  • The NBA released a statement saying quote, “A central goal of our season restart will be to utilize the NBA’s platform to bring attention and sustained action to issues of social injustice.” Lakers' guard Avery Bradley responded to that by telling reporters quote, “regardless of how much media coverage will be received, talking and raising awareness about social injustice isn’t enough… Protesting during an anthem, and wearing T-shirts is great, but we need to see real actions being put into the works.” Hear why Skip Bayless believes that Avery Bradley is becoming the strongest voice of the NBA coalition.

    Shannon brings up Bill Russell name as an argument which is weird. Apparently he did not see Bill Russell Documentary "...MY Life, My Way" where he encourage players on his team (Boston Celtics) to not play because he felt he would generate a louder voice, when he and others blacks were refused service at the players hotel. And even after the head coach resolved it they refused to be later served because the hotel said they would only serve players. Russell wanted change for the community and did not play, along with the other black players, and received major coverage (at that time) as media discuss why they did not play. You can't bring up the summit and gloss over what brought Russell to the summit.

Does anyone believe that the Roger Goodells or Nancy Pelosis of the world have changed their minds? They don't care anymore about this movement than they did six months ago. They are afraid that they can't undermine it this time from the outside. They are afraid that they can't ignore it and not pay a political price. So they will co-opt it. Water it down. Make it about something that it is not..then destroy the fabrication that they have invented and pretend that there is real change. I hope all professional athletes boycott until we have REAL change and not some slippery promise from the people in power who did nothing before to advance the cause.

    I think bringing attention is the first step, and this is point the players against playing are trying to make. There's already attention focused on the issues. Now, we need to maintain pressure to get actions taken to address the issues. Live games will detract from the moment and give people something to focus on other than the issues.
