the league would have just put out a ‘Let’s dunk on racism’ poster and called it a day (evil of two lessers)

August 2020

“And massive props to these athletes for using their platform to bring attention to what’s happening in the streets. Because when you think about it, sports doesn’t stop for anything, so when sports does shut down, people take notice. Like, do you guys remember that time aliens landed on Earth? Yeah, of course you don’t remember, because it was the playoffs.” —Trevor Noah

“I’m also glad this movement was started by the players and not by the league. Because you know the league would have just put out a ‘Let’s dunk on racism’ poster and called it a day.” —Trevor Noah

“Are N.B.A. players supposed to just shut up and dribble or literally fix racism all by themselves? Either way, it feels like America relies way too much on the athletes to do everything. They’re supposed to play basketball, fix racism, sell cereal and date all the Kardashians?” — Trevor Noah

“If we can have a rain delay, we sure as hell can have a police brutality delay.” — Trevor Noah
