Lol, that was fast. Hate me if you want, but I spoke about this a few weeks back about sport athletes. One redditor posted, "I'm glad they are happy and having fun especially during these times..." I spoke up and mentioned what he meant about these times... These athletes should be having fun. They are getting paid to play the game that they love. The guy reply with, "but they are away from their family." Shit look who else are away from their family and having to work as well. Nurses and doctors. The athletes get pay millions, staying at hotels, free food. They can still call their family over the phone. They don't know how great they have it. Its not like its a year or so that they couldn't see their family like military people. These athletes are just there to entertain people. Leave politics out of it. Don't give me that bull crap about having a platform. I mean I see other people that go on strike with their whole career on the line for a few days without knowing they will having millions in the bank and mansions to go back to. Just play the game and leave the politics out of it. I don't want to go into the recent murdering of people and stuff by cops for the millionth time especially when you hear it on the news, social media, and work. People just want to go home and enjoy watching a basketball game.

I know that there are only around 5,000 athletes that gotten into the NBA, but they could be replaceable. Almost everyone in the work field is replaceable. I seen some people that went on strike, and the next day the employers found someone else in their place. The product might not be as great or competition, but at the end of the day sports need the people to watch to make money not the other way around.
