Jewish group urges MLB, NBA, NFL to withdraw backing for Black Lives Matter.
The Coalition for Jewish Values Calls on Professional Sports Leagues to Abandon Support for Black Lives Matter
The Coalition for Jewish Values has released a powerful new ad urging professional sports leagues to withdraw their support for Black Lives Matter (BLM).
The ad begins by highlighting a statement made by BLM Co-Founder Patrisse Cullors, where she called on activists to take bold action against Israel. This raises concerns about the movement’s anti-Semitic views.
The narrator of the ad points out that despite BLM’s history of bigotry, professional sports teams have embraced and promoted the movement, even in cities with vibrant Jewish communities.
The ad showcases the logos of various sports teams, including the Chicago Bulls, the Dallas Mavericks, the New York Yankees, the Miami Heat, and the New England Patriots, to emphasize the widespread support for BLM.

The narrator continues by highlighting the Chicago chapter of BLM, which praised the massacre of Jews in Israel. An image published by BLM Chicago celebrating the Hamas massacre is shown, further illustrating the movement’s alarming stance.
The ad questions whether the NBA, MLB, and NFL will continue to support a movement that advocates for the murder of Jews, considering their significant financial and promotional backing.
In 2020, major sports leagues intensified their support for BLM, pledging substantial amounts of money to combat racial inequality and social injustice. The NFL committed over $1 billion, the NBA pledged $300 million, and the MLB prominently displayed ”BLM” on the pitcher’s mound.
It is important to note that BLM has a history of aligning with pro-Palestinian revolutionaries, as reported by National Public Radio. This connection traces back to the activism of Malcolm X in the 1950s, who promoted anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
Benjamin Weingarten, a Senior Contributor for The Federalist, previously highlighted BLM’s commitment to Israel’s destruction in 2016. The organization’s platform explicitly condemns Israel and accuses the US of complicity in the alleged genocide against Palestinians.

What argument does the Coalition for Jewish Values make against sports leagues and teams aligning with Black Lives Matter?
L, and NHL to abandon support for Black Lives Matter.
The Coalition for Jewish Values argues that by aligning themselves with BLM, sports leagues and teams are inadvertently endorsing a movement that promotes divisiveness and discrimination. They assert that BLM’s agenda goes beyond addressing racial injustice and encompasses controversial positions on a variety of social and political issues.
The ad points out that BLM’s support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel is problematic and raises questions about the movement’s true intentions. By calling for activists to take action against Israel, BLM is veering into the territory of anti-Semitism, which should be concerning for any organization that claims to stand against discrimination.
Furthermore, the ad highlights BLM’s divisive rhetoric and actions, which have led to violence and property destruction in various cities across the United States. While the Coalition for Jewish Values acknowledges the importance of addressing racial inequality, they argue that supporting a movement that employs these destructive tactics is counterproductive and undermines the goals of unity and justice that it claims to champion.
The Coalition for Jewish Values urges professional sports leagues to reconsider their support for BLM and instead focus on initiatives that bring people together and promote positive change. They propose that sports teams redirect their efforts towards programs that actively address racial inequality and promote understanding and harmony among all communities.
As the ad concludes, the voiceover emphasizes the need for professional sports leagues and teams to take a stand against BLM’s controversial agenda and strive for unity. Only by distancing themselves from a movement that promotes division and discrimination can sports organizations truly be a force for positive change in the fight against racism and inequality.
The Coalition for Jewish Values’ powerful ad serves as a call to action for professional sports leagues to reconsider their support for Black Lives Matter. It raises important questions about the movement’s agenda and the unintended consequences of aligning with a cause that espouses divisive and discriminatory views. By urging sports teams to promote unity and focus on initiatives that address racial inequality in a constructive manner, the Coalition for Jewish Values presents a thought-provoking argument that demands further discussion and action within the sports community.
While the decision ultimately rests with the individual sports leagues and teams, the Coalition for Jewish Values’ ad serves as a reminder that support should be given to causes and movements that uphold the values of unity, justice, and equality for all.
