Not to take the field = concede ??? As giving the other team a win? Or they’ll just demand playing another date?

As for NBA, all they do is to postpone playing games. Meh!

Any team boycutting any game for political statement should automatically lose such game(s) no matter what sport they play, imo.

Everyone, and I mean everyone, should stop supporting every basketball, football and baseball team in the entire country for 2 years until they stop this virtue signaling. No watching games, buying team gear or going to games if that ever starts again. When these overpaid crybabies have no fans they have no job.

I’m disappointed - they’re going to sit out just one game?

So they are defending Blake who had a restraining order against him which is why the cops were called and now we find he had a knife in the driver’s side of the vehicle per the Wi DA.

I love basketball, but it has not been played at the professional level for at least a couple decades.

I was raised on Brewers baseball. My brothers and I can still word for word celebrate the 87 brewers highlight tape which for a long time was the only highlight this team had.

4 generations of ticket holders going back to the Braves. For my 47 years on this Earth the one thing I always had even in the crap years was Brewers baseball. In many of those years the only thing keeping all out drunken brawls in the bleachers was the presence of Milwaukee County Sheriffs.

This organization turned its back on law and order today and threw in not with the business owners within their 5 county tax base, but sided with a guy who has now admitted he was armed in his confrontation with the cops.

They lost a long time supporter today...the paying type of long time supporter who still went to games when they were crap because the team was a part of my life.

Now they can have the woke crowd as their fans...only they dont give a sh!t about the Brewers.

Only Seguin and Dickinson. I cheer now when they get boarded and hope they get sent to a Seattle. The rest of the team is solid Canucks and northern Euros. They just want to chase the piece of vulcanized rubber and go back to Finland.

Major League Baseball is going to continue pretending that the Wuhanic Plague and fake racism are causing their financial decline that's been going on for over two decades.

Forget baseball, skateboarding is where it's at; where white Communist Democrat punks on skateboards play black Americans for fools.

Don’t these people have contracts? I remember what would have happened to me if I had refused to work. What the hell is going on here?

This may lead to more companies giving millions to BLM and maybe more blacks in TV ads. What is it now? 75%? Make it 100.

Meanwhile, these elitist millionaires seem not to care about innocent blacks being killed by other blacks. So sad it is only as issue when the person doing the act is more important than the deceased.

That’s why they are doing this now. Cardboard fans and giant teddy bears don’t don’t care. If there were real fans then these losers would play.
