    Telling the NBA players to shut up and dribble when they went on strike last summer, I think.

      Oh damn, I never heard about that I mean I don’t think that’s quite ‘crushing a movement’ but short a shitty thing to do

        The NBA strike was at the height of the BLM protests. If they had carried through with that across the entire league (and likely moving to others) as opposed to like 1 or 2 days, it’s safe to say it would’ve been a starting as opposed to a fizzle point...

        They went to Obama for advice and he said you sat out one game as a symbol that’s enough, you should continue working because people need a distraction during covid.
