Quick question: what's makes people feel they have to boycott the NFL/NBA etc.?  I personally can't think of anything that would make me not watch a sport I love.  But if you're boycotting the NFL/NBA now, why?  I'll hang up and listen...
I stopped watching the NBA because of the 1998 lockout, I got tired of listening to millionaires whining about being millionaires.  The last straw for me was hearing Patrick Ewing trying to explain why he needed more money..."People complain that pro athletes make a lot of money; but what they don’t understand is that we need a lot of money because we spend a lot of money"

 
"I have also said I believe in the sentiment of Black Lives Matter by not the organization. I can distinguish between the two."

THIS!!!!!!!
That's good that you can distinguish between the two. I myself have a difficult time believing what Trump and his friends say about BLM. 
 
You should have shared your knowledge that the people who were yelling 'I hope they die' were not BLM protesters.
 

People Yelled ‘I Hope They Die’ About Ambushed LA Deputies. They Weren’t BLM Protesters.

This happened during the George Floyd riots in Minneapolis. I saw this a couple of days after it happened, but didn't know who that guy was with.
 
It turns out he's a white supremacist. That Auto Zone damage is not going to be credited to the white supremacist. The blame will go to Black Lives Matter. I doubt this is the first time this has happened.

HuffPost is an advocacy organization, not a fact-gathering news source. FYI.

You might as well post Cinderella. Its just as credible.

 
I’m sure BLM has been credited with violence and destruction that they didn’t do.  Do you believe that the BLM is completely innocent of any and all wrongdoings?
Well, no, because we have video. The Dallas sniper was a member of BLM. He shot 5 cops.

"Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon" was a BLM chant, caught on video.

We have arrests and now convictions of BLM members who set cities afire, killed business owners trying to protect their stuff.

BLM's website, which BLM created, and BLM authored, is chalk full of racism, anti-semitism (what the hell did the Jews do?), and is marxist from beginning to end.

And how many statues did they take down, all caught on video? Video is EVERYWHERE these days. In many cases, other BLM members are capturing the video and posting it later to brag. 

So Trump EX-O's stiffer penalties for beating up statues (which don't fight back). So what do they do? They start fights now with old people.

I did a google search about BLM violence and every link was about how times BLM was falsely accused of violence. After about 5 or 6 links I just gave up. I wish there was a search engine that was unbiased and would show us the good and the bad. 
I’ve also searched for their original agenda and it keeps taking me down different sites I don’t want to look at. I will admit to not being real good at deep searches into topics though.

I would to see who they are talking about.  View their history to see how legitimate this allegation is.  Because all I see is words like "we believe", "seen with", "thinks".  Is this actually evidence or wishful thinking?  It makes for good shock value if anything else.  If you got something of hard evidence release it other wise its all insinuation and fluff.  Of course at the end of the article they also name Antifa but it eludes the headline.  ??

Police announced on Monday that they believe undercover white supremacists led a group of rioters


"We have identified some individuals who have been seen with the Boogaloo boys and some antifa groups around the area,"  Smith said. "The majority of those individuals who were there last night were Caucasian."


Richmond Police Chief Gerald Smith said he thinks the instigators were linked to the Boogaloo boys, a right-wing anarchist group that has ties to white supremacy. He also said that left-wing antifa protesters were involved in the violence.
