..and also the phrase "entertained by" implies the black basketball players are akin to captured slaves pitted against each other (like Roman times), and not multi-millionaire-top-0.1%-rich-list-professional-sportsmen.
In order to become part of the solution, white fans need to stop participating in systematically racist institutions. As most of these teams are owned by white mega rich owners and employee / oppress people of color, as fans our social responsibility is to stop contributing to the oppression of minorities by watching NBA games or any other sports both live and on TV. As fans, we also need to stop purchasing any brands that are exploiting athletes of color to sell their products.
The real question we should be asking ourselves is why a disproportionate number of black men are in the NBA. Why is there not equal representation of all races and genders?
The last 2 mvps who had back to back mvp titles are born outside of America. Luka is close as well. The word wide game of basketball has never been this strong. It breeds better competition. Fragile people get butthurt when they are left out.
Why? From a cultural standpoint, sports are often dominated by lower class people whos only potential pasttime is that sport. Basketball courts are abundant in inner cities (or driveways) and is a large reason why all the bball players are black. Until the US fixes its class structure, the nba will always be 95% black or whatever it is
Black people, playing professional basketball, made more money in one single evening then 90% of the white people who paid watch them will in a single year.
You can't fucking win, bro. POC clamber for white support, then white people try to show their support as allies and then get shredded because it's actually offensive somehow. POC clamber for equal representation in movies and ads, and then when they do, they're saying they're just the token black people and that it's disingenuous. White people are demonized for not speaking up in support of black people. But then white people are told they do not have the right to speak to, on, or about black issues. White people can't have BLM signs apparently. You should kneel in solidarity, wait, kneeling is racist. Somebody got attacked because she had a "choose kindness" sign in her yard. They made that racist and classist somehow. You literally can't win. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Because it is and always was just about the fact that they hate you from the very start. Thank your European ancestors for fighting and dying to build a life for their descendants who gave it all up because we are afraid to be labelled a racist. Most pathetic and first self-inflected genocide in the history of mankind - because these trends are exactly where this leads. It is math.
Wonder what the world would look like if white people stopped working the following day each time a black person killed a white person. I don’t think white people would ever have to work again.
21 people were shot in Milwaukee right after the Bucks game, but since the perps were black, the media doesn't give a fuck, and instead focuses on bullshit like this.
The NBA needs to change their logo, it's a white guy playing basketball. They either change the image to multicolored, or get rid of it altogether. Do I need to emphasize the sarcasm here or is that understood?
"People of ALL races were entertained by athletes of ALL races (majority was black) and ALL of the athletes are rich. Rich and not rich is what makes us different in their eyes. Not our melanin".
Yes please. White people. Stop making black people wealthy. Your whit privilege isn't fair. No go check yourself. Your season tickets at the door to someone else. Don't buy anymore. Cancel ESPN and do anything you can to eliminate giving them money. You're a disgrace. Also, get some white guilt, will you?
Let’s face it guys we should just let our wives fuck black guys we become gay and our kids become transgender.. maybe we get a Nintendo switch out of it
Does anyone even watch the NBA anymore? I thought I read something awhile back that there was a big decline, I can't recall if it was covid related though.
These platforms are not designed to make money but, like modern art, to launder--in this case to launder under the banner of liberalism the plutocracy's perpetual psyop and gaslighting of the 99% by any and all self-contradicting means possible. It's like surrealist theatre: bombard them with extreme absurdist statements simultaneously from left and right and the plebs will never know what hit them: they'll mistake the artificial war of absurdist contradictions for some sort of genuine societal argument, to which they must likewise partisanly subscribe. Meanwhile the bankocracy coupled with the energy cabals are deciding every actual significant aspect of their lives.
This is why I don't watch most sports, as tragic as it was why not other tragic events. It just becomes a political performative action, no longer entertaining.
how about all the other mass killings that go unreported. talk about cherry picking the data to brow beat a certain demographic and remove all their rights.
Weird how they care about the slavery from 300 years ago but not the modern slavery in China. Shoot I have my sympathy for the Irish and Sri Lankans and actual modern day slaves way more than I do people who are manipulated by the same intelligence agencies that have done nothing but destroy their communities and families since the Civil War ended, while pointing too the other side screaming they're the dangerous racists.
Yea I would say that the outlet is mostly reaching on this one. That said, in most societies of the past, the lower ones were always the ones in combat sporting, not the wealthy. Sure you can bring up the Aztecs and other warrior cultures but they still weren’t consider the high class. Also, was just thinking about this, anyone ever seen a Rockafeller or Rothschild in a professional combat sport?
Disgusting. I’m tired of this narrative that all whites are evil and racist, I’m a white guy and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been cussed out and almost jumped in bars and clubs just for being white… because apparently being white nowadays means your evil. its fucked up.
How come when they found out the black guy in sub away shooting was a racist they stopped reporting the story. Actually as soon as they found out he was black it was off the news. Same as the black guy that ran through the parade to kill white people or the black guy that shot a kid in the head
Race politics is the worst. As a non American, it’s gets on my tits. I can’t imagine how annoying it must be to actually live there and have this shit all the time.
I feel like as nut jobs as conspiracy theorists are, they at least know that this racial crap is to keep us entertained. It's not even about black lives matter. It's rich vs poor don't you forget. Blm is just a media movement.
When one black kid got killed by police man the nba world went into shock now a whole grocery store gets shot up aint heard Shannon Sharpe mouth or Stevie na Smith on the topic what's the problem
No doubt, but in actuality, we’ve lost %60 of the First Worlds population. Another %20-30 will follow the bigger tribe (survival?), which leaves us with %10-20 of the population. I like to think I’ll be part of the %10. At the very least I know I’m not with the 60. Who knows, time will tell. Either way, nobody will remember my name. See you at the barricades bitches.
[Meta] Sticky Comment
Could also be: “Millionaires entertain mostly poor, working class people after the deadly shooting”
Yeah the article’s author must be under the impression these dudes play for free. They are some of the most privileged people in our society.
yeh wtf what is supposed to happen? Either:
..and also the phrase "entertained by" implies the black basketball players are akin to captured slaves pitted against each other (like Roman times), and not multi-millionaire-top-0.1%-rich-list-professional-sportsmen.
I choose option C. The whole thing is a false flag narrative only pushing the agenda towards a new world order.
If you move out it’s white flight. If you move in it’s gentrification.
Both of those sound much more racist lmfao
Parzival1127
I died reading this comment 💀
Okay fine, let’s compromise. Only black people can play and only white people can watch. Happy??
Maybe we need to make non-colored folks sit in the back of the stadium and also on the back of the bus on the way there
In the spirit of equally or to fight the white man they’ll bring back the negro league
White people and every other race should stop watching these woke sports. I stopped watching NFL as soon as i saw Kapernick take a knee..

all outcomes are racist
Deadspin is the worst. Bills fans are racist for not supporting Tyrod Taylor. Fuck you, Magery.
Him and OG deadspin guys left years ago.
Hey hey hey…I’m from buffalo, and Tyrod sucked. go bills!!
I've never even heard of Deadspin
Good. Your life is better that way.
I bet NBA players don’t share this opinion. Without the white audience/fan base their salaries would shrink by about 90%.
Black fans were entertained by White athletes the day after a racist killed White people in Waukesha. This is what black supremacy looks like.
White fans buy tickets to support black athletes. This is what a nice world looks like
That’s deadspin for ya. They are part of the gawker family.
Gawker Media hasn’t existed for years. All of the Deadspin staff from that era left and started Defector a couple of years ago.
So if you watch it, you're a racist. If you dont watch it, you're a racist.
Hey remember when only racists thought people were trying to start a race war in the country?
🤣🤣 yeah good times
It’s called a job…the world doesn’t stop just because shit is fucked up.
The NBA could use some more diversity in players
Like maybe some white players?
Well the back to back mvp currently is white. Also Luka is taking the league by storm by eliminating the top conteder just a few days ago
The last 2 mvps who had back to back mvp titles are born outside of America. Luka is close as well. The word wide game of basketball has never been this strong. It breeds better competition. Fragile people get butthurt when they are left out.

You heard em folks. No more whites at basketball games.
I haven't watched an NBA game since Jordan played. It's far too boring for me.
Good - tired of paying $13 for a bud light
Last game I watched, Cornbread Maxwell was playing for Boston. No $ for the NBA since.
Even the team's white owners
Just don’t watch any sports. It’s that simple, everyone wins
Black people, playing professional basketball, made more money in one single evening then 90% of the white people who paid watch them will in a single year.
You can't fucking win, bro. POC clamber for white support, then white people try to show their support as allies and then get shredded because it's actually offensive somehow.

Weird tweet especially when you consider the best player left in the playoffs is a white dude and the back to back mvp is white.
Wonder what the world would look like if white people stopped working the following day each time a black person killed a white person. I don’t think white people would ever have to work again.
[удалено]
😂😂😂
I guess black people were not entertained
This looks like satire
How can you tell anymore?
im pretty sure this photograph is from 2020 NBA BUBBLE PLAYOFFS
I'm so fucking glad I don't participate in this society farther than absolutely needed.
Deadspin are some bitches.
White people should not be able to be NBA fans
SS: DeadSpin has seemingly lost the ability to make logical statements. This kind of statement is unnecessary and 100% inflammatory.
[удалено]
ya think?
Jokes on them, basketball was invented by white people.
🤣🤣🤣appropriation of white culture
What catches my attention is "black" written with capital B
This is on purpose. If you accept it, you’re accepting microracism which incrementally progresses.
21 people were shot in Milwaukee right after the Bucks game, but since the perps were black, the media doesn't give a fuck, and instead focuses on bullshit like this.
It's a basketball league based in America... red white and blue.
My mind is a whirlwind and it won't end. Dizzy.
Wtf is Deadspin
“And we make money writing about it.”
Race war or segregation? Why do they keep doing this?
This is real?
The NBA needs to change their logo, it's a white guy playing basketball. They either change the image to multicolored, or get rid of it altogether. Do I need to emphasize the sarcasm here or is that understood?
"People of ALL races were entertained by athletes of ALL races (majority was black) and ALL of the athletes are rich. Rich and not rich is what makes us different in their eyes. Not our melanin".
Yeah they should have also canceled all hockey games after the subway shooter too!
Jesus Christ what a bunch of clowns
I couldn't care less about Deadspin or the NBA, just stop reading and watching.
Because only white people watch basketball and only black people play? Sounds kinda racist..
It's racist for them to assume that Asians, Blacks, and Latinos never buy basketball tickets.
82% now. I see the non-bots are able to weigh-in now
Typical commie crap: collective guilt on one group.
2023: “Did you watch the game the other night?”
I honestly don’t think it’s all that entertaining anymore, I stopped tuning in years ago
Can anyone explain this thinking in terms of the connection between the two things?
And they wonder why media is DYING🤣
How is Gawker still around?
I didn't know deadspin still exists.
lol wtf
Deadspin and the rest of the Gawker network was full of the worst people.
A racist, yes. A leftist, yes. This guy belonged to you guys, not us.
But... But.. He had conservative ideals
So are all white people guilty by association? 🤣
He aint wrong
Last I checked whites Play ball too and entertain
Satanic fucks
White supremacy is when black people get paid $30 million dollars to dribble a basketball 6 months a year
They are celebrating Black Lives not Black Deaths. Come on man
While people stop watching basketball games and spending money and there won’t be a league… you ever been to a game?
This is clickbait that can't be considered a legitimate news outlet
you mean racebait? yeah
Why do they always have to segregate us based on race?
It's called having no shame.
Yes please. White people. Stop making black people wealthy. Your whit privilege isn't fair. No go check yourself. Your season tickets at the door to someone else. Don't buy anymore. Cancel ESPN and do anything you can to eliminate giving them money. You're a disgrace. Also, get some white guilt, will you?
Hahahahaha
This is the kind of shit that inspires white supremacist terrorists.
That ship sailed years and years and years ago.
These people will say anything for a high ESG score.
💯
Someone at Deadspin wrote that the US Soccer team is better without Weston McKennie.
wtf is this headline
🤢
Typical
That's probably why I've never heard of them
Stupid article . I should complain that their logo is racist because it’s white
Surprised they haven’t changed the color of the logo yet
Sad
Let’s face it guys we should just let our wives fuck black guys we become gay and our kids become transgender.. maybe we get a Nintendo switch out of it
[удалено]
Who tf keeps sending all of them random screenshots of tweets 😆
Why so inflammatory? Who is the editor that allows this kind of content to be published??
Let me get my shine box
Lmao I saw this on Twitter and thought nothing of it because I was confident it was satire.
i'm confused
huh? cant i just watch basketball?
Considering those black athletes get paid REALLY well and the white people are paying to watch.
That’s right folks, everyone take a knee and start sucking dick.
Everyone has gone insane.
Sad bc I used to check it daily….then it was dead literally for a long time forgot why exactly….and now it’s a liberal take on anything but sports
Does anyone even watch the NBA anymore? I thought I read something awhile back that there was a big decline, I can't recall if it was covid related though.
Lost their grip? This is them putting their slimey puppet hands on reality and actually gripping.
So now it’s racist to watch black athletes while being white? Learn something new every day.
Segregation is cool now, didnt you hear? We went full circle
Media outlets need to start firing journalists for writing racist garbage like this.
Easy solution: replace all the black players with white guys...
Full segregation. That’s the only way to please these people.
These platforms are not designed to make money but, like modern art, to launder--in this case to launder under the banner of liberalism the plutocracy's perpetual psyop and gaslighting of the 99% by any and all self-contradicting means possible.

This is why I don't watch most sports, as tragic as it was why not other tragic events. It just becomes a political performative action, no longer entertaining.
The actual sport didn't make this statement, some crappy website did?
They lost it a loooooong time ago
This is satire, right?
Uhh.... Do they mean:
how about all the other mass killings that go unreported. talk about cherry picking the data to brow beat a certain demographic and remove all their rights.
So if this wasn't obvious to you then I'll mae it aware.
Weird how they care about the slavery from 300 years ago but not the modern slavery in China. Shoot I have my sympathy for the Irish and Sri Lankans and actual modern day slaves way more than I do people who are manipulated by the same intelligence agencies that have done nothing but destroy their communities and families since the Civil War ended, while pointing too the other side screaming they're the dangerous racists.
Professional sports = rich people mandingo fighting.
Yea I would say that the outlet is mostly reaching on this one. That said, in most societies of the past, the lower ones were always the ones in combat sporting, not the wealthy. Sure you can bring up the Aztecs and other warrior cultures but they still weren’t consider the high class. Also, was just thinking about this, anyone ever seen a Rockafeller or Rothschild in a professional combat sport?
"You watch the nba? Yeah? Oh so you're a white supremacist then?"
Disgusting. I’m tired of this narrative that all whites are evil and racist, I’m a white guy and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been cussed out and almost jumped in bars and clubs just for being white… because apparently being white nowadays means your evil. its fucked up.

Race politics is the worst. As a non American, it’s gets on my tits. I can’t imagine how annoying it must be to actually live there and have this shit all the time.
I guess they are born into it. Most of the crazy US stuff can only be taken on if you are raised in that environment
White supremacy is a bunch of blacks guys making tons of money and obtaining their dreams?
I feel like as nut jobs as conspiracy theorists are, they at least know that this racial crap is to keep us entertained. It's not even about black lives matter. It's rich vs poor don't you forget. Blm is just a media movement.
Why does the nba logo look like a man stepping out of a portal holding a frozen pizza
White fans support the black community.
I mean, we can replace all the athletes with white people or just not watch the NBA? That should solve it, right?
Fans are the enemy now......if you're white
Change the channel to see white fans being entertained by white players. It's called hockey.
The shooter considered himself “left wing” believe it or not
I live in a city with a large black population and for years I have done an informal survey of where I see different groups of people.
Sounds like we need to send BLM some more money, feel the white guilt
Funny I didn't hear LeBron say we shouldn't play
When one black kid got killed by police man the nba world went into shock now a whole grocery store gets shot up aint heard Shannon Sharpe mouth or Stevie na Smith on the topic what's the problem
💩
Okay if we are gonna play it like this...
And what would the headline read had the white fans decided not to show?
So far been pretty sceptical on this sub but theres no denying they are tripping balls bro
Imagine thinking there's no white players in the NBA
Did they ever have a grip on it ?
As a white man I wish I was as underprivileged as those black men
This has nothing to do with a conspiracy.
Hey, the guy is white.
Don’t care about that. Dude must have huffed a shit load of compressed air over the years….
I'm sure he is """white"''" that doesn't change anything
No doubt, but in actuality, we’ve lost %60 of the First Worlds population. Another %20-30 will follow the bigger tribe (survival?), which leaves us with %10-20 of the population.

I have not watched sports since the woke movement
Omg
I sure hope they have now because this is stupid.
Is the kneeling working its magic?
