    That's it? I consider that a win considering the massive effect COVID has on game attendance. How is NASCAR and Baseball doing?

    Professional athletes should just shut and what they are being paid to do. If they want to protest on their own time, fine. If they do it at game time, their whiny asses should be fired and they can go look for a real job.

    It was a given.

    The concept of Black Lives Matter is just redundant to All Live Matters or saying just Black Lives Matter is actually taken as be strictly a racist statement. It infers that Black Lives Matter more than others. You may argue it doesn't but that is the way others hear it.

    Has anyone been wearing shirts, or carrying signs stating 'All Lives Matter'?

    If not, I wonder why not?


    Seems appropriate, no?
    Have you always been such an ass or is this a recent thing?

    Actually, I thought we were promised that we were all waiting for sports. I think the impact is much larger than the down numbers show. We don't even have someplace else to be as an excuse to miss the games.
    I'm watching sports. I have watched the PGA. I watched The Kentucky Derby. I can't wait for College Football but if they pull any stunts then I'll find something else to do. I did the same thing after the strike years for the sports so it is not just the BLM. Once you take away from the game with a distraction then I am distracted and have something else to do. Even if they say no more protests then I am still not going to run back. I am distracted. Two and a Half Men reruns are on.

    Nope.

    "All Lives Matter" simply means all lives matter. Nothing more. Nothing less.

    While I imagine some people use All Lives Matter to degenerate the BLM movement, I don't believe that the majority who use ALM have bad intentions. I think Martin Luther King, Jr. would agree.
