Sports

 Sports are fun but sports are also business. When the two mix to voice their views, that is when I question it. The NBA has decided to voice their opinion on a recent shooting. They are walking out for a day because a man who decided to not comply with a police request to stop and said he was going to his car to get his gun and went to the car, opened the door and reached down for an object, was shot. Would they have preferred the officers to be shot? Would they have walked out for them? Would they have walked out if an Orthodox Jew was killed by an angry mob? Of course not. They are making a political statement. These people, making millions of dollars a year to shuffle a ball around a court, are not thinking ahead. When a league becomes political, it alienates. When it alienates, it runs the risk of people not wanting to see it. If people don't come, salaries don't get paid. If a socialist party, that has aligned itself with a divisive movement  rules, salaries drop from millions of dollars a year to, "you now play for the country" salaries. We are becoming a "jump to conclusions" society. No one gets the facts. They react in the worst possible way. The NBA, NFL and MLB need to abide by the "separate church from state" mindset. Do your job and after work do your community work. Now that I am thinking of it, instead of walking out and looking like martyrs, take your money and rebuild the cities that were burned down by the other people who also did not get the full story.
