in a sane world, the Bucks would have simply have forfeited the game for not showing up ... by kow-towing to this nonsense, the NBA has now opened themselves to unlimited future extortion by their own teams ... it couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch ...

I love that the NBA is doing this.

I haven’t seen a baseball game yet and I’ve sworn off them since they started putting BLM on the pitchers mound.

Its too bad to see MLB going full woke. So long baseball, been nice knowing ya......

“...Great news. Less revenue for the NBA and players...”

These clowns are definitely not the sharpest tools in the shed.
IF it weren’t for the “ball”, most em would be outfitted in prison-orange and hi-vis vests picking up trash on the sides of America’s highways & byways under the watchful eye of armed prison guards.

Isn’t it about time Americans got past professional sports altogether?

**************

Yes, long since past the time to stop watching these overpaid ingrates.

When their lucrative contracts start getting cut watch them change their tune.

“”””Isn’t it about time Americans got past professional sports altogether?””””

I got past it many years ago. I remember when Kevin Garnet got something like 126 million over six years. I believe I figured it out that he would make about 60 thousand dollars a day each and every day for six years. .

No Playoffs = no low ratings to make excuses for.

So if the Milwaukee Bucks don’t play Game 5 isn’t that a forfeit? Sounds like one to me

But they are ok with the other killings and terrorism by the democrat thugs. James Woods recently had a video on Twitter showing what happens when you let a suspect get in his car.
2 officers shot and the bad guy driving away. Happened in less then a minute.

That, or trying to draw attention away from the successful Republican Convention. Then resume play (with all the speechifying) afterwards.

The thug was assaulting his ex-wife who called 911 on him.

NBA.. like all professional sports is done. Team owners and the leagues have lost the fight because they didn’t fight, they caved.

The solution from the start was STFU and play or your fired. STFU and stand or your fired.
