Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris used the phrase “monumental courage” to describe decisions by the NBA and WNBA to cancel games, in protest of the officer-involved shooting of Jacob Blake.
On October 26, 2020, Breitbart News reported that the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks opted to boycott the fifth game of the Eastern Conference playoffs in light the August 23, 2020, officer-involved shooting of Jacob Blake. As a result of the Bucks’ decision, the NBA announced it would postpone three other playoff games set to take place as a show of support.

Is Heels Harris even into any non-career enhancing “sports”?
Courage?
No, courage would be addressing the 20 black men killed by other black men each and every day. Blue cities are killing black people like Auschwitz killed Jews. Systematically and on purpose.
Perhaps, but she needs to refer to these ball bouncers as HEROS, we need to kneel in their presence.
I think they called off the stoppage after 1 day.
Monumental courage?
courage as they take a day off and can afford to, or how about speaking out how blacks are killing blacks and blacks doing crimes on whites. Black men account for around 5% of the population but are responsible for 52% of violent crime in the country
What if NBA figured it’s now cheaper, only costs them salaries, not even to play?
I wouldn’t care about that, either, just seems like their only overhead now is salaries, the rest is opportunity cost.
The only people hurt are the concessions, local business and maintenance crews that aren't earning big bucks.
The hits just keep on coming.
I still can’t believe what a horrible job by the Kenosha police. Not aiming for the head. Come on guys
There’s no “courage” to being in a mob.
Did she hug their balls?
There are no concessions. They are playing in a closed court in Orlando. Most of the camera work is remote.
The reason the players got all worked up is that they are all cooped up in an echo chamber.
Courage?? Let me know when any one of them gives up a paycheck.
Courage would be refusing a paycheck and quitting your job.
Everyone I know is sick of looking at and hearing from LeBron James. He is personally ruining whatever is left of the NBA. DJT should put his and Kamel’s face on a campaign button and ship them to the DNC. He’d be good for a 10 point bump.
LOL.
Monumental stupidity.
I’d like to see them strike for 10 years or so.
colossal ignorance
