Bucks boycotting playoff game?

Not overly surprised at the players resuming the playoffs nor the boycott in the first place. Players have emotions too and if they have things that would stop them from performing their best then they should take the time off to reflect just like any one would take a sick day or a personal day.

They suspended games for Kobe’s death earlier this year. So why can’t they suspend games for social injustice?

Literally the only thing that's changed is that people will take NBA players' opinions on social/political issues even less seriously now, because they couldn't stick to their principles for longer than a day.

Yeah the optics are not good if you're on the other side looking for ammo to use against the movement. Not only that, but the option of boycotting seems toothless now.

Nobody boycotted the day they shot Jacob Blake. Or the day after. It wasn’t an emotional punch like Kobe’s death. They waited until it became the biggest story in the country, so it was all a premeditated stunt. They made threats of ending the season and then they almost immediately backed off. They handled this the wrong way at literally every step.

I don't think the players realize that these extra "social justice messages" they want are now just empty virtue signaling. They pretend to care until it might cost them money.

Nah that was inherent. Licking boots and balls are in his Polish blood.

Also now that the ratings are down 50% I expect them to be down even more after this 13 year old temper tantrum. I tried to watch the playoffs...really didnt mind about the jersey changes and BLM but there's a point you're just not into it anymore. Lebron made the Lakers such an unlikable team at this point also.

there's a difference between telling someone how to use a screw and screwdriver, and telling someone to quit retardedly using screwdrivers on nails.

Fuck these coon ass nigs

I get it why people voted for him. I know quite well a lot of extremely smart and thoughtful people who simply shut up at their working place, don't talk to pollsters or colleagues, because they know that if they disagree with whatever new woke trend exists out there, they will be labeled, they will lose their career, and their business will need to shut down. Them, and not the "idiotic rednecks" which the media focuses on are the type of people who made Trump's victory possible. A lot of them are immigrants to the US, who worked hard as hell, and have achieved the type of success and a living standard that is beyond any dream they had in their countries of origin. What the US provided them with, no other country in the world ever could.

But there is also something to be said about providing a calming voice, toning down the rhetoric, and not inflaming it further even if you disagree with a lot of what is being said. A president should do that more than most. It doesn't cost much to provide a reconciliatory speech during these times, accept that police actions which go too far should be reviewed and if mistakes were made, then there should charges. In fact, by doing so, it only highlights even further the extremist on the other side.

:lmao look who is already working dat agenda for the future

"Calming down the rhetoric" would have to be a bipartisan effort for it to actually work, and we all know the left will never do that.

C'mon man, look at what MSM & the liberal left has been doing for the last 3+ years.. they have literally been doing the opposite of what you're suggesting should be done. As CN said, this is a bipartisan issue & the left will never do that

:lol Bucks players reading their statement off a piece of paper like it's a high school book report

Buck status: BROKEN:rollin

Big Daddy Shlomo says jump, monkeys ask how high? Big daddy ain’t whitey and they know it.

Agreed it's a terrible look for the NBA players. They lost great credibility and weakened themselves by not going through with cancelling the playoffs. It now looks childish and silly that they just postponed the games and brought all this attention upon themselves.

Amen. Even if you agree with the wall tax breaks etc.
What does it hurt to offer a few words of reconciliation or healing in a very turbulent time?
I get he has not been given a fair shake by main stream media but some of that he brought on himself ...but even if its a bunch of fake news we expect our POTUS to rise above it. The bushes were Republicans even more conservative in their core values and did not fan the flames the way Trump does.

Joe and Kamala both push false racial narratives. They aren't going to tone down anything.

Another example of Biden pushing false racial narratives.
