They are so mad at I.C.E. that they went to a basketball game? That showed em!
The NBA canceled its game in Minneapolis today because the league felt it wasn’t safe to play. The NHL is currently playing in Minneapolis and had zero issues with playing its game. The NBA’s decision was 100% political. Good for the NHL on playing.— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) January 25, 2026
It HAS to be satire!
Well said, Clay.
It’s the kind worthless BS AP is known for
What a bunch of drama queens.
Emphasis on the ‘queens.’
Was there a moment of silence held for Alex Pretti at today’s NFL championship games?— Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) January 26, 2026
How many moving vans would be needed to get all of the fainting couches to the destination?
NBA? What a collective group of chi-com puke. F’em.
Kerr is insufferable.
They should stop playing then. Disband the NBA, get real jobs.
Pure BS feel sorry for them story.
The air was full of contrived agony!
Finch and his commie friend Steve Kerr love Moscow on the Mississippi for obvious reasons. It’s commie central.
“The NHL is currently playing in Minneapolis and had zero issues with playing its game”
The NHL plays across the river in St. Paul.
