At least you're honest about it. This is a terrible thing to say and by that measure no one should ever be criticizing any politician or leader's behavior, because it doesn't matter.

Sorry that you find honesty terrible.

You aren't sorry. You don't have to pretend for my behalf. There's nothing to apologize for, it's a free country and you have every right to be a hypocrite. I was just making an observation.

[QUOTE=SithCeNtZ;15135548]It's weird. People are so angry at LeBron for some hypocrisy and not speaking up against something that makes him money. Fine. But those same people elected and love a dude who is supposed to represent god and family values despite him cheating on all of his wives, paying porn stars hush money, getting caught defrauding people with his charity and University among other things. Some could see the hypocrisy in that but won't,

Past allegations are meaningless. You look at what he has done the last 4 years. Thats how he should judged. He's done well by any standard.

You are [technically] correct, as I was not hyper-accurate in my verbiage.

I am SADDENED that you find honesty to be terrible.

There is no reason for me to be APOLOGETIC that you find honesty to be terrible, as I had no hand in you performing that emotional calculus.

Based on the comments by folks like Doc Rivers and some others who usually don't speak up quite like this, I don't think these players and coaches really care about bringing people together or singing campfire songs at this point. They don't want to see people getting shot by police and whatever it takes to make that happen, then so be it. How best to achieve that? That's a whole other conversation, as we're seeing here. I think the players felt they were being practical after George Floyd, and that didn't work, so they're going to turn up the heat. Is that the right way to do it? I guess we'll see. But just listen to the interviews and it's obvious there's a lot of frustration that what they've been doing isn't working.

I for one am shocked that players words and actions didn’t lead to criminals to stop being criminals.
