Several NBA teams announced they're going to boycott their own games.

The NBA on Wednesday announced that it has postponed all three playoff games for the day after the Bucks decided to sit out Game 5 of their playoff-opening series against the Magic. The games will be rescheduled.

Every american should be required to attend a class on how to interface with police, before getting a drivers license.
And their only needs to be one sentence on one page in the text book. "Do what the police are asking you to do. Period."

And all these shootings would magically disappear..

What if you're pulled over by a fake cop that wants to rob you, or worse?

Report: Lakers and Clippers vote to end NBA Season entirely. LeBron had a temper tantrum

The Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers both voted to end the NBA playoffs in a meeting among players remaining in the bubble, sources tell Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes.

The meeting took place after Wednesday’s games were postponed amid player protest of the police shooting of 29-year-old Black man Jacob Blake. Haynes reports that Lakers and Clippers players left the meeting after casting their votes.

Sources: LeBron James stormed out
Yahoo Sports’ Vincent Goodwill reports that LeBron James initially planned to vote with the consensus, but got angry and stormed out of the meeting.
He also reports that there was frustration that the Milwaukee Bucks decided to initiate Wednesday’s walkout on their own.

The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports that every team besides the Lakers and Clippers voted to keep playing. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Wednesday’s player votes were not final and that discussions will continue through Thursday.

Easier for women. Just pull open cleavage and start licking lips back and forth.

Lebron is past his prime. He knows he can't win. So supporting felons that get shot by cops while committing crimes and resisting arrest is his out. Not the best excuse, but morons still think even if it's outrageously stupid.

Sincere question: Whats the goal of the boycott? Avoid shame and hope it's all normal in 2021?

Personally , I would have been impressed if the teams instead of boycotting the games , would have donated the playoff winnings to the local community’s park and recreation dept setting up basketball leagues, and family functions associated with the leagues , aa well as to the family of Blake whose children are obviously traumatized by the event . Boycotting the playoffs doesn’t do a damn thing positive but perhaps tarnish the image of the players and the NBA.

They cannot admit that black people are behaving stupidly. So it must be racism.
12   Ceffer   2020 Aug 27, 10:24am  

Is it full bore retard or just pitiful mental disability when you don't have the forebrain to understand that you aren't taking a stand, you are shooting yourself in the foot.

Yes.

If left wing media (CNN / MSNBC) and political parties weren't constantly sacrificing America, in order to please any leftist that screams racism we'd be in a better place as a nation. We'd have law and order.

But what we have is a whole fucking generation conditioned that as long as they scream "racism", entire leadership of this country puts on kneepads and services the account. Of course they are going to be pushing for more of whatever the fuck they want, they've been taught by our leaders and the elite that that's how you get what you want. Fucking Joe Biden probably has his knee pads wear out on a daily basis from all the pleasing he does for BLM. Honestly same can be said of most Republican doormats too.

If this shit doesn't stop now, we'll be really fucked as a nation. It already became perfectly fine to hate white people, or those perceived as white. Black crime is generally excused. While any police enforcement action, even one that goes wrong is labeled racist and whites are vilified like Jews in Nazi Germany from the 1930's. Really fucked up shit.

You know with all the college sports being canceled, it is going to be hard for teams to draft next year....but I'm fine with that.

A "fake cop" is not "the police", so the question is self-answering...

Bubble land.

Nobody noticed. Outside of seeing people post about it here, I haven't paid attention or heard much about the NBA. Play or don't play in your bubble, I don't think many people give a shit beside gamblers.

I haven't watched a Basketball game since sometime in the late 90s. Too many points are scored to be interesting.

It's amazing to see one of the most powerful entertainment franchises crumble.

ESPN viewership down 40%.

This might be a case of fucking up so awfully, they decide to go home and hope people forget it all by next year and come back.
