MJ was the ultimate student of the game. Not only did he know the tendencies of all the players on every team 1-12, he also knew the tendencies of the refs. Never seen anything like it .#TheRematch .#mj #michaeljordan #patrickewing #nba #nbaplayoffs

They know Kyrie Irving doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving and they know exactly why because he has explained his connection to his Native American heritage and the celebrated slaughter of his people. The media is being very intentional right now with Kyrie.
KYRIE: "I don’t particularly celebrate Thanksgiving but anybody getting together with their families, blessings to all you guys. Enjoy the holiday, not a holiday for me, but please enjoy the food for me.” .

3 years ago today, 12 year old #TamirRice was murdered by Cleveland Police officer Timothy Loehmann while playing with a toy gun. He should be turning 15 today, but instead his parents spend another Thanksgiving without their son. This is why the players are kneeling!!!
The NFL is now thinking about a new idea - keeping teams in the Locker Room during the National Anthem next season. That’s almost as bad as kneeling! When will the highly paid Commissioner finally get tough and smart? This issue is killing your league!. .

I haven’t heard the ADL have any outrage about this. No upheaval of condemnation from Rabbis, comedians, media or accusations of Amazon being antisemitic ? No 6 steps for Amazon ? Nothing ? So was it really about fighting perceived antisemitism or was it about something else ?.
Amazon's CEO announced that they will not remove the film that Kyrie Irving shared on Twitter:. “As a retailer of content to hundreds of millions of customers with a lot of different viewpoints, we have to allow access to those viewpoints, even if they are objectionable."
