Rachel Nichols: "The NBA honored Chadwick Boseman, but why didn't they honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg?"

[FunkDoc1112]

Come on now, all the players knew who Chadwick was and some of them knew him personally. A lot of people our age who ain't into politics like that didn't even know who Ruth Bader Ginsburg was. The NBA has zero responsibility to hold a special memorial to every fukking dead person.

If they want to mourn her, they should mourn her failing to retire while Obama was president and putting us in this fukked up situation to begin with.



Fox News already trying to use her statement to dunk on the NBA:

ESPN's Rachel Nichols dunks on NBA over lack of Ruth Bader Ginsburg tributes

Right, they even said that shyt in their tributes to Chadwick: "A friend of the NBA!"

While it's disingenuous to ask why an 80-something Supreme Court Justice isn't getting the same recognition as a (in the grand scheme) young black man playing an iconic role, I don't think this deserves outrage unless RBG was herself

What did she say about Floyd?

She called Kaps protest stupid

 

[Edub]

Somebody in the media or nba community in general need to call her out.

Cant lie..I been on Twitter goin ham...she needs to be checked, shyt is beyond pandering

 

[Edub]

RBG was a Chief Justice that not everyone agree with....that’s the no.1 reason the nba should have stayed away from that..Rachel is an idiot



be a National league but lean one way politically, brehs

Wow.

 

[Paper Boi]

i wish those tapes would have leaked of her getting mad they put a black woman on countdown instead of her.

 

[GPBear]

Could the old cac lady hit a jumpshot ?

When Kaepernick was protesting, she called kneeling “stupid.” Then Kaepernick said “I’m surprised a judge would call protesting injustices stupid.” And she apologized by saying she made the comment off hand and didn’t really know anything about the situation.

So RBG didn’t give a single fukk about sports or what politically conscious athletes were doing, I’m not surprised they returned the favor.
