MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said the organization would "continue to fight for better" in the aftermath of a jury's verdict Friday that Kyle Rittenhouse, who fatally shot two men and wounded another during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year, was acquitted of all charges.
The Bucks performed a wildcat strike during the NBA's playoff bubble in Orlando, days after a white police officer shot Jacob Blake, a Black man, in August 2020 and one day after Rittenhouse shot three people in the protests over police violence that followed.
Budenholzer anticipated having a conversation with the team ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
"Still trying to push for better in our country," Budenholzer said prior to the game. "Hoping for improvement. Organizationally, just continue to fight for social justice, for better. But at the same time, have to abide by the jury and the decision and the verdict and continue to fight for better."
Rittenhouse had been charged with homicide, attempted homicide and reckless endangering after killing Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and wounding Gaige Grosskreutz, now 28, with an AR-style semi-automatic rifle during a tumultuous night of protests.
Rittenhouse -- who is white, as were those he shot -- pleaded self-defense. He could have gotten life in prison if found guilty on the most serious charge, first-degree intentional homicide, or what some other states call first-degree murder.
The anonymous jury, which appeared to be overwhelmingly white, deliberated for close to 3½ days. The exact racial makeup of the jury wasn't clear because jurors were not asked about their race in court.

Just shut up and dribble.
What a tool.
He had better concern himself with fighting for new fans. Fake Sports is rapidly going the way of Fake News.
If you’re a patriot, you’ll boycott the NBA. They’ll rather take the money from the CCP.
Does “better” include the domestic tranquility Blake demonstrated in life?
What a maroon ...
I guess being being “woke” and “Muh China” say otherwise?
RE: Milwaukee Bucks to ‘continue to fight for better’ after Kyle Rittenhouse found not guilty in Kenosha protest shootings
What “better” results can one ask for? Justice was served. Unless for the team, INJUSTICE and LYNCHING an innocent person is what they support....
The only thing the NBA is fighting for is a larger share of the Chinese market.
Ol’ author of this, Jamal.. Seems to have a certain leftwing fetish:
Rittenhouse — who is white, as were those he shot

For better what? For child diddlers rights to attack people?
Fight for a-holes refraining from rioting, looting and burning? Sounds like a plan.
Fight for better what? Pay for playing a kids game?
Oh well I don’t watch pro basketball and don’t care.let them strike and close down who cares..
Race. Race. Race...
America is red, white, and blue.
“who fatally shot two men and wounded another during protests”
They could have added “who were attacking him with weapons”.
Communist whores all
Just propaganda mouthpieces for totalitarian dystopia
