NBA players have decided to resume the playoffs, a source tells ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Thursday's three playoff games will be postponed. A resumption of the season could come as soon as Friday, but there is expected to be a return to the play by the weekend according to sources.

Players held a meeting at 11 a.m. ET. There will be another meeting Thursday with two players from each team, sources tell ESPN's Tim MacMahon.

Thursday's second meeting is to formulate action plans to address racial injustice issues as well as ironing out details of restarting the playoffs, according to a source.

“Thursday’s second meeting is to formulate action plans to address racial injustice issues as well as ironing out details of restarting the playoffs, according to a source.”

A “once and for all” payment from the owners to BLM? The owners soon to be bankrupted?

Have them go play in China. That is who the NBA works for now.

Hopefully any patriotic American doesn’t care if and when they play. It’s all about money and I think they are realizing the “handwriting on the wall”. . . .sinking revenue. . .big time.

Police officers are guilty, simply because the person being arrested or killed, is/was black. No need to look into the case or facts of the case. The only fact that matters is that, the person who was arrested or killed, was black.

Now, anyone defending him/herself, is also guilty if he/she intervenes in a riot or looting, but only if he/she doesn’t support BLM and/or the democrat agenda. The looters and rioters are never guilty, and they have the right to loot and riot and attack people, if they are BLM and Antifa members, and they mention that they’re doing what they do because of some perceived injustices.

The American justice system is willing to overlook the rioting and looting and attacks, because, they are part of the democrats’ constituencies and there’s an election coming up and democrats don’t want to anger their voters.

Entitled and victimized multimillionaires have decided, while Americans riot and kill one another, and others lannguish at home while their savings disappear, that they want to play. That’s kind of them.

Wasn’t he holding a knife as he walked around the front of the car and reached inside the open door? Could he have been “dumping” the weapon and that’s why it was found on the floor? There was a picture here yesterday with him holding it close to his belly.

Okay, they got me.
The kneeling and slogans on the uniforms are a monumental failure.
Therefore, the next scheme will be more outrageous and also have zero impact to solving whatever they imagine is happening.

They need to leave the bubble at Disney, do not go to Vegas, and not drive through Detroit in their Escalade.
The posers need to walk among the regular folk

all about dat $$$$

the folks at ESPN/Disney, Nike and the players agents were freaking out bad

but ratings are still going to tank... the quality of play is poor, and the woke BLM shit is turning off white viewers, the ones that keep the NBA in gravy.
