That’s it for basketball. The high salaries will dry up as lots of white fans decide they’ve had it. They’ve killed the golden goose.
My dad was a huge sports fan; he must be turning over in his grave. My sister and I went with him and his friends to every Chicago sports team event. That buzzer sound at the end of a quarter still makes me sleepy (Pavlovian response, LOL!).
Anyway, politics were never an issue. It was about fun and competition between cities and just relaxing.
If you can’t get two or three hours free from the cr*p that is going on in the U.S. today, well, then basketball and any other sport that engages in activist stuff like this is dead.
Perhaps Americans will turn to hockey as an alternative. It’s a great sport and winning the Stanley Cup is a real achievement.
I read a comment on FR that the NHL is “ALL IN” on the BLM bs. as well.
How can a team with people from all over the country vs another team with people from all over the country be about competition between two cities? It’s all a false notion in the first place.
