I think when a protest becomes co-opted to become a branding exercise, even from entities that have a long history of and/or are actively guilty of reinforcing the problems that the protests were initially challenging, then it's probably time to question the direction of things https://twitter.com/MartysaurusRex/status/1289818693401079808

Should have seen it coming when even police officers were kneeling for photo ops during the protests. Or I mean, when the NFL tried to sabotage the protest some time ago under the banner of unity. Because that's practically what's happpened.

NBA allowing demonstrations while making sure that players can only choose messages from their pre-approved list and while working them during a pandemic without protecting the low-wage workers who are making the bubble possible.

And whatever the fuck it was that the NHL attempted to do.
