Jemele Hill: ‘Why Should a Country That Doesn’t Value Black Lives Get to Be Entertained by Black Ath

On Thursday, Atlantic writer and former ESPN host Jemele Hill insisted that black athletes should stop “entertaining” America because the country does not “value black lives.”

Hill pushed the calumny in her August 27 column where she praised the decision of the NBA to cancel this week’s games in response to the police-involved shooting of Wisconsin man Jacob Blake.

I would miss the off the field/court stuff though.   Shooting yourself in the leg while enjoying a few bottles of Cristal and Remy and coke with your homies. Drug arrests.  Or when the baby mommies burning down your mansion and my favorite, punching a hoe out in an elevator.   

Good stuff.

What does this dumbass think will happen to the majority of those Black athletes who have no other skills when they no longer get paid? Personally I think the best thing that could happen is for athletes, actors and other 'talent' that thinks the world revolves around them and what they think is a couple of years of shunning.

I'm pretty sure they think they should and will get paid anyway.

Why don't they just pack up and go perform in China?

Their allegiance appears to be there and am sure the Chicoms would treat them fairly.

OK. Let's go back to the days of George Preston Marshall, Kennesaw Mountain Landis and all-white major league sports. Oh, that's not what you meant?

She really is dumb as a pile of rocks. She seems to believe white folks 1) very deeply care what color entertainers are, and 2) won't be able to go on with our lives if those guys stop entertaining us.

When I cared about the NFL, the fact that "my team" was around 75% black was irrelevant. Just play. Catch the pass, score the touchdown, win the games. Now, of course, the NFL - like MLB and the NBA - are pretty much dead to me, skin tone of the performers notwithstanding.

All three of the large-scale sports decided to hit the swirlies at the same time.

To really be fair about this...shouldn't the NFL & NBA be adding lighter skin players to their rosters to more closely fit the makeup of our society?  It seems the lighter skin players should be the ones protesting.

It's not one of the "Big Three," and they've assured they won't ever be.  And I'll be DAMNED if I ever watch Soccer.

You mean that activity where if someone gets touched they immediately fall to the ground and pretend to be dying?

That's the one, sorta like Basketball in that regard.  Hell, Polo is more interesting to watch. 

Hey!  Didja know that Polo and Jai alai are the only sports where everybody has to be right-handed?  Fact.

I never watched NASCAR or NHL, so their newfound wokeness is irrelevant.

Today I've watched a little of the Tour de France and PGA. The LPGA is on later this evening.

I find those too boring to watch.  I'm not a big sports fan....never was.  I liked Baseball enough to watch all the games on TeeBee because Mrs. Liberty is a Baseball fan.  Her first year with me, the DBacks won the World Series.

I'm an avid (albeit mediocre) golfer, so I enjoy watching it - for a couple of hours, anyway.

I like sports where you can take a family of four to watch and not have to get a second mortgage to pay for it.  So that doesn't leave much unless you are into the Rodeo, Curling, and the Shooting sports.
