Gaurenteed contracts. Get the money and stay at the mansion in the gated community while you cry about being oppressed.

[StAntKnee]

Once again proving how clueless they are. Now they’ve PO’d the last of the diehard fans, too.

[Russ]

Black privilege on display. They carp about inequality and they're right. They need to transfer their multi-million dollar incomes to their less fortunate fellow blacks.

Basketball could disappear completely and hardly anybody would notice.

NFL - $13 billion - 267 matches
NBA - $4.8 billion - 1,312 matches

[Pearls Before Swine]

Do they get paid?

Are they putting their money where their mouths are?

[EEGator]

Every single day was nonsense.
Only good days on the courts were mostly White with a couple older Black males (30-50 y/o)

So this is a first. People boycotting themselves.

You can see a car lot: “No, I’m going to punish you by NOT selling you a car.”

Allllrighty then.

[Howie66]

The best response that I can muster is: “Who f**king cares?”

[ealgeone]

lebrainless knows the league is going down in terms of viewship.

that's why he wants to bail.

[ballplayer]

Who the hell cares!

[Enlightened1]

Lebrainless... Haha!

That’s great! I love it!

An ESPN person, whom I had not known of previously, demonstrated why ESPN has now become far better known for politics than for sports. She called out the NHL for being the only sport that failed to stop to honor the Kenosha Riot. I, speaking for myself, raise a single finger to her. I invite all to guess which finger!

The players calling it a boycott does not make it one. They are withholding their labor, not their money - the action is a strike.

[Texas resident]

My cousin works for Fox Sports. He has had a rough time this year.

[T.B. Yoits]

I believe you're right that the NBA misjudged their profits versus expenses with the modified season and miscalculated how many fans would boycott watching the games. The league will use fake racism as an excuse to shut down their failed season and not face penalties on their television contracts or be found in breach of contract.

Cowards...every last one of them.

[Kickass Conservative]

Hope their paychecks are boycotted.

[Rj Snows]

Cancel everything

[Sirius Lee]

America to NBA: “How can we miss you if you wont go away?”

[libertylover]

Oh, that’ll really hurt us, won’t it?

[Undecided 2012]

I think something funny would be for the owners to NOT renew their next players contract and contract with a hiring firm who holds a lottery in each city and picks 12 regular guys for 1 week from that city. Then each week 12 new players play. That way when OKC plays NY it really will be OKC vs NY, KInd of like the old old days.
