  1. I didn't say that "the actions have no value and won't contribute to further legislation". I used the word IF. The word IF is THE keyword. Basically, you're agreeing with me, you just don't like the way I've put it. And thanks for clarfiying that sports and politics are two different fields... I was referring to police culture and police brutality against Afro-Americans. You won't change police culture through symbolism. That's a fact. Or how do you want to involve companies in this regard? It exclusively needs some appropriate, coherent legislation in order to start solving this giant problem because these cops won't change their attitude voluntarily. A fish always rots from the head down. And if politicians decide to keep looking away for obvious reasons – which they're doing as we speak – or in the best case scenario, throwing some legislative breadcrumbs to people's feet, nothing positive will change for Afro-Americans – in terms of the big picture. But it actually could also get even worse. Meaning that symbolism will always remain just symbolism and no more than this, if politicians won't draw the right conclusions.
  2. Black W's won't improve the living conditions of Afro-Americans. Same goes for the lives of Native Americans in reservations across the U.S. just because the Washington Redskins (finally) are going to change their utterly racist nickname/identity. Don't misunderstand me: these corrections are good and necessary. But they all will eventually be just a waste of time if the political system isn't ready to change itself – and the system that it has created over the course of decades. A black W inside a crest eventually won't mean a thing if out-of-control police brutality against the Afro-American minority can continue because politicians on both sides of the aisle refuse to demilitarize police, refuse to revise qualification and training for cops (deescalation instead of escalation tactics), refuse to acknowledge that there's a basic problem with racism and misuse of power among cops. As long as there are exclusively lip service or platitudes in politics, because too much money has been involved ever since, things can only get worse.
  3. The L.A. DEFIANCE thread was closed due to the following explanation: "Concepts depicting current or recent political figures or using partisan political symbols as an example of content that may not be posted".

     

    Okay. Then I don't understand why THIS thread, in the Sports Concepts section, was NOT closed by any moderator back then in 2016 due to the same aforementioned reasons:

     

    Firstly, I find it extremely odd that this very thread has even less to do with sports in general, unlike the L.A. DEFIANCE thread  – namely purely nothing at all! Zero. Yet, it wasn't closed.

     

    (Let alone the "fun" fact, that both parties of the two-party system are responsible in the first place for that very system that black people have been forced to live under for centuries, a system that actually led to Colin Kaepernick's kneeling and the BLM movement!)

  4. I prefer your version of Verizon Center. I like the use of the alternate logo there!
