Maybe it’s because I’ve never been much of a pro sports fan but I have zero interest in watching the NBA this year. A lot of it has to do with how political it is becoming (just like the NFL).
Still reduces the risk of exposure overall, so it makes sense to me. Riding a motorcycle is dangerous and increases your risk of brain damage but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take the precaution of erasing a basement.
Playing is but sitting close on the benchis more of a risk.
Since the players have largely benefitted the most from a systemically racist and privileged system I must not watch them. This would only reinforce my privilege as a white person.
Maybe the players are standing up for those that haven’t, as you claim, benefited from systemic racism. Some people aren’t all about themselves all the time.
Well, my original post was “social justice messaging”, but I changed that because I thought “political messaging” would a) be less likely to spark an argument and b) focus on my opinion of actual basketball instead of other things.
