Fight for equality on CNN or CBC News Network, not Sportsnet or TSN. And stop complaining about dying, already. Crash is dying to watch a game. And what could be more important than that?
Politics gets more than enough coverage.

Re: Wednesday’s NBA Playoff games have been canceled
It's one thing for major league sports teams to refuse to play in support of a cause. It's quite another for a radio show host to take her station silent for an entire hour to show how she's backing that cause. Yet that's exactly what a broadcaster named CJ Silas did Thursday night during her talk show on KXTK, an all sports talk station in San Luis Obispo, California.
In between the dead air, she would come on with this announcement every few minutes:
“Your radio is not broken. In solidarity with my black brothers and sisters, in sports and the world, there will not be a CJ Silas show tonight.”
She did have the station's permission to pull the stunt, but wouldn't it have served the cause better to spend that hour discussing the issue that the leagues raised by their actions? Most people coming by a silent station will simply keep twirling the dial to find something else. This appears to be a misguided attempt to get on the bandwagon and be an activist and ultimately, seems pretty misguided and self-defeating regardless of the motive.
