Lakers and Clippers vote to boycott remainder of playoffs

The "movement BLM" is diverse, with different people asking for different things and making different arguments.

When the NBA puts BLM painted on their court floor and in their commentary - right or wrong, I think some viewers will see the NBA as endorsing it all - all of the different people under the BLM banner.

Some of the people under the BLM banner make indisputably correct arguments, work for human rights, and do so peacefully and respectfully.  Some people under the BLM banner have made arguments that I believe are incorrect "whites are committing genocide against blacks," "1,400 blacks a year are murdered by cops," and making demands that many would view as extreme.  

I don't think all viewers distinguish the extremes from the mainstream and they want to escape reality by watching sports and when some viewers see BLM on the court some will see the extreme people under that banner.  I support their right to protest and the overall message, I am just thinking a small portion of NBA viewers want to escape the craziness of the 2020 world and when they see BLM painted on the court their mind goes to the extremes under the banner and not the mainstream under the banner.

On a side tangent my politics in our face 24-7 was more about the election and the two big parties at each other's throats, but I do think parts of BLM is political - if you are asking for reform and changes in the laws and etc...  Should we "defund the police?"  How would that not be political?  MLK Jr. was 100% right and justified.  But it was "political" was it not?  The whole point of MLK protesting was to create change including "political" change.  No?  The American Revolution was justifiable, but it was political.  The suffragettes were 100% justified and correct, but it was political.

The situation in China is complicated for nearly everyone in the US, and has been for a couple decades (around the time HK was ceded back to China, maybe a little earlier). It's complicated for ANYONE in business (sports, entertainment, manufacturing) who is selling things because it's the largest market in the world AND its the cheapest labor market in the world, both impacting bottom line. It's complicated for anyone living in the economy because their goods are cheaper than nearly anywhere else. It's complicated for anyone in the food industry, again because their market is huge. And, it's complicated for the politicians because...nearly everything. They're still communists, they steal, they spy, they have the 2nd most potent military in the world, they hate Taiwan and they keep creating damn viruses. Yet, they own an incredible amount of US debt and, as we've found out over the last few months, they produce a lot of shit that we really, really need. There's no simple solution when it comes to anything China/HK related.
