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.

If that stands, the NBA playoffs are over.
The Great Scam can't endure yet another LeBron failure to win a championship.
How are the Lakers and Clippers players going to back down from their grand statements?
If they start playing again they look like idiots.
I really think the players are actually fired up enough to kill the NBA season. Yes, they are that dumb, and they’re being egged-on by Big Leftist Media like ESPN and CNN.
NBA about to become the first true communist sports league (i.e., ownership by the workers!) ... remember this day
I don’t think the players’ hearts were ever in playing anyway.
They refuse to play then the game is forfeited!
yes, let’s move the teams.
Let’s see the Beijing 76ers play the Shanghai Lakers. Then the Wuhan Magic can play the Guangzhou Bulls. Then we can see if the Chongqing Knickerbockers can make the playoffs this year...........
Sen. Tim Kaine (Hillary’s VP choice 4 years ago) has an antifa son... white liberal ‘elites’ are playing the black community for fools - for the upteenth millionth time.
Blacks will take the blame and the white antifa brats will go home to gated communities... great colleges and cushy jobs.
Citizens will look down on blacks for burning their cities. Citizens will hold this against teams... Black citizens lose, white brats move on to next horror, and every other ethnic group decides they don't want to live near the black community. NBA players will still buy mansions in White Neighborhoods... and pretend that's NOT a racist choice on their part.
I bet Biden doesn’t know that NBA stands for Nothing But Assh#@les.
Who was watching the playoffs anyway??
I bet ratings in the tank..
Great strategy, guys.
Of course all you players will continue to be paid and idolized, forever if need be. Those white owners don’t have the nerve to cut you!
And Joe, way to jump on this bandwagon. The best way to win back the black vote is to cancel all their NBA playoff games!
“Woke” = “Stupid”
First, celebrities and athletes are not pad to be social justice warriors they are paid to ‘entertain’ people, and as far as I am concerned they are paid to damn much. So if they want to sit out from their ‘jobs’ I don’t really give a damn as long as they aren’t getting paid for it. I also think everyone from the commissioners down to the coaches should get zero salaries while there is no competition. I wonder if these mental giants, these social justice morons have a clue or give a damn about all the tens of thousands of ‘little’ people whose jobs and livelihoods are disrupted by multimillionaires who can easily afford to take a pay vacation? Probably not because they are self centered, arrogant, conceited asses that believe the world revolves around them and that all the ‘little’ people should march to their dumbbeat.
told ya they would go back to playing...these knuckle draggers dont think things thru...too damn stupid.
