NBA ratings were not thriving.

They were hurting

Wouldn't it be great if the NBA cratered and then hundreds of players all have the same moment of clarity sitting in their living rooms with their house, car, boat, jewelry, alimony and child support payment due invoices sitting on the coffee tables in front of them?

Fans are already boycotting the NBA, why not the players?

Magic will boycott in solidarity of the Bucks. Very honorable move.

"Why can't they protest peacefully?"

kneels during anthem

"What good does kneeling do, actually do something"

boycotts game to draw attention and spark conversation

There is a pattern here. Pay attention to who is more upset by the reaction to the problem at hand than the problem itself

NBA must lay a heavy fine on all players and entire organization.

95% of the people who actually care about the NBA agree with them.

I don't think many people are going to be "more upset" by the reaction.

Funny how they and the MLB were deemed "essential" but the rest of the working people not.

Bless your heart

And I really mean this



Now I don't understand basketball, but you are saying they are going to give up the win today or they will boycott next game ending the series?

They can do it and we can laugh at them. Nothing like taking the side of a guy wanted for sexual assault.

They realize some things are more important than basketball. And they are thugs why exactly? They show up to work everyday, put in hard work, and then follow through on supporting an issue they believe in. Sounds very American to me.

I wonder how the television networks that pay millions to air the games feels about the loss of ad revenue.

Bucks have had multiple players who have been racially profiled.

Its actually useless. Think about it. You don't even know what to try to fix.

The way they should think about is ---if you could present a petition to a Pharaoh, what are you asking him to do?

Boil all the complicated things about how, who has authority, etc, just boil it down to---WHAT are you asking for in particular. That he could then order?

If there isn't a particular, there is nothing to address because nothing defined.

Leftist Democrats "have completely overplayed the Racism accusation. Honestly my first reaction when I hear it today is to assume bad intentions by the accuser, not the accused."

Cops on the side of the street don't get to decide who lives and who dies for crimes that aren't punishable by death. Especially when we know there are cops with questionable judgement.

Wow. Didn't realize what a loser Doc Rivers is.

Get out, Doc. Go try one of your more fair countries.

They want everyone to vote.

They want everyone to vote for the same people that have been running the police departments for decades.

PS Screw all of them. NBA can go straight to the dungheap of history.

Try to get real jobs, losers.

Except we don't have all the facts and they are taking the side of a possible rapist.
