Conservatives are such Snowflakes
How dare they refuse to spend money on things they don't like. Next thing you know they'll be refusing to go to movies they don't like and not listening to music they don't like. The cads.
Let them keep their money. Just stop ******* whining and go watch the NCL. (National Curling League). That way their feelings wont be hurt that people are fighting racism.
"Keep their money" is the fastest way to rendering most of these leagues largely irrelevant in America. Long before that happens, however, the protesting will be stopped, as the owners care more about money than the feelings of the players.
The only ones irrelevant are you whining *****. No one gives a shit what you think. Let me know when the owners are going to stop anything. You got a date?
When their wallets take a hit. What, you REALLY think those rich white liberal owners care about the feelings of the players and will support them even if they lose revenue? Lost revenue, I might add, that ultimately results in lower player salaries.
You didnt give a date. Cant you do anything other than whine and ask hypothetical questions?
I don't need to give a date because I never said there was a date. You're the one insisting there has to be a date. And no, I do not believe it is hypothetical to ask if you seriously believe the rich white team and league owners care more about the feelings of the players than they do their own wealth. Why don't you answer that?
The white owners have no choice. What are they going to do? Lebron and the other stars will tell them to shove it up their asses. Its not like they would be hurting if they were unemployed for the next decade.
The team and league owners will not operate at a loss, no matter what Lebron and the other overpriced stars demand. If they demand too much, the owners will let them walk and they will find that massive meal ticket hard to get from the other teams.
They'll just start their own league. There isnt shit the NBA owners can do other than work with the players and hope they stay in business together.
"Start their own league". Oh, brother. How much of a league could Lebron and crew put together without the billions already invested in infrastructure, marketing and merchandising and TV rights and which of them would accept getting no net income to play? Or do you think the Lakers would just let them use the Staples Center on alternate Tuesdays? They can start their own league, but would blow their fortunes and make very little by comparison, if anything at all. No, they know very well that if they want to stay on the gravy train, they'll have to find accord with the owners, and the owners are not going to operate at a loss. Bye-bye, extreme salaries to play a game if they lose the fan base.
Black players would play basketball for free. You forget Lebron, Jay Z, MJ, and a host of other wealthy famous superstars could put a pretty good league together right off the bat. The networks would be begging to advertise and televise it. Sorry but the owners are not dumb enough to **** themselves when they can go along with the players wishes and continue making a profit.
Oh, brother, Play for free, now that's a reach. If that were the case, there would be no mega multi millionaire black players, because owners would know they wouldn't have to pay much at all or anything to get them to play. I mean, why pay the next Lebron tens or hundreds of millions when you know he'll play for cab fare to the game?
And I said the owners will not operate at a loss. Did you think I would miss that you said "continue making a profit"? My scenario is specific to when they stop making a profit. That's when salaries drop and entitled superstars go begging for contracts elsewhere and can't get them. Now, you say they could start a really good league and networks would be begging to televise it. Why would they when they're already seeing reduced viewership with the current NBA? Also, where would this new league play? Who is going to build the Staples Centers for the new teams?
