Players on the Milwaukee Bucks called Wednesday for the Wisconsin legislature to reconvene to address police brutality and criminal justice reform after boycotting their NBA playoff game to protest the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
"We are calling for justice for Jacob Blake and demand the officers be held accountable," Bucks guard George Hill said in a statement to reporters as several of his teammates stood behind him. "For this to occur, it is imperative for the Wisconsin legislature to reconvene after months of inaction and take meaningful measures to address police accountability, brutality and criminal justice reform."
"We encourage all citizens to educate themselves, take peaceful and responsible action and remember to vote on November 3," Hill added.

No more Bucks games.
We have - you all haven't.
Go buck yourselves.
they could burn American flags in each corner of the court and the dummy miller lote drinking fans would still tune in and justify it.
That game should have been a forfeit. If both teams failed to get on the floor, each should get a forfeit.
I'm trying to figure out how I lose if they cancel the season or even permanently disband the league. There are only a few jobs ex-NBA players are qualified for - and no I do not want fries with that.
The NBA is a farce.
I bet most of them are skeered of being on the water.

The world doesn’t revolve around your skin color, you preening racist jackass.
There is an “All Hands on deck” meeting that is currently ongoing with all player. They asked the coaches to leave (because most are white apparently) and the word is that if the Owners cannot make satisfactory promises that changes are going to happen...then they are done playing this year. I don’t really know what they think 32 men can do...but they are demanding promises of “change” from the owners or they will end the season.
As Curley Bill would say....”Well..............Bye.”
He had a knife in hand, apparently. ..maybe he was going to hurt(or worse) a kid/woman...
Yeah, we’re tired of Whites getting shot by cops, in more numbers than Blacks. Oh, wait, Whitie doesn’t count.
Players have proven they can make owners do anything they want because the owners want 'the spice to flow'.
The demands are going to be incessant until blacks are in total control.
Take your ball and go home.
Loving this one....Naomi Osaka, a tennis superstar who is JAPANESE/Haitian, who is a citizen of JAPAN, (didnt realize BLM has made it to Japan) has pulled out of the Western-Southern Open tournament, in protest. Its too bad she didnt have the decency to not play at all, thus giving the opponents she beat in the earlier rounds a chance they would still be in the tournament. Another thing that struck me was that she claims it is an all white sport, very disingenuous in that Serena Williams has dominated womens tennis for twenty years and there are many other black pros. In fact, a black woman was President of the USTA for many years.
Here is an excerpt from her press statement:
I dont expect anything drastic to happen with me not playing,” Osaka wrote. “But if I can get a conversation started in a majority white sport I consider that a step in the right direction. “Watching the continued genocide of Black people at the hand of the police is honestly making me sick to my stomach. Im exhausted of having a new hashtag pop up every few days and Im extremely tired of having this same conversation over and over again. When will it ever be enough?
Maybe she can take it up with the Democrat Mayors who run all of these cities where these shootings have taken place.
