| Topic | Republicans: Why can't they peacefully protest? |

If you're going to talk about disagreeing with that stance, then you are talking about disagreeing with the stance that racially biased police brutality is bad. That's not a strawman, that is the literal meaning of what you said. OhhhJa posted... I'll keep watching sports as I have been but I'm not gonna pretend that I think these athletes actually give a s*** and arent just doing it to keep their brand intact. Or maybe they all just simultaneously decided they care about police brutality? Given how many NBA players grew up in lower-class black communities (basketball being a popular pastime in such areas because it's one of the cheapest sports), I'd be willing to wager that considerably more of them are personally invested in the issue than you seem to think. It wasn't so much a simultaneous decision to care as it was public opinion reaching a point where the executives running their teams were willing to let them protest in such a manner. --- This is my signature.
