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. The Brewers had been scheduled to play the Reds at home at 8:10 p.m. ET on Wednesday night.
Earlier on Wednesday, Milwaukee reliever Josh Hader suggested that not playing the game was a possibility.
On Monday night, Brewers reliever Devin Williams scrawled "BLM," the acronym for the Black Lives Matter movement, into the Miller Park mound before he pitched.

Keep it up morons. They can do this because there is no one in the stands anyway. This BS would kill attendance if there was any.
Who is watching anyway?
Boycott your silly games permanently for all I care.
Honestly, if a person can’t get shot by the police after resisting arrest and failing to need police instructions, we as a nation are screwed.
Josh Hader is lecturing people??? Bizarro world.
Geez.....insanity reigns.
Oh, so theyre sticking up for a violent, drugged up, convict sex offender, with weapons who was threatening his family, neighbors and eventually the police.
Got it. This isnt virtue signaling, its vice signaling. Team of complete imbeciles.
Let’s see if the Packers join in so they can lose more fans.
Both teams should be disqualified from further participation in the tourney.
How great would it be if the big 4 sports leagues collapse and we have dozens of stadiums and arenas worth hundreds of millions of dollars sitting empty. Both banks and cities would lose a small fortune.
It’s going to get worse. Leftists on twitter are creaming in their pants about the idea of a “general strike” now.
I’d rather watch a dumpster fire.
These afletes apparently feel so entitled that they dont realize they are
cutting their own throats.
I am looking forward to these average 85 IQ clowns having to go to work.

You would think, if the players wanted to help the guy, they would donate some of their pay for his hospital bills. Maybe even a specific amount from that game. Just a thought. Because in the Midwest we have fund-raisers for peoples’ medical bills all the time.
Just move the NBA to China and be done with it.
They should quit the NBA and join the “Protest League”. Maybe Soros will pay them their millions (or China). Go to hell, NBA, and never come back.
That’ll show ‘em. *eye roll*
