Players should play the game. Even if their feelings are hurt. This is still a business that sells a product. That is why they get paid millions of dollars.
I know I am going to get flamed in here I don’t care. Disagreeing with me so you can feel like a good person if you want to, but tolerating this type of behavior is BAD BUSINESS for the NBA. The league will be weaker for this, that is a fact.
If standing for human life and dignity can destroy any organization, then maybe it should be destroyed. Professional athletes are safe when they are playing their games. Then many of them are black women and men who the moment they step outside and they are not safe. And many of their friends and family are never safe.
P.S. This won't destroy professional sports. This is athletes refusing to be rich owners play things.
