NBA Commissioner Wants Players to Ignore Their Personal Beliefs, Carry On White House Tradition...

[fortyacres]

Aslong as Lebron and Steph Curry dont go i dont give a damn.

Word to Craig Hodges.

As long as they don't put players backs against the wall and force them do it via ultimatums, fines, suspensions etc, I don't have a problem with what he's saying. It should be the players choice.

I rather them go, use the platform and let their voices be heard, feelings be felt.

Silver really just looking out for his product and don't want a bunch of young rich niggas poking the bear. But fuck all that scared talk.

Aslong as Lebron and Steph Curry dont go i dont give a damn.

Here @fortyacresacoon go...

Bad part about this, is now ANYTHING black athlete or celebrity who goes to the White House now will be called a coon, completely ignoring what has been historically the case.

Was Eazy E a coon when he visited the Messiah of the modern Republican party, Ronald Regan?

Was Common a coon when he visited Barack "Not president of black America" Obama?

If the answer is no, then maybe we should be more precise in who we label a shoe shuffling negro.

You guys act like its only black athletes who are threatening not to gonto the white house for various reason.

Women Sports Teams , Hispanic athletes in baseball etc , gay athletes , white athletes are all threatening not to go because on his vitriolic campaign other presidents did not antagonize or provoke entire communities, Trump did.

and white house visits are not a platform for athletes to talk , 9/10 time you stand there as the president speaks and they give him a sporting present and the coach usually showers the president with praise and thanks , which Trump at this point hardly deserves.

Nobody blinked an eye when tom brady refused to go when Obama was in office

I was just going to say that. Had he said otherwise, you'd be looking at a full blown player strike.

No we wouldn't. These nba niggas soft as baby shit.

Here's hoping whichever teams win during his time choose to make a point that can spark conversation and change.

 

[Go figure]

Hes not forcing anyone just saying they should carry on tradition n keep going.

The nba is pretty progressive to where i dont think there will be strict rules regarding this.

But they also like to prevent unwanted attention before theres a chance for it to take place as well.

 

[Maximus Rex]

The hypocrisy is at an all time. Players should be good niggas and go "skin and grin," and look hella juiced behind an unrepentant racist white supremacist, but the Association pulls the All Star Game from Charolette because the state doesn't want mentally ill sexual deviants using the same bathroom as women and girls.

 

[So ILL]

Word to Craig Hodges.

First person I thought of. I hate he got blackballed out of the league, him and Abdul-Rauf. I think it would be cool for one of these stars today to use the celebrity to bring awareness to different things, but they're pacified by those checks smh.

 

[Mister B.]

Silver just checked these negroids real early.

I wouldn't say nobody

Some Cubs players skipped the White House.

Black people don't care about white women, gays, and whites who refuse to see Trump. None of them will be called coons.

Our plight is unique.

Heard only Lester missed due to family funeral

 

[VulcanRaven]

This was strategic and hypocritical. Y'all keep falling for the bait though.

 

[D0wn]

Blk ppl are fucking stupid... niggas are really gonna boycott a president of the country they're living in??

"if u fuck with the president, you're a coon"... how does that make sense???

who's pumping this shit.

he's the president, we better make some demands. especially after 8 years of giving Obama all sorts of passes for not doing shit...
