After the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks refused to play their Wednesday afternoon playoff game in protest of a recent shooting by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the Brewers have joined them by deciding as a team not to take the field on Tuesday night, per Jared Diamond of the Wall Street Journal.

Just who do they think they’re hurting by doing this? A league of morons and ingrates.
Aw, screw all of you morons.
Fricken heartbroken that I won’t be able to watch oppressed black millionaires playing a game.
I hope they run out on money sooner than later
Shut them down. No more of this.
You’re absolutely right. The NBA is committing suicide.
Bats can be used for violence!
No more bats in baseball!
Let them use something organic and good like a cucumber.
They really have no idea what the average American and American business has been through the past months... F ‘em.
Wow
You can do anything you want as an employee?
Forfeit!
A loss, and they should not be paid.
I sure hope they give the Reds the W.
Gee, America just can’t or doesn’t want to work...
Great. I wish they’d al quit playing and go back to stealing crab legs.
That was a football player right?
Okay, I hope they all go back to beating up their girlfriends.
If they really care the team will refuse to take a salary for the games they boycott.
by caving to this nonsense and not simply announcing that “boycotting” teams automatically forfeit, the NBA league has now opened itself to unlimited extortion by its own teams ... not that that’s a bad thing, mind you ...
Have they seen this?
Mother of Jacob Blake unloads on violent rioters, apologizes to President Trump on CNN
She added, "I'm not mad at you [President Trump] at all. I have the utmost respect for you as the leader of our country.
Nothing like acting without all the facts.
Dipsh*ts.
Apparently Reds have caved and said they don’t want it treated it as a forfeit so they are withdrawing from the game as well. Other teams are also considering going on strike or whatever you want to label this madness. MLB is as bad as the NBA at this point. Screw them all.
Like I give a rats butt
So they forfeit and that should be the end of the season for them.
