Mayne they didnt blow it. Attention is usually the desire in that business. Aka, there is no bad press.

ESPN blew the story so badly that I really do wonder. Seems like they'd know whether the music was actually playing or not before they Tweeted.

I think so - which is really surprising. Listening to the announcers, it sounded like they had been informed what was going to happen beforehand. Plus, you could look at the video and see people moving around on the floor that would have never been happening if the anthem was playing. Somebody at ESPN really blew it.

As Its Popularity Wanes the Subsidized WNBA Now Walks Out On the National Anthem

They claim to be opposing oppression but they operate from the purest position of privilege.

As we have been speculating for some time our sports landscape is growing into an intolerable cavalcade of activism, and that is now seeping down to even the unwatchable sports. We have it on good authority that the Women’s National Basketball Association is still an ongoing enterprise, all evidence to the contrary being recognized, but it appears they are striving to become even less consequential.

There’s really only one element of society that attend their games and they don’t respect the flag or national anthem anyway.

Did you really watch it to begin with?

Anyways, why are you people still so fixated on something that goes on before a kids' game when your country is burning down, your economy is spiraling down the toilet and your rights and liberties are being eroded away? You would think that a silly azz flag or song before a game would be the least of your concerns right now.

You are saying there is no racial injustice in the US?

I am saying there is injustice and justice. You either receive it or you dont. Having to imply some additional description to it is redundant and for bottom feeders.

Then you go to the US part of your ignorant question. Again, bottom feeder.

You didn't answer my question. You have a lot of gall to call something ignorant.

  • Black students are suspended and expelled from school three times more often than white students are.
  • 20The median wealth of white households is 20 times that of black households and 18 times that of Latino households.
  • 7 in 10Seven in ten blacks said they are treated less fairly than whites are in their dealings with police.

- Oddly, nearly the same rate at which black people commit more violent crime. Weird.

- And? Just more of this Marxist argument that any sort of racial inequity is just veiled racism. Inequity is not racism. Aside from the fact they fudged the math. White people do not make 20 times more than black people. Why not use the average instead, which is obviously a more accurate indicator? Oh right, the number wouldn't be high enough.

- How would blacks know how whites are treated by the police? They wouldn't. The poll question makes zero logical sense unless you believe black people are omniscient. You can thank the media for this one. Fun fact: Polling data from the early 90s suggested black people viewed the police in a similarly positive way as white people prior to the Rodney King riots.

And so on and so forth.

The "systemic racism" crap only holds up if you believe people are responsible for the sins of people in the past that looked like them, or if you believe all inequity is injustice.

Both of those are absurd, and so no, systemic racism is not real.
