Following the lead of the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks, who went on strike rather than participating in their postseason game against the Orlando Magic, the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers decided not to play on Wednesday night as a response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis.

There are things much bigger than sports. We the American people are going to participate in those activities. We don’t need to watch a bunch of grown men playing kid’s games. Hope you enjoy your new line of employment whatever that may be
Why don’t all professional sports teams shut down? Why just for one day? Why not until all racism, hate and bad cops are eliminated? This would be a serious statement not just weak virtue signaling.
Works for me. Especially if their million-dollar paychecks stop.
I feel bad for the bars though. They make good money off of tailgating and people watching the games who can’t watch them at home.

I cannot believe this self-destructive stupidity.
At the very minimum, pro sports teams need to show solidarity with BLM and get rid of all cops/security at their games, team headquarters, team hotels, etc.
These fools are the architects of there own demise. The woke fools in American organized sports are in the process of killing The Goose that laid the Golden Egg. For these fools who if not for God-Given physical talents would have jobs asking, do you want fries with that?
They are just too spoiled rotten and ignorant to realize this. And, the team owners and managers are too cowardly to hit them upside their heads with the truth.
Well, reality will soon set in as their viewership continues to decline and ad revenue follows, and then, their salaries follow suit.
Professional sports committed suicide when they gave up sports and became marxist political organizations. I’m done with all of it.
Darn. I was so looking forward to not watching overpaid, spoiled, self-righteous, virtue-signaling athletes play.
The pro sportsters need to be active in ending “racism” before I will listen to them. I mean ALL of them ALL the time. Till then...get outta town you ninnies. The “woke” Borg like groupthink is really stupid.
Who is watching anyway? These fools have no idea how they have alienated their fan base. The NBA ratings are abysmal. There are more Chinese watching these telecasts than Americans. That tells you everything you need to know when sports go wok.
I’m not worried until the video games, that I already own, go on strike. Then I will get angry about my choices of entertainment going on strike and not being there for me.
Virtue signaling bankruptcy to soon follow.
The only time you can be considered woke enough is when you’ve been martyred.
Exactly!
do these creeps get paid?....talk about privileged....
I think they think viewership is down due to COVID.
That’s precisely why it should be “up.”
we know the truth now....
the shine if off that star....
Just like the post a black square in FB/Twtter/Instagram for a day than back to normal.
