I dapped your post because it's very coherent, and honest, and I feel all of it. The problem is that I think them doing what you and others request would have damaged their contracts, so while it may have felt good temporarily, it would have hurt them in the long-run. They were never going to do this

What gets me about that photo is that, the way I heard it, the white boy wanted to be part of the protest, but was vetoed, so he wore something in support of the two brothers. Since Doc said he was the only one who was going to speak for the team on this matter, it's possible that Doc is the one who orchestrated the warm up protest and told them they the NBA would allow them to wear black socks and black armbands in protest but anything else would fukk up the rest of their lives in the league? They became the white boy who wanted to also make a bolder gesture, but wasn't allowed to. You do what you can. Even Luz Long didn't throw middle fingers at Hitler, he did one better by treating Jesse like a human being and a brother in front of Der Fuhrer.

And like others said, it's kind of wrong to place this on the players, when it's the Commissioner and the other owners and the league itself which should be making the biggest statement.

The warm up photos have made international news. We'll see what happens for the next game.

preciate it and I love the photo...but as for what you said, I respectfully disagree...here's why:

1. doc is on record saying he was against that bullshyt protest they did with the arm bands and warm-ups...so that lets me know he buckled under the moment, and didn't want to piss off the powers that be...he could've been out in front for his team, shouldering the load....instead, he trying to distance himself from it....

2. what I said they should do doesn't place anything on the players...in fact, them not playing puts all the spotlight on sterling and the nba, cause now the world gonna look at those parties and ask 'what you gonna do about him(sterling)?'...any backlash against the players makes the league look worse....also, since now he fukking up they(owners/league) money, and one thing people in power hold more dear than race: money, adam silver would've hop and fetched his happy ass to la or ny, and held an emergency owner's meeting first thing this morning...

3. those warm up vids do nothing...reasons why: they still wore the uniforms to play the game; they tried to deflect the attention away from what was said after they played the game; they played the fukking game...the min they played the game, is the min they said it's ok....
