mikemack8 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Any NBA team that boycotts a game should be handed the L, and those players should have to forfeit their $ for that game. The NBA's already tanking ratings are gonna go completely in the toilet due to their wokeness - nice job Silver! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogyman Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 As for ratings, of course they are low. They have games on at 1 in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogyman Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 All today's games were postponed.

Bwestbrook36 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 This is getting ridiculous, I doubt a cop is gonna stop being a crappy cop or not don't do their job because NBA players didn't play a game.

TV Guy Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I'm assuming it's to raise awareness about domestic violence, and to celebrate the law enforcement officer who stopped a violent abuser of women in Wisconsin? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean at the end of the day sports is not that important in the grand scheme of things but, like that's my escape for work and this kind of stuff. Was so looking forward to watch some basketball tonight after a sheety day at work and now nothing. What a horrible year all the way around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you have a league that has an organization that is basically a money funnel for democrat painted on the court. That league commissioner and owner brought this upon themselves.

BDawk_ASamuel Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I get what they're trying to do and the intent is genuine, but in the grand scheme of things it won't change anything. The same way cities burning down and cars being set on fire hasn't changed anything. The confusing part to me is that the NBA has been the most socially conscious league in sports. They've gone out of their way to bring social issues to the forefront and give the players a voice to speak out on whatever they want to speak about. Them sitting out and not playing games actually hurts the league more than it solves the issue. They lose ratings, money, etc. Instead, you would figure they would rally around the league and the platform it's given them to play games while also making your voice heard. I thought that's what the whole point of the slogans on the back of the jerseys were. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver is losing control, fast. That said, seems like his hand was forced by the players. Owners can’t be happy, nor the fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Shades 73 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 So the dumb arse NBA players are meeting to determine if the should cancel, I doubt any of these dopes realize that out of sight out of mind instead of having a platform every night. I consider myself a progressive person in many aspects and this does the opposite of what it intends and I ma so sick of the damn media fawning over these guys saying how wonderful it is that they do this boycott. It helps nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly is he supposed to do if the players don't want to play? He can't force them. Silver has been a very good commissioner for the league unlike other commissioners for other leagues. He can't tell them get their arses out there and play or else. That won't end well for him. He has a fine line to tow and trying to ignore the issues and telling them to play or else will just make the players pissed off even more.

DaEagles4Life Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I applaud them for standing up for what they believe in, if it means risking the rest of the season. I doubt the leaders would just cancel the season, go home, sit on the couch, and do nothing. Maybe for them it means getting the young black community out to vote and vote people who have a genuine interest in their voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
