    Feel like these NBA and MLB players are daring the entire labor movement to join them. If our society is in fact broken, then labor should assert itself as part of the solution.

        We need a #GeneralStrike, until major reforms happen... and for that matter to protest the government's horrific response to the pandemic (not passing Cares Act in Senate, slowing down testing, ending eviction bans, etc.) which also disproportionately affects minorities

        These players are more patriotic and principled than the Republicans in the House & Senate.👍👍👊✊❤️

        The largest, widespread protest in sports maybe ever. Amazing to witness. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏻 #BlackLivesMatter

        Same. And those who were critical of Colin Kaepernick in 2016, some have changed and some are pretty quiet.

        Labour should always be part of the solution and it should be a revolutionary one.

        They always want labor and everyone else to support their strikes. When have the pro athletes ever walked a picket line for teacher's unions or others? Yes, many of them individually do great work for schools. How about the collective players union supporting other unions?

        I think you have this backwards. Has labour stood with Black lives matter? The athletes are standing in solidarity with a movement for meaningful action/change. The call for labour to stand with them isn’t to stand for ‘their’ cause but to stand for THE cause.

        LOL. Go for it. I don't think anyone will be missed. The people protesting are in large measure the people who aren't doing anything productive to begin with: students who are not studying, teachers who are not teaching, etc, etc.
