Not that she wants them to, or hopes they do - but demands they do. :rolleyes:
Then you have the second twit, asking ‘Why Should a Country That Doesn’t Value Black Lives Get to Be Entertained by Black Athletes?’
How about because they signed contracts, and they collected hundreds of thousands at minimum and most likely in the millions.
And they aren't meant to "entertain us" - but they are there to play their respective sports to the best of their abilities.

Black Lives Matter Co-Founder Patrisse Cullors Demands Hollywood Strike Over Shooting of Jacob Blake
Black Lives Matter (BLM) co-founder Patrisse Cullors has demanded that the entertainment industry go on strike in response to the shooting of Jacob Blake, arguing that “Hollywood can really show up in this moment.”
“I think it’s time for talent, writers, executives, the guild and SAG to show up for Black lives as well,” Cullors said. “Join this strike. Now is the time and our movement is really looking to unions to step in in a particular way and say ‘We’re going to hold back on allowing for the exploitation and the degradation of Black communities to continue under our watch.’ I think Hollywood can really show up in this moment.”

Jemele Hill: ‘Why Should a Country That Doesn’t Value Black Lives Get to Be Entertained by Black Athletes?’
On Thursday, Atlantic writer and former ESPN host Jemele Hill insisted that black athletes should stop “entertaining” America because the country does not “value black lives.”
Hill pushed the calumny in her August 27 column where she praised the decision of the NBA to cancel this week’s games in response to the police-involved shooting of Wisconsin man Jacob Blake.
After recounting the actions that led to the NBA’s suspension of games for the rest of the week, Hill noted that the players took criticism.
“On social media and cable news, some fans and commentators heaped scorn upon the players for walking out in the first place, depicting them as selfish athletes who were only throwing a tantrum for the sake of virtue signaling,” Hill wrote.
Hill added that there is a narrative that says, “athletes, because of their social and economic status, are a privileged class with no right to complain.”
This narrative is “racist,” Hill insisted, because “the idea of telling Black athletes—or any prominent Black person—to be grateful is almost as old as racism itself.”
