and signals to actual action that’s going to solve the problem.
These athletes are indeed grateful for the lives they built, as evidenced by their desire to continue them without interruption by bullet, nightstick, or any other weapon of the state. But whatever Trump has done, as well as his predecessors, has brought us. It is therefore absurd to ask black people, rich or not, to be thankful for an America where we stand to be the victim of such a disproportionate amount of violence and prosecution from law enforcement.
What do I mean, exactly? That’s actually a question that the willingly deaf offer, continuing to ask what’s behind the protests when everyone who listened to them knows.read by Bucks team members hours after their decision was announced, they called upon citizens to vote in November. But before that, they want Wisconsin’s state legislature to reconvene from its August recess and draw up new bills enhancing police accountability for incidences of brutality.
Could white people getting unlawfully shot by the police be getting covered up, by the police etc., especially seeing that the police are into 'unlawfully shooting people?' ... Therefore, it would be proper to reference all 'people' 'equally!'

They should be
Fact
Then stop airing the games on television.
Who are they striking against?
Oh really?😂😂😂
Ahh that's good I didn't plan on watching something that was not entertainment. Politics and sports should not mix ever. Just as religion should not be used in politics. These items must be talked about separately from each other.
I never considered a sport athlete an entertainer
All athletes are. It’s their only job.
JamilSmith ...how did this article completely ignore the WNBA, whose dedication this season absolutely paved the way for the NBA’s actions
✊🏽
JamilSmith 💯 I am Spartacus
oh god...............
They are paid to entertain us just like you’re paid to have stupid opinions.
Giannis is not the only black athlete. Has he become a symbol of something more?
Ya they are , thats what sports is - entertainment . Big dummy
Then spend more of those millions to help communities and mentor youth. Walk the Walk. Simply saying, then they are just taking their toys and going home.... weak.
On the court, field, ice or pitch. All athletes are there to entertain the fans... that’s it!
I suspect the author is not aware that we are now talking about 200 and 300 million $ contracts. I don't give an eff what race they are but for that kind of money?
:D
I mean, they kind of are; they are paid to play sports, and people pay to watch them do so.
Thats the job...please get us ones that will entertain..thanks
They also inspire us.
I would say that the MLB, NHL, NBA, NFL, NASCAR, WWE...are without a doubt, 100%, unequivocally forms of entertainment. Whatever the colour of their skin, athletes in pro sports ARE in the entertainment business. To suggest otherwise is just being naive.
AgNews_Otto Yes they are
They are also supposed to win athletic awards for their teams.
Yes they are here to make millions of dollars too. Rubbish
💯🙏🏽
