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

There's 330 million people in this country. I'm sure some injustice happens every day but it's the most justified society in the history of the earth. In the case of the WNBA they benefit from privilege. They did not make it onto the tv screen on their own. They are the beneficiaries of welfare

Yes they are and I actually love women’s sports due to my daughter being a good athlete and loving them.... The problem is that watching them you can tell the talent level is so much less than the men that they couldn’t beat a good/decent high school men’s team.

In all seriousness though, I don't care. Does anyone really care what the wnba does? It is a terrible product with minimal support. So let them commit career suicide

Not only do you reject the right for minorities to want to protest the way they are treated by white society you want to criticize whatever method they choose to signal that protest

But there ain’t no racists on this forum

You realize freedom of expression does not grant you immunity from freedom of opinion regarding that expression? The logic of "disagree with minority=racist" is beyond juvenile. That horse was beaten to a pulp for 8 years with Obama and it carries zero weight now.

Welfare is an interesting term to use here. Yes they don’t exist without the NBA taking the loss. However, I would argue, the NBA is investing their money in it for a reason. Could be for the positive PR or many other reasons. But that’s not really welfare. It means the NBA sees it as a good investment for now. That’s not welfare.

I see little outrage, most of the outrage I've seen was directed at ESPN and rightfully so. Other than that most of what I've seen can best be described as apathy.

And it is clear systemic racism will continue to exist. George’s death under the knee of a cop will have the same effect as those deaths from bullets in their blacks or a woman being Murdered in her home and all the way back to the Rodney King

No one has ever reported back as to what their revered Maker had to say to them about their white supremist attitude here on earth
You know that mid-eastern brown skinned Maker

Call it what you want, They're not earning it on their own. By your thinking the Fed gov't paying out welfare checks to the poor are doing it for a reason: to get votes and to stimulate the economy. Why quibble over terms here? We both agree on what's going on.

I can only speak for myself but skin color means nothing here. In fact I don't even know the race of the players who walked out. That part of the equation is irrelevant. I am color blind on this issue. I hope you can attain that level at some point
