      honestly though I don't follow sports so just got fully caught up on what the nba bubble is and... it's very very funny to see the mostly progressive people I follow, who have been (rightly) critical of gov response to covid, go fucking hogwild for nba basketball

      But for real, can someone explain to me why SPORTS gets a free pass from criticism right now.

          Replying to @alex_zee

          The critique is fair enough, but rest assured, there’s been plenty of criticism and self-flagellation among sports fans about the absurdities of professional sports restarting, not just due to covid anxieties but also fears of how it could overshadow BLM movement work

          You mean like BLM on the t-shirts w like 4 logos on the sleeves? Meh, it's fine, I'm sure they won't start selling those next wk. Or the "luv Black ppl like u luv Black culture" t-shirts u can buy on Miami heat site rn? Only + is Kyrie Irving's $1.5m to WNBA players who opted out

          Remember in the beginning of the outbreak in the US when there was a massive shortage of tests but several pro sports teams magically managed to get all of their players tested multiple times? 🙃

          Important to cherish and appreciate every small miracle — live sports or no what’s happening in nba is a far stronger message for BLM than anything Hollywood could possibly deliver. Also a lot of these super star privileged players have physically marched. Idk my two cents
