Their ratings were in the toilet anyway.
Their preening, lecturing, smug hypocrisy knows no ends.
Big, big, big supporters of Communist China and its human rights abuses. Now tired of time in their “bubble” and trying to wrap themselves in a moral cloak before packing it up and going home part way into their playoffs.
All for civil rights and negatively judging the majority of the population on their morality, while slobbering into action after a few selective seconds of a video clip.
Their “leaders”, such as Jaylen Brown not only can’t wait to get out with the Marxist rioters and looters, but pressures that you are morally deficient if you don’t get yourself out there with them.
Nobody was watching anyway. I’ve said it before, if these selfish “men” were truly interested in social justice they would be spending their time helping their communities, they would be encouraging companies to open businesses in areas that would provide jobs, they would be mentoring kids and funding scholarships for youngsters to get into properly functioning schools.
So, yeah, walk out nobody cares.
Will anyone notice?
Among the big three pro sports, NBA is a mediocre third in fan attendance and support. They are playing from a position of weakness here although they are too self absorbed to know it. Few will notice or charge whether they play again this year or not. Mostly just gamblers, who will miss the action.
Liberals ruin everything but basketball was already gone. Who cares?
Covid couldn’t get them to cancel but criminals being dealt with was a bridge too far. Good. Now get outta my town assholes.
It’s possible that the ratings and attendance is so bad that advertisers were bailing out to such a degree that there was no financial backing?
This player strike is possibly a cover up of the serious financial troubles of the league.
Why don’t they just cut to the chase and play ALL their games in China?
All they are doing is creating an excuse to end the season so that they can hide the low viewership resulting from their antics.
They want to do for the NBA what BLM wants to do for America; totally destroy it. For the NBA, I am all for it.
IF you refuse to show up & do your job-— have you effectively QUIT your job?
IF so do your paychecks immediately STOP?
You lso should NOT be eligible for Unemployment-—YOU QUIT.
No NBA? How can I *possibly* go on?
Make sure they do not get paid. That all season ticket holders get their money back or if still interested then lifetime free tickets.
Yawn.
Finally some good news out of the junk basketball at its finest NBA.
