Standing up against racism isn't "politics being forced down your throat." Never surprises me when redneck ass southern conservatives feel this way.
I bet someone will bring up China. Do I wish they spoke out against China too? I do. But two wrongs dont make a right.
I'll probably relocate to the Mavs subreddit where the fans are younger and more progressive. That old Harrison Barnes should preach to Luka thread was an eye opener to how many batshit crazy fans we have.
umm I’m from nyc with a graduate degree but I love the stereotype saying that I’m a red neck. I do not support BLM because they abuse people because of their choice of profession. Not racism per se but it’s the same idea: generalize a stereotype about a specific group of people then throw rocks at them. Anyways I’m against supporting political propaganda in sports arenas. Simple answer for me; tv has an off button.
