Former Vice President Joe Biden is throwing his support behind the budding NBA boycott over Jacob Blake’s shooting by police, arguing that “now is not the time for silence.”

Biden, the presumptive Democrat nominee, took to social media shortly after the Milwaukee Bucks opted to boycott the fifth game of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

I want to praise it as well. Now is the time to cancel the season. Be your own cancel culture and cancel yourself. Sure, the fans will likely never return (not that they were anyway). Sure, your brand will be permanently damaged. But do it for the children!! The children!!!!!

These Negroes are committing cultural appropriation.
Basketball was invented by Dr. James A. Naismith; a White man.

Would be funny if Biden made his silly pronouncements in public and took even softball follow questions.

Solidarity? In this context, it seems to mean that like Jacob Blake defying the cops and putting his life in danger, there are NBA players who want to defy their audience and put their rich livelihoods in danger.

“Now is not the time for silence,” so says the mostly silent, demented candidate hiding out in his basement.

Exactly. Didn’t he go silent for about 90 or so days of protest before chirping about “we have to stop the violence”?

They are boycotting to support a criminal with a long and ugly history, whose girlfriend called police on him, he fought with police, had a knife and got shot.

If that’s what all this fighting is about, they can go to hell.
