I would be willing to bet the players that are for this are all on the communists Chinese payroll.

Just what’s expected from the NBA Black Privileged azzholes.

They could have played, probably gotten the league to dedicate the playoffs to some racial justice charity (the league has gone along with everything else so far, so why not), played their hearts out as a distraction from the rioting and inspiration to the youth about positive social change, and then donated all of their salaries to that charity as well.

They did this instead.

I actually tried to watch a couple of games with my son. I saw multiple instances of a 6’3” or 6’4” guy driving the lane and dunking without being put on his butt ... in the Playoffs! My Captain Obvious observation is that it isn’t 1990 anymore. No defense is played at all. Unwatchable garbage.

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?

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!

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!

[Sgt_Schultze]

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

[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?

[BlackAdderess]

As long as the CCP is bankrolling them they will do this I think. They would lose market share over here. In the competition for viewers, it’s been a monopolistic sh*t show for years, and that may be what they are counting on to minimize their losses.

The kids around here who would ordinarily be on the neighborhood basketball courts are getting into bikes, motorbikes, and that will probably turn into an interest in mechanics, which would be a good thing.

[fedupjohn]

I vote you all boycott the season also... can you also boycott 2021-2031???
