And Trump wants to complain about this?
“It’s terrible. I think what they’re doing to the NBA in particular is going to destroy basketball. I can’t – I don’t even watch it. … You know when you watch sports, you want to sort of relax, but this is a whole different world. … You don’t want to stay in politics. You want to relax,” Trump complained.Biden's got to get out in front of this before Trump runs away with this issue.
“It’s very bad for the NBA and it’s going to prove to be very bad for football. Roger Goodell should have learned his lesson two years ago. And I’m not letting up. I’m not letting up. They were begging for mercy two years ago on the flag. I’m not letting up,” he threatened.
“It’s going to be very bad for football and I think it’s very bad for the NBA. Maybe even NBA threatening. And it’s going to be very bad for baseball if they don’t get smarter,” he argued.
Proud of our @astros tonight and grateful to the @HoustonRockets earlier this week, for using your platform to bring attention to racial injustice and the work that remains to be done. Continued advocacy is part of the solution. Let's build on that. #BlackLivesMatter— Lina Hidalgo (@LinaHidalgoTX) August 29, 2020
