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. The Bucks, who were set to face off against the Orlando Magic, decided to not take the court in solidarity with Jacob Blake, the 29-year-old African American man from Kenosha, Wisconsin, who was shot in the back seven times by police. 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.

Hahaha, very few people cared when they were dribbling the ball. Now they are going to take their millions and go sulk away home? At least go riot and burn things down, prove you are down with the cause. Just stay away from Libertarians with guns.
“Biden, the presumptive Democrat nominee...”
Uhhh, hello, journalist wannabe, editor wannabe... He IS the Democrat nominee. The Democrats had their convention last week. Joe won. He gave a speech. Picked a running late. It was on TV...
Maybe you guys missed it.
Makes no sense.
This guy is a bigger jack-off than i thought capable!
What an idiot!!!!
CHINA IS A$$HOLE!!!
Yet silencing themselves is exactly what the nba is about to do. And they don’t even realize it.
Joe Biden Praises NBA Boycott: ‘Now Is Not the Time for Silence’

I can’t imagine that Joe’s position on this is popular with most sports enthusiasts.

Based on what I have seen and read, I have to agree with you. Well said.
Also, he's not missing his office pool or Draft Kings sports gambling fix.
Biden with dementia is inciting revolution?
Rollerball, now more than ever.
The Rayshard Brooks and Jacob Blake shootings will only help Trump..... The American people gave a pass to the George Floyd protesters..... But when two more losers with rap sheets resist arrest and get themselves killed, after all this violence and looting, the American people are not going to go along with endless unrest every time the dregs of society don’t obey law enforcement...... Idiots like Lebron James are totally misreading what’s going on.... there is a backlash against this BLM crap...the DNC knows it, but they can’t control their brainwashed flock of ignorant fools
I suspect that Joe Biden’s handlers have realized that now is indeed the time for silence, at least with regards to Ol’ Joe himself.
Watch for this pathetic old coot to be locked back up in his basement and well-muzzled in the weeks ahead.
So Biden thinks siding with rioters is going to lead him to victory? I doubt it.
Kneeling for the national anthem and wearing stupid political statements on your uniform does absolutely nothing to address the problems these guys claim to be so concerned about. Now let's see them give up their jobs for a while and dedicate their efforts to fixing these problems.
Lakers and Clippers have already said they’re sitting out the rest of the playoffs.
If that stands, the NBA playoffs are over.
That means ... the NBA is now hostage to any political protest. So, the NBA can never have a normal season again, is now effectively controlled by its workers. Marxism in action!!
Way to commit suicide, idiots. Can’t believe the NBA owners are this stupid!!!
(well, we’ll find out shortly ... the Board of Governors meeting starts in a few minutes ... wonder how much yelling is going on in there)
even money they will play games by tomorrow....these dumbasses dont even understand what the hell they are even doing....the one scholar had to read from a prepared statement.
So nobody watches the NBA. So they alienate what few viewers they got and protest by n pop t being on TV that no one watches. Can’t make up the stupidity of how to draw attention to your cause when no one misses you
So every time there is a shooting they will go on strike? I dont see the downside.
