NBA to Trump: Resign or We’ll Never Play Again [For the impaired - this is satire]
Bust a Roll. org ^ | Pete Strocker

Posted on 04/04/2020 6:16:45 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

The National Basketball Association recently suspended its season. At the time, the reason given seemed justified, given the emergence of COVID-19 and that several players in the league have now tested positive. However, it has been confirmed by anonymous sources that a league shutdown has been in the making for months and that they were simply looking for a good excuse to shut it all down.

The players, led by Washington Generals All-Star Power Forward Art Tubolls, held a secret vote prior to the beginning of the season to suspend the league for any credible reason until President Donald Trump resigns from office or is voted out. Since much of the league is made up of Hollywood actor and musician wannabes, these millionaire crybabies overwhelming voted to approve the measure.

Tubolls said:

“Our league is the most popular league in the world and we have a lot of teams in the swing states. We know that we cannot directly pressure the President into resigning but if we can hold his approval rating hostage and make the people scream for his removal, that’s what we’ll do. Worst case is that we get him out in November. We have a plan for the rest of this season if we get our way and we have a schedule set to begin on January 21, 2021 if it comes down to it.”

The liberal elite has been relentlessly attacking our country and our President.

First, LeBron James threatened the sit out unless our National Anthem is no longer being played before games and now this. Even the NHL and Major League Baseball have joined this futile effort. We all need to stand firm and show these overgrown millionaire toddlers that they need us more than we need them this November.

Satire. But in reality, it ain't the NBA I remember growing up.

Basketball is the only sport which get more boring as the level of competition goes up.

A 5'8" kid making a three point shot at the high school level is very exciting.

It is still pretty exciting at the college level.

At the NBA level, it is ho-hum partly because 6'8" players aren't unusual and 5'8" players are.

“it ain’t the NBA I remember growing up.”

I miss the ABA. That dates me, but so what.

I’d be fine if the NBA never played again.

the NBA loves China so much, go play there.

By the way, I haven’t heard much out of LeBron James & Steve Kerr lately, after their China love fest before the Wuhan Virus broke out.

Ha Ha

Sorry guys, Nike can’t afford to have 750 or so overpaid prima dona spokespukes on the payroll.

But there’s a hamburger joint ‘round every corner.

Practice your “fries into hot oil” “dunking” technique

I’d rather watch a bad college game than any NBA game...

Same with football...

THAT is what all of the problems this country has been having are about. If Trump were to resign tomorrow, the Democrats would suddenly open the country up, re-start the economy and claim we don't have a problem with this virus and it is just another flu.

They would also just about FORCE some medical researchers to come up with a vaccine NOW to get it stopped. They are probably deliberately holding up that research through their influence in order to crash the economy to try and force Trump from office. If they ever get back into full power, it's going to be hell to pay for the states that voted for Trump. This is far from over. Their hatred for him and US has been unmasked.

Ah, crap. This was satire? Man, I was feeling like that guy in the movie, The Longest Day, when he heard the announcer on the radio say, "John has a long moustache." Shoot. Ah, well. Maybe another beer will drown the disappointment. Or at least make it gasp for air.

The Washington Generals were/are the opponents of the
Harlem Globetrotters. I don’t think they’ve ever won a game.
