I guess if they are refusing to play. The rest of the teams should carry on.
The NBA should punish the teams for it. They can tell them no playoffs for the next 3 years for the players no matter what team they play on. Only for the players though that did this.
My guess is the NBA is regretting starting this whole thing back up. They thought that the BLM crap would have people flocking to the TV to watch their games.
What they discovered is that their woke marketing people do not understand their own audience. The BLM crap on the sidelines, the badges on the coaches, and the stuff on the backs of the uniforms could, at best, be described as distractions. At worst, those things turned off a majority of their audience.
On top of that, their games came across as if they were a bad AAU tournament. (Anyone whose kids were half decent basketball players know exactly what I am talking about.)
AAU tournaments are only fun for the players and their parents. No one would watch them on TV.
The owners must be burning through cash. They are OK with putting a stop to it.
