Right now this is a wildcat strike. There are plenty of ways this can take shape that go short of a general strike."
The NBA leading the revolution is exactly the wackiest kind of shit that happens in Hellworld
How fucking hilarious would that be to have that be the official name of the evolution of leftism in the states?
I realized shit was really going down in the US when the NBA shut down
Same. I mean, I figured shit was going to get bad, but when the NBA stopped I was like oh fuck
Looks like it’s spreading to other leagues. Professional athletes now offering more political leadership to the working class than any major politician and most unions.
yeah just look at how quick NASCAR reacted in response to BLM this year
I know we like shitting on reddit and there are lots of chuds there too, but it seems like the NBA subreddit is with them
And the Lakers and Trail Blazers too Seems like some people won't get their circuses tonight.
NHL is not chud central it probably has more leftists than the MLB and NFL
I'm listening, tell me more. I was aware of some racism in the NHL and hockey in general so this would be good to hear about.
okay I don't really know tbh all I know is that I'm a leftist and like hockey and the subreddit is not awful most of the time.
Ah, alright, no worries. I know there are various levels of antiracism and racism within the sport. The subreddit does seem alright though. I seem to remember a post or two where racism was discussed and racist people in the comments were shut down.
I play in a local outdoor inline roller league but it's mostly white bread around here (myself included). The guy who is currently running it essentially has a gear library type system in place which reminded me of the series of podcast that the Srsly Wrong guys did about something they called Library Socialism. Most people who have the means throw him a few hundred dollars after a while since he pays for all the gear himself that he finds used on ebay.
Through his efforts, the kids league had grown to nearly 200 kids prior to the pandemic. This is in an area with about 50k population in the county.
Weird i didin't see any issue with the hockey sub (except if we don't count that these posts have to be regularly locked, if that's the issue i agree)
There are a lot of leftists in the NFL sub, I frecuent it during the season.

Dear, Ron MacLean Dear, Coach's Corner I'm writing in order For someone to explain To my niece, the distinction Between these mandatory pre-game group rites of submission And the rallies at Nuremburg Specifically the function The ritual serves in conjunction With what everybody knows Is in the end a kid's game I'm just appealing to your sense of fair play When I say She's puzzled by This incessant pressure For her to not defy Collective will Yellow-ribboned lapels As the soldiers inexplicably rappel Down from the arena rafters If not so insane Would be grounds for screaming laughter Dear, Ron MacLean I wouldn't bother with these questions If I didn't sense some spiritual connection We may not be the same But it's not like we're from different planets we both love this game so much we can hardly fucking stand it Alberta-born, prairie-raised Ain't a sheet of ice north of Fargo I ain't played From Penhold to the Gatineau Every fond memory of childhood that I know Is somehow connected To the culture of this game, I can't just let it go I guess it comes down to What kind of world you want To live in If diversity is disagreement Disagreement is treason Well, don't be surprised if we find ourselves reaping A strange and bitter fruit That sad old man beside you Keeps feeding to young minds as virtue It takes a village to raise a child A flag to raze the children 'Til they're nothing more than ballast for fulfilling A madman's dream Of a paradise Complexity reduced to black and white How do I Protect her from This cult of death?
hockey too, i don't know about nfl but american sports subs are a-ok?
The biggest suprise was r/NASCAR being better on understdanding race issues and BLM and r/formula1 being super racist lol
Yeah but being worse than the NASCAR fan community is really surprising, don't NASCAR fans tend to be Confederate flag flying chuds?
But the # fans of NASCAR that are also reddit users is probably pretty small.
/r/NBA does well with the easy stuff. It’s when they encounter anything mildly inconveniencing to the median NBA redditor (middle class Straight white college male) is when they go mask off reactionary
The baseball sub is with them and the Brewer's as well... Surprisingly.
didn't you hear the main song we're all in this together? smh u libs are sleeping on theory rn 🙄

Interested in seeing how the chuds spin this as disrespecting the flag or the troops
I feel like they're going to say it's disrespectful to "law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line and work very hard every day to keep us safe 🥺"
Im interested in how many they show up when the precincts start to get a little toasty. Please be careful.
I do enjoy the hit them where it hurts move the nba is probably losing money because of this
i can't believe they did it. i'm so proud of them and it further proves to me that basketball good
https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1298729636004798466 "The NBA, owners and front offices didn't see this wave of player boycotts coming today. Hours ago, they all expected to be playing these games tonight. This is a pivot point for the NBA and professional sports in North America."
How long before the media starts calling Giannis a Greek anarchist provocateur?
If you wanna see a chud get really angry, call Giannis a Greek. If they know who he is they'll be all "actually he's an African who moved to Greece, he isn't a real Greek!"
