I get it. Sometimes bigger and bigger statements are necessary for change. But are they just gonna play in a couple of days? Or is the season over? If you're gonna make a statement, gotta go all the way. Sucks though.

WNBA will follow as well. Tennis, MLB, and hockey. Bye bye hoops.

All sports should stop being played until the cops who shot a man 7 times in the back unarmed are arrested.

I support the movement but I don’t understand boycotting your own job which wasn’t responsible for any of this.
Like, could any of the rest of us just call out next week because we are boycotting something?
There just going to come back and play in a few days....
Also, does anyone have all the facts on this case? I know most police officers fear for their lives when someone isn’t complying and goes back to their car.
Several police have gotten shot under those circumstances. I’m not justifying what happens but at some point shouldn’t people comply?
Lots of questions.

No they didn’t. They made no sacrifice at all.
If they took a loss, got DQ’d for the game, then it would be the single biggest thing sports has done for “the cause” but otherwise it looks like all they did was get a day of rest.
Are they actually going to speak up where’s the real protest? Dangling their profession in front of America just makes it all look bad.
Man this whole movement needs leadership real bad, just think of what could be accomplished if there was an actual leader here?

And guess what? Nothing will change. Next shooting will happen, again broadcast, again riots and looting. I wish they would actually do something like, I dont know, donate their millions and get their fellow mates out of the ghettos and rehabilitate them to become useful law abiding citizens instead of worthless criminals that get glorified for NOT following laws and rules.

I agree with pavy. All sports should go away until racism ends and people's feelings are legislated. We should hail black people killing each other by the dozens daily, but shut down everything in America until we can control individual bad apple policeman killing a black person randomly and unjustifiably. Good luck.

All of these movements are a lie. They are influenced mostly by demons, that's why they are chaotic and nonsensical. And that's why they are doing irrational things that you are asking questions about. None of these causes or campaigns are virtuous. That's why they always crumble in the end or get thrown under the bus. Pay attention.

You honestly think any other team will play? Im just hoping its limited to 2 days.
Any black that plays today will be seen by their peers as a sellout/Uncle Tom.

So the cops are yelling, "Drop the knife!" Because he wasn't armed. Gotcha.

Donating money won't bring families back together, and yes, both black men and women allowed the government to become the new father, which is the real issue no one wants to talk about. Money doesn't solve that issue.
Destroying the way to make the most money out of their god given talents is only something these guys could come up with, because they don't have knowledge, wisdom or virtue. Just money. And that won't last. It never does with foolish people. It's not horrible not being terribly intelligent, but lacking wisdom, you will ALWAYS pay a big price.

I don’t have all the facts on this case but this guy had multiple warrants and a sexual assault charge...and he wasn’t complying with police when he got shot.
How are the police supposed to know if he is going back to get a gun or not?
They told him to stop and he didn’t?

Well what if these cops you want arrested refuse to be arrested, physically resist multiple attempts, and then duck into their squad car to procure what may or may not be a deadly weapon? Then what?

They should boycott the rest of the playoffs and declare BLM to be the champions.
