Maybe so, mac, but I would love to take a very large wager on this not happening...

No NBA this year... That's like saying no more veggies with dinner. Dang....
And as for the announcer who decided to walk off the show in the middle of the broadcast. I would can him immediately and see how much solidarity he feels with the players then. Unlike them, he is not promised a multi million dollar contract whether he plays or not. Want to see how sincere these guys are? Pull their paychecks and see how much they support the cause. If they stay true to the cause, more power to them.. I would respect that. As far as not playing, I could really care less.

I think rather than demonstrating, the NBA players should get together and write a declaration for all NBA players to sign and promise to abide by....things like teaching and demonstrating how to be when dealing with law enforcement(what makes sense, what doesn't), not fathering anymore illegitimate children to grow up in broken, fatherless homes, to quit using drugs of any kind, to promise to take care of their money and not go broke as so many have, to not promote the gangster lifestyle and wasteful spending so common with NBA players(two hundred thousand dollare necklaces, ten cars, huge diamonds, etc.) and to give a certain percentage of their salaries every year to families in need and kids, programs, and positive organizations in the inner cities, working with the police and doing things like ride a longs with police departments, seeing the real thing, just not p r stunts, to go around the country speaking about racial harmony and respecting the police,.teaching pride, individual responsibility, , working with cities to prevent the crazy numbers of murders, black on black crime, and general lawlessness of the inner cities . patriotism, not division, and finally, any other positive, not negative programs that they would be able to sponsor in the off season,, ...... not just talking about things, endlessly..... sitting down, threatening, and wearing shirts.
We know the NBA and NFL players are never, ever going to do anything like this, but just imagine. How would the public, including minorities, react if they did.

I'll never understand this but now I hear that Ole Miss is pullin' the same crap, walkin' off the field, not showin' up for practice and the like. the Dean oughtta cancel their scholarships on the spot and tell 'em all to get gone and then he should tell the coach to form a new team....out of students who want to play ball games....
These young men are breaking their word even as you were writing this response, as well as staining forever their honor,......and you want to them to let them sign yet another contract after showing the world that their word ain't worth a cup of spit?......nope, cancel their scholarships and send their asses home and not even let them get on campus again.....in the Pro teams, the owner should just not sign any more checks, trespass 'em all and send them packin'.....mac
