at the risk of sounding dumb, what is sitting out gonna do? the only people still watching nba are the ones that are aware of these issues and want change as well. ratings are down and one of the presumed causes of that is how NBA tries to be socially active regarding these issues.
If that's the actual reason ratings are down then might as well just boycott the games entirely
What, are we trying to win back racists

Keep in mind that many of these players give lots of money and time to these causes in the off-season, too.

I think what’s being missed in the, “What will this accomplish,” thoughts is that — you have to try regardless. The players are making a loud statement that they are doing all that they can within their station as players.

I’ll be real with you guys
George Hills comments were real buttttttttt he wouldn’t have gotten his voice out there if he wasn’t in the bubble. Kenny Smith said it best “they’ll listen to and want to hear what LeBron, Giannis, Steph,CP3 say because they are the faces of the nba but role players have a harder time so the bubble helps them speak out”
This season really will be a wash now. They’ll come back on Christmas Day most likely

kyrie was right
By reilo Go To PostNow we'll see if other teams do it and force the NBA's hands. That would make an impact.force their hands to do what?
so...if this is more than a today thing then they're just going to cancel the bubble right?
there def won't be any ball today

By DY_nasty Go To Postkyrie was rightDonate some money and put out a PR

They need to try and force the nba and the teams show tangible proof they are working to improve things and not just decals on a court and donation of money to “empowerment”
Edit: a good starting point is the Hawks using the arena as a voting center.

Silver might wanna cancel the first round or something at this point cuz all the teams are going to do this.
Ultimately futile but good for the Bucks. Also looks like twitter embeds seem to be down everywhere.
i'll believe it when i see it.
people wanting it both ways. guys should've never shown up to begin with if they thought that anything the NBA was gonna do would matter
By jjasper Go To PostThey need to try and force the nba and the teams show tangible proof they are working to improve things and not just decals on a court.....like?

see Adam, that’s why you should’ve immediately went into the playoffs, we’d be in the conference finals or even finals by now
By DY_nasty Go To Posti'll believe it when i see it.Ah you saw. Honestly I don’t know what to do.
….like?
Shout out to the Bucks for doing the right thing.
But all comes down to the next game to see if others join, which i think they will.
It's gonna escalate from here from a team to a league consensus.
Question is...will this be in the RNC tonight...

its a wrap. Bron def aint playin tonight after Giannis and them did this. rest of the league will follow the stars. season is done.
By Nobility Go To PostQuestion is…will this be in the RNC tonight…Probably. Since they've decided to still hold their convention as a category 4/5 hurricane makes landfall. It's courageous, really.
racial oppression is a bipartisan issue but ight lol.... i can't even head nod for the bucks because of how dumb this shit gets
just vote harder and cops will stop shooting. thanks allies

Yeah if they shut down the season that would be a powerful message. When people look up the 2020 champion 100 years from now they'll learn about this fight.
It's a great moment. They're not giving white folk the satisfaction of seeing athletes competing because enough is enough. Your city is a mess, but you're gonna play frivolous basketball in a secure bubble? Nope. There is unrest in their community. Unrest that has gotten another people killed by a fucking punk ass white kid. Fuck playing basketball when this is going on.

nah Bron and CP3 got no choice but to ride w/ this now
By RATHasReturned Go To PostThis is a joke to you?no, its nothing is what it is. i said i respect the gesture for milwaukee and their community but if you think that the nba is your ignition point for change then you're not in the same reality as me
By domino Go To Postnah Bron and CP3 got no choice but to ride w/ this nowfew more hours til they're really on the spot
By DY_nasty Go To Postno, its nothing is what it is. i said i respect the gesture for milwaukee and their community but if you think that the nba is your ignition point for change then you're not in the same reality as meCool. Thanks for telling on yourself. I'll know not to engage with you moving forward on this subject.
well i'll be damned. i'll take a pleasant surprise for a change
especially when i was in here saying they shouldn't have even restarted the season in the first place
By RATHasReturned Go To PostCool. Thanks for telling on yourself. I'll know not to engage with you moving forward on this subject.lol thanks for the support

Bucks should’ve came on the court and spoke to the audience
Would’ve been interesting to see if they would’ve been cut off or had the mics cut
But this works too
