Man I hope they cancel the season and it causes Queen to lose a title. He does not have the balls the boycott the season - he's the stereotypical paper tiger.

Not playing a game is about as non-violent as it gets.

Good on the players for taking a stand.


Is your metric for 'value' that nothing got burned or looted and no one was raped? Lol!!!

I sincerely hope they keep this up. It would be wonderful if the US no longer elevated racist leftist scum to prominence and gave their vile hate a voice.

Wow! Now the WNBA is canceling games. I'm ready to riot in Kenosha now.

Luckily the WNBA canceling games won't impact ticket sales.

NBA sold tickets ?

People actually pay money to watch multi millionaires complain about their oppression ?

If only Hollywood would boycott now we would have it made.

No NFL?
No NBA?
No MLB?
So what. You can't relate to 95% of these guys anyway.

No more trash movies. No more directors/producers slipping in an ever increasing LGBT influence? That would be heaven!

What is the WNBA and that checkerboard ball those commies kick around played by "women"?

Due process and the presumption of innocence. They want a lynching.


Don't be a thug.

You giving the cops due process?

Thanks for playing.


You misunderstood. You asked what are the NBA players taking a stand against?

The answer is Due Process and the presumption of innocence. They don't want an investigation. They want the officer arrested immediately and punished for his crime. They basically said as much.


My bad. Preach on.
Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

If they don't play again It is more of a player's strike than a boycott. Usually player strikes are for wages and/or collective bargaining, things under the owner's control. They are striking over issues the NBA ownership cannot control. I guess the endgame is they virtue signal, pat themselves on the back for "making a difference", and go back to cashing pay checks.

Do NBA players have a right to boycott games for things they see as injustice? Absolutely, yes.

Does it make sense to do so? Absolutely not. This will hurt the NBA financially and it was already being seen as viewership numbers were almost cut in half once play resumed and they were allowed to have their social messages on their jerseys.

It's clear that the majority of people just want to watch sports and not have political opinions shoved down our throats. It's hard to believe in social injustice when everyone there is making multi-millions of dollars. It actually proves that this country is not in fact racist but a capitalistic society where if you can bring value, you will be paid.

They have every right to protest, the viewers have every right to not watch. It's showing and will continue to show that it will be a bad business decision by the NBA, which will in turn, hurt the players paychecks.

If this country is so racists, why do we have so many professional black athletes and wealthy ones at that?!?

We suck at racism.
