Jonathan Isaac's protest could've been applauded
if his explanation wasn't nonsense

The NBA’s greatest fear was a player radical enough to go beyond its collectively bargained, wink-wink, nod-nod “protest,” not a player so radical that he would protest the protest in the other direction.
But Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac felt so compelled to work his way into the loophole, a Black player doing the unthinkable of sorts, refusing to kneel during Friday’s national anthem and eschewing the Black Lives Matter shirt all the players have been warming up in the re-start at Walt Disney World.

The articles author is way too full of himself. May God bless this young man for his stand.

Had it been the other way around, the headline would’ve read: Actions speak louder than words. How one man’s protest sheds light on an important cause.

This article is a great example as to why Mr Goodwill works for the lame Yahoo sports , and is damn lucky to get that job.

But what are the BLM sympathizers protesting? Is it free speech, is it the freedom to stand for the national anthem, is it their salaries? Oh yes, it's police brutality. The statistics don't back that up under examination, but it doesn't matter. Not where paranoia and anger rule the day.

If we could pass a constitutional amendment declaring failure to watch all nba games and owning licensed paraphernalia of at least one team to be racist could really help business.

I deliberately didn’t post this snarky article earlier because it was in opposition to another Yahoo Sports article which was not critical of Mr. Isaac for choosing to stand and wear a team shirt rather than blm. Without editorialization, it reported what Mr. Isaac did and quoted his statement without mockery. I posted that one instead. Goodwill showed anything but good will. Instead he snarked at Isaac and mocked his religion. Karma awaits Mr. Goodwill.

Jonathan Isaac is courageous, a man a character and a good athlete. If he is not well spoken and articulate, so what. Few athletes are and I still respect their skill. I was a complete verbal dunce at that age and I had a STEM degree.
Jonathan Isaac had no reason to explain anything. He plays basketball better that any reporter from Yahoo News can play at journalism.
This creepy author is a hateful man and he owes Mr. Isaac an apology.

Re #7, I found I hadn’t posted the other Yahoo article - the good one - but linked it on the thread for an article about all the fools who took a knee. It is now up, posted just a few minutes ago. A far better report than this snarky opinion piece.

BLM has bee taken over by the Marxist and the are too dumb to realize it. When will someone arise who speaks truth to the mobs? Good well is a useful tool if the Marxist who will silence everyone who fails to speak the party lines. The world already has many examples of that yet weak leaders of corporations and universities fall dutifully in line. What should be done? I think freedom loving people know.

It's still America, jerks. If he wants to protest the protests - he is guaranteed that right.

One can only wonder how many of those kneeling only did so because of peer pressure. Some of them must know that BLM is not an organization interested in blacks having a better life, but they are afraid to take a stand.

Yahoo sports writers are all anti-DT and anti-Conservatives. They wrote the same thing about Coonrod for the MLB Giants.

Mr. Goodwill provides a lesson as to how The Community keeps its people in line. While admitting the act of standing was courageous, he diminishes Isaac's act by dismissing his "explanation" as disingenuous nonsense, going so far as to call Isaac "a token". Note: Isaac did this with the support of his teammates. Let's see if any rise to his defense versus pundits such as the ironically-named Mr. Goodwill.
