Brilliant, something that should have been done years ago. 4 years to the day since Kaep took a knee it happened.

Sports and Politics are intertwined whether people want it to be or not. They're not seperate entities, from the Sports we play to the funding to the management levels it's politicised.

This last part isn't aimed at you, but when people say they don't want sports and politics mixed, it's usually "I don't see it as a problem so why should it interrupt my enjoyment of sport". Well, it is a problem for some, and some of those play sport, so let's use that platform.

Even if it is a problem for some, it still shouldn't interrupt my enjoyment of sports.
 
Meanwhile, it is OK to roll around parts of the US with a giant fudging gun and shoot people if you're white. Imagine, if you will, what would happen if a black man had done that. Yeah. Right. Because if a black man is going to get shot 7 times in the back when the ;police have lost control of a situation which was never out of control and never looked like heading out of control in anyone's scope except the mind of the paranoid, then I dread to think what would happen in that case...

So Sports in USA are looking to boycott the rest of season in certain sports - mainly basketball at the moment.

I’m really not a fan of mixing sports and politics - which I get might not be a popular view.

Let’s be honest most american sports aren’t universally popular nor worth watching with basketball being at the top of that particular list. Guess it’s a win-win.

i know the feeling, i just wanted to enjoy a night out in a club and instead had to get the threat of getting my head kicked in for being brown. I feel you man.

That shouldn't happen either, obviously.

I suggest going out in the kind of places fights don't happen

No, I'm serious.

I used to end up in fights through no fault of my own for being better looking and better dressed than all the Neanderthals in the club. They used to take exception to the fact that the women they'd spent all night chasing were only interested in me.

So I started going to more exclusive places that don't allow people like that.

Who decides which issues - that some find a problem - are legitimate enough to allow the interruption of sport?
 
Apparently that fat piece of brick was high fiving the police just before he shot those people. The police did nothing when he walked amongst them with that semi automatic. Can you imagine what the reaction would have been if a black guy walked towards them with a semi automatic? America is in big, big trouble. It is a sick society and it is getting worse. I am really fearful for the future if this neo fascist mentality continues to grow.
