Sports games not cancelled because of Breonna Taylor decision (Vanity)?
9/24/2020 | Self

Posted on 09/24/2020 5:00:41 PM PDT by L.A.Justice

Sports games were cancelled because police officers shot Jacob Blake... Athletes were really upset...

Grand jury decision on Breonna Taylor shooting was announced yesterday... Again, many athletes are upset...

I was expecting cancellation of sports games...

However, I have not heard of any...

Lakers are playing tonight...Lebron sounded unhappy about the grand jury decision?

WNBA is playing tonight... Semifinals...

MLB is playing...

Why there is no boycott this time by athletes?

I am surprised that WNBA is playing tonight...I thought the female basketball players felt strongly about the case involving a black woman...

Shooting at someone knocking at the door is not an appropriate response.

Why didn’t the grand jury indict the shooter boyfriend?

They’d never play another game if they kept that up. Somebody managed to wise them up that much.

You indict when you are confident of getting a conviction, not just when you are confident a crime was committed. In this environment they don’t have a chance of a conviction in that case.

Money. It’s all about the Benjamins. Plus, lebrainless is probably advancing to the finals. He wants another title and the nba is trying to gift wrap it for him.

The biggest worry -

They cancel the game, and nobody notices.

I have a question I haven’t had clearly answered so far. I’m sure the answer is out there, but I will ask it now.

Sequence of events:

Cops announce their presence
Boyfriend (or sexual partner) responds by shooting through the door
So, did the cops shoot back through the door? Or did they smash in the door and then shoot?

Do WNBA players and/or the league address male health issues ala other pro sports for womens’ causes? Rhetorical.
