They literally tell them to "shut up and dribble"

Some do no doubt

But that is also because they get paid millions and millions of dollars and then turn around and say they are similar to slaves and team owners can't be called owners lol GTFO

Hmmmm, not sure I agree....

GOYA CEO supports Trump..... people who don't like Trump boycott GOYA

NBA supports BLM..... people who don't like BLM boycott NBA

Isn't it the same?

Supporting the sitting POTUS is a lot different than supporting a terrorist organization...

I do get what you are saying. The big different is those boycotting the NBA couldn't care less if the NBA stays around. Those boycotting GOYA want them to cease to exist.

So you are wanting to silence them?
 
Don Lemon's interview with Jacob Blake's mother on CNN. Watch the reaction of the lawyer when he hears the question being asked at 1:17. Also, Lemon realizes that the protests/riots are hurting the democratic party and is calling them to cease, but not because of the damage,violence or destruction taking place. He might win the upcoming "convenience matters" award for the month of August, but there are staunch competitors lurking in the wings.

If you buy a car with mechanical problems, you take it back or trade it for more reliable transportation. Everybody gets stuck with a “lemon” sometimes. Unfortunately, Don’s mother didn’t have that option.

I have rarely agreed with Whitlock, but in this matter I completely agree. I find myself agreeing with him often these days, which gives me pause. What is going on in 2020. The apocalypse is coming

One possibility is that when he talks about mainstream events related to sports he normally plays the role of the person who needs to say things which make you go hmm, but in this case he seems to put that side of him on pause mode and is just speaking from the heart.

I had no idea he was sick either.

Colon cancer at 43. Diagnosed at 39! That's still a pup for some.

50 is the suggested age of colonoscopy screening, and 40 in those with family history (or 10 years prior to immediate family diagnosis, whichever is earliest). I haven't convinced my mother to get a colonoscopy despite being well beyond the age of even the most conservative guidelines. It really sucks seeing somebody diagnosed at 39. Wouldn't even be on anybody's radar to screen for that earlier. He was just hitting his stride professionally.
