Teams are boycotting games

Here’s the thing..... remember last night it was the Raps and the Celtics that got together and came up with the idea of boycotting FIRST..... so they haven’t even had their chance yet to protest. So you know for a fact they aren’t playing any games tomorrow.

 

...aaaaaaaaand done.

 

Sucks, man.

 

If Lakers and Clippers decide to forego rest of season other teams should join. No one wants asterisk championship.

And in that case the players should agree on actions. Don't just go home to cushy houses and chill with family. I know LeBron is active (hate he's a Laker but love his activism) and so are WNBA players.

 

Got to admit i felt this bubble thing would get cancelled due to Virus concerns. I never thought it would get cancelled for Racism.

 

So what you are saying is Players decided to do this knowing it will effect their future paychecks. I would think that is the point really. They don't care. They are done with the injustice.

 

That has been my question from the beginning. I have never really seen any tangible demand from a lot of the protesting, and this recent boycott is nothing different.

Or is this simply a shot across the bow? A show of power?

 

Without an endgame, an attainable goal set as a president, there will only be confusion, chaos and disgruntled people. Including protesters. they aren't happy, because they are protesting, obviously. So what is the end game to make people happy? Is it the initial effort to get the ball rolling on all front,s or is it to wait until all the balls have stopped rolling?

I mean. We know what the problems are, but where are the steps, lines, goals?

I think there should be timeline goals with steps. Not one end game, but a serious of steps to achieve and as long as those steps are being climbed.....

 

No, we don't. You are 100% wrong on that one. Some people know-- but the people in charge, don't.


The VP chief of staff was on CNN this morning calling the NBA protests "silly," without even attempting to care about what it was about.

 

"We" was in reference to those complaining about injustices. Not those dismissing them. I was referring to those who are looking for change. They know what the problems are. But they don't have an end game. Not sure why you would think i'm speaking of someone not having an end game when they don't know what the problems are.

 

Just what I figured. Lebron makes a big scene about how they should end the season to save face then the season continues. What a joke.

If the season continues, this wasn't "brave" on the players part and they certainly didn't "sacrifice" anything. Postponing a game isn't sacrifice. It's a way to say look at me, look at what I'm doing, I'm a good person. Nothing more. It's not going to change any important social issues the country has.

Perhaps I'm too cynical but this all just feels like window dressing for some of the players (not all I'm sure).

 

What's interesting to me is that the protests and actions of the players have already achieved quite a bit. People freak the fuck out when cops shoot someone now. In the past people would just shrug their shoulders but now we see immediate protests. If people think that police violence is going to stop over night, they're gonna have a bad time. This is going to take a while. I guess by continuing this kind of thing, they're showing that they're not just gonna go away. They're not just gonna get over it.

 

Hope the Lakers boycott. Then counts as us as beating them!
