NBA stars open ESPYS with powerful message
http://espn.go.com/espys/2016/story/_/id...ote-change

I thought it was going to be problematic but props to Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Dwayne Wade and Lebron James for opening the ESPYS tonight with a powerful 3:40 video urging people to end the violence, but also urging the nation to come together. I thought all 4 players did well, but Anthony and Paul in particular came across as very intelligent and articulate spokesmen.

I clicked it with an open mind, but I'm sorry, I didn't find that moving at all. I fail to see the logic in equating justified shootings with a terrorist act against the cops.

Sidenote: Dwayne Wade needs a new tailor.

That is kinda racist. White people use that term often when mentioning black people, because their default view is that black people are hoody and trashy.

I refuse to watch the most hypocritical network on the tube and their awards shows.

This outfit fires anybody who expresses an opinion that doesn't fit with their ever increasing left wing views. They fire Kurt Schilling for speaking his mind, claiming that they want to keep their network clear of political talk. Yet.......their award show begins with left wing politics.

It's supposed to be a SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK. Yet, those fools continue to deny any political bent.

Hilarious that they can't see what so many of us do - that they are great big fat hypocrits.
