Bucks are refusing to play over the shooting of Jacob Blake

They know this guy was wanted for rape and other crimes huh?

Another dirtbag glorified for the narrative..

This is a powerful message; a lot of people didn’t believe that corona was serious until the NBA suspended its season. Now the seriousness of systemic racism gets a credibility boost.

Extremely over paid athletes protesting? Just like the Hollywood types, I don't care about your political option anymore than you care about mine.

Fucking idiots , what's that got to do with bball 🙄

Love the NBA, but some (and in fact, most) things are bigger than basketball. I continue to be amazed at the courage of those who are willing to give up so much to change something, and ashamed at my own inability to join them.

It's pointless pandering.

The NBA has significantly dropped in viewership over this kind of nonsense. They are doing nothing but pandering to am echo chamber.

They aren't sacrificing anything. They still get paid and they get a few nights off.... So strong of them.

What's it really change? No one is watching anyway, so what they'll not watch another game?

If they want to do something actually do something.

Unsurprisingly, it’s the women’s sports and the sport with the largest percentage of Black players who are doing the best job not spreading COVID and agitating for racial justice (and doing it via a [i]labor[/i] dispute, no less). Also, “wildcat strike” just sounds awesome to say.

Also-also, it does me no small measure of good to look at the sea of blocked and removed comments here and know that I choose my blocks well.

So, I won't watch professional sports anymore. They are extremely overpaid to play a game with a ball. They produce nothing for the benefit of society. They don't care about my political view, which is fine with me and I don't care about their political views.

A lot of angry white men are put out by black athletes daring to interrupt popular escapism to highlight anti-racist struggles.

Just who has a sense of entitlement?

Do us all a favor, and stay on strike. Whatever the players do, it will all be done in order to conform to peer pressure. They are too immature and insecure to go "against the grain". They resemble Middle School students that go along in order to be "cool".

Yea but do you really think any racist cop on the planet cares if they dont play and do you think it's going to deter cops from shooting any other unarmed black men the answers are no and no

At least they're not blaming covid-19, The 2020 Election Infection

I don’t watch basketball ball anyways doesn’t affect me

Okay?
