#1 Emancipation could have waited a while too.

Think of all the lives that would have been saved.

Think of all the money the planters had invested.

Why did middle aged white males like Lincoln and Grant have to stick their nose in?

Tsk tsk.

#2 According to Rosa she wasn't trying to protest. She was just tired and her feet hurt and she didn't feel like getting up and walking to the back of the bus because a white man wanted her seat.

#3 I underestimated Ming James. Apparently he can also make big money by dribbling with his chin.

According to WZ:
Hong Kong protesters don masks of Lebron James to protest.

Not sure I would have passed that round of Bee/Not Bee.

Beautiful.

#4 Would LeBron James "wait a week or a month or a year" for his paycheck, hmmm? Being virtuous with other people's lives is so very, very easy.

#5 Which paycheck?

Sportsball player.
Sportsball promoter.
Video games.
Clothing brand, especially shoes and headband.
Disney character.
Carbonated cranberry sugar beverage.
Hair re-growth.
"What I wear for pre-game video montage."
Personal music system and headphones.
Automobile preference.
Social media.

Also LeBron:
"I kneel with Colin Caperneck because police brutality must be addressed."

Chinese Communist Policeman shoots civilian in chest point blank.

"Hey everyone, can't believe you ruined my big movie week. You just have no idea how much time I had to spend in a green room so we could pretend I was playing basketball against space alien cartoons. You leave Hong Kong police alone!"

#6 Which paycheck?

“Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.” ― Eric Hoffer

Environmentalism, Civil Rights, Social Justice, the United Nations, Human Rights... lots of people getting some nice paychecks.

#7 It's all about shoe sales.

#8 "I kneel with Colin Caperneck because police brutality must be addressed." Chinese Communist Policeman shoots civilian in chest point blank.

But these civilians are NOT part of Lebron James' tribe, are they?

#9 Anyone else looking for chinks in the NBA's morality?

#10 Turning point?

#11 Yes, it could be a turning point if enough people showed up wherever that nitwit is playing and shame people who bought a ticket to see it. What would quickly follow would be attempts by local gummints to suppress such shaming activity which of course is just doubling down of "keep your free speech off muh wallet." Good times.

#12 Deacon Blues, I don't think she was a random innocent with tired feet no matter what she says..

#13 #11 I think their ticket sales will suffer some as well. This isn't a good look for a league that managed to (largely) avoid the anthem glare that Koepernick inflicted on the NFL.

#14 nba attendance has been nearly constant for over a decade (a bit more than 17k per game)

I think the season begins next week. It will be interesting to see.

#15 If I had Warcraft, I'd create a character, name him Ming James, make him a bard, equip him with a lyre and a pair of shoes, and walk around playing the chinese national anthem and saying silly shit through my mic like, "Chairman Mao most brave!" "My shoes number one for long march!"

#16 Maybe find an army of like minded players, make all the same character and name and such, all do a suicide run at the same time yelling Lebron James! a la Leroy Jenkins.
