I’d rather watch EuroLeague.

Luka Doncic should leave NBA and return to EuroLeague to elevate it as the premier basketball league in the world.

Agree 100%. Mark Cuban doesn’t deserve him.

the NBA only cares about appealing to inner city blacks.

Our side so rarely takes a bow for successful boycotts, but this deserves on!

This was easy. Thugs on the court basically gave the bird to the audience who bought the tickets to watch them play. I guess they don't want money.

I’d rather watch Battle-Bots!

(I did however enjoy the Jordan / Pippen / Paxson / etc Bulls, back with the players had enough sense to back their causes on their own time rather than their assumptions of my guilt).

Nope, Fascist Corporations are fine paying the fees to market their wares during these children game telecasts. Until true American are willing to walk the walk and stop buying their products it’s all talk.

I have no doubt there is a big opportunity for a organized effort to market boycotts of these fascist corporations. It just needs a recognized face / organizer to kick start it.

It’s not basketball - walking, carrying, no defense, double dribbling. They seem too old to play.

3-Point shot killed basketball. Anyone can be a good three-point shooter with enough practice.

Try threading a pass for an easy dunk or layup, now that takes skill.

Yep, good point. I forgot that one. But that raises an interesting question: How does the NBA think it is going to woo (Wu?) the Chicoms with a game now built around inner city black culture, when the Chinese absolutely hate blacks?

point: we are giving up sports ball, sports they we played and loved our whole lives never to return, but...

we are also teaching our young to avoid the wokeball games and they will never love a game that spits on them/their values and on and on.

sportsballs just might of lost the next few generations unless that actually DO wake up.

The exerting comes when they make all their fun babies.

My wife and I have been fans of pro sports for many years. We haven’t watched a game in a couple of years. We are both still Boxing Fans. We continue to be, as Boxing has not exhibited any Woke Politics.
Neither of us is MMA fans. It just smacks a bit too much of the WWE for our liking. We used to attend a few NASCAR races because of the atmosphere. It’s like a huge Tailgate Party but, since NASCAR went Woke we stopped going. We have substituted NASCAR for Horse Racing. No Wokeness there. Yet.

Not a surprise. These entitled players display their contempt for the USA and suffering from injustices while they make millions. They are nothing more than grown men playing a game, a nonessential pursuit.

Yet our police who protect our lives are subjected to hatred and violence (a growing number of them even killed) while making a tiny fractions of the money awarded to NBA players. I would not miss the NBA. But I cannot imagine living in a community with no police.

If the team owners really start panicking, they’ll ask for a few surviving icons to call us ‘racist’ or ‘closeminded’ for rejecting their voice. People like Kareem Abdul Jabar, Michael Jordan, Magic Jackson. They still won’t get it, till it’s too late. I see Larry Bird is still around, all 6ft, 9in of him. Maybe he’ll have something to say too.
