That should be welcome back. If Bridges is playing, I won't be watching.

I totally get not wanting to support domestic violence but at this point, unless you live in a commune like the Amish you are probably supporting some sort of terrible ideology just by the food you eat and the clothes you wear.

Bridges is going to get paid whether we watch or not and the Hornets will be around long after Bridges is out of the game of basketball.

I’ve found that life is more enjoyable by doing the things that make you happy. If watching Hornets basketball is enjoyable to you then don’t let Bridges take that away from you. We give more power to jackasses like Bridges when we let their stupid decisions influence how we live our lives.

That doesn't mean you have to support him or the team willing to brush what is happening around him under the rug. At some point people need to decide which is more important, standing up for the right things or the sports and their message that if you're good at sports, you'll be rewarded instead of punished for any and all of your actions no matter if that's abuse, rape, murder, etc.

Eh, as bad as they've been, there's not much enjoyment there. Like the Panthers, it's a bad habit that needs to be kicked.

Maybe, maybe not. They've moved the team once and with two guys being the main owners that have zero to do with the area, they could move the team again. Seattle has been wanting a new team for years, and they might throw an offer the new owners' way that they can't refuse.

I agree with everything you said but my question is where do we draw the line with social justice causes? Do we draw the line at Hornets basketball or do we even extend the line to things like what we wear because most of it is made in sweat shops with child labor or by women who don’t have any rights in their own countries.

I’m all for taking up social justice causes but is not watching the Hornets really making a difference? There’s so many things that we partake in that are founded in fugged up ideologies that we’d have to live like the Amish to ensure we aren’t supporting some sort of terrible injustice.

But if watching Hornets basketball isn’t enjoyable for you then I can easily see why you would no longer watch the games because of Bridges.
