The point of a strike is not to go back to work until your demands are met.
So if Obama really wanted to give them advice, he would have worked with them on a political platform that they could have used to lead a strike not only in the NBA or other sports but all over the country that led to meaningful reforms:francis:

I know to the militants and politcal naive on thecoli obama is the most despised black man in america but its simply wrong , obama is seen favourably by the majority of the american public and is respected and his opinion is value like that of his spouse too. I salute lebron for actually talking with obama who was an organizer and has better experiences to help the players in their cause for justice

Why do u nikkas always care about athletes and entertainers opinions and stance on everything for approval

We have black politicians in the White House in the house , black politicians in your state , in your city and nikkas always running to Lebron or Jay Z on what they going to do

U the same nikkas wanting Lebron and them to take stance and don’t play and hurt the league pockets, but u same nikkas are Buying foreign cars, white owned clothes at their department stores and food at white owned restaurants , but talking about a stance

If they play or not , white cops and politicians isn’t going to change regardless....

nikkas still played when Donald sterling’s of the clippers said he hate nikkas and been hating nikkas for 30 plus years

nikkas still played when dan Gilbert owner of the cavs got mad at Lebron for leaving and basically call him a slave

Not surprised

Obama gonna do the status quo

And help keep them in line

This is all connected

They should of sought advice from someone else

They should've opened some books on the Civil Rights movement, rather than asking another man for guidance.

If they'd had the knowledge of what worked in the past, they would've known when they were being fed purpose versus poison.

They didn't tho, and look what happens.

You have to know things for yourself people.

Yes ask for advice.
But also have a core of knowledge and intelligence that helps you sift purpose from corruption.

TYRONE GA!
they were gonna end up playing regardless.

that potential cap drop alone would have had them falling back.

the money always compromises these situations and the majority of them weren't gonna risk that long term anyway.

I do appreciate the fact they got the arenas to be opened as polling stations so there was some good that came out of this.
