This is why you tell your people to shut the fuck up about politics and just do their jobs, especially if they're celebrities, which every career athlete is. Because if you allow them to get away with some "small" stuff at first, like wearing slogans on their uniforms or kneeling during the National Anthem as a statement, they'll start pushing for more extreme stuff that will put your business in jeopardy. All the while expecting you to keep paying them the exorbitant salary they already earn.
I'm OK with this, because this is the sort of thing that is going to destroy professional sports. People haven't been attending games for months, and now that they're starting to be able to they're not going to want to. Which means they're going to start getting used to life without watching pro sports and be less likely to tune in later or go to games.
Most of these leagues are legal cartels that have way too much power and influence and convince stupid governments to spend yours and my tax dollars to subsidize their businesses. Let them die.
Agreed. I hate professional sports as well, and I in particular hold a grudge against basketball because it was the game I hated to play the most when forced to in gym class. Sure, I'm petty, but then again, so are these overpaid assholes. And they're shills for China anyway, so fuck them even more.
I used to hate professional sports for the huge amounts of money their shit stadiums leech from the government, but now they're even worse with Chinese Communist money playing the low IQ felons like puppets. Please, let them die forever. Wanna watch basketball? Start a pickup game. Fuck these millionaire scum.

Bingo. I don't have a problem with athletes having/expressing political opinions, but keep it off the field, court, whatever. When it's game day, you're on the clock, do you job
I wish I could decide to not go to work because something across the country vaguely upset me. If I did get away with it, I certainly wouldn't get paid for it while I'm certain they still will.
But you know, I'm the privileged white guy to their oppressed black.
Cool, just fire them, demand the money for the season back and cut their contracts. Let them all go running to Nike to suck chinese dick for a pay cheque.
The NBA canceled all three playoff games scheduled for Wednesday evening after the Milwaukee Bucks decided not to take the floor for their game against the Orlando Magic in a boycott meant to bring attention to social justice after the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
"We're tired of the killings and the injustice," Bucks guard George Hill said...
The NBA and the NBPA today announced that in light of the Milwaukee Bucks’ decision to not take the floor today for Game 5 against the Orlando Magic, today’s three games – MIL-ORL, HOU-OKC and LAL-POR have been postponed. Game 5 of each series will be rescheduled.
No one fucking cares nba, as evidenced by your shit ratings. Please cancel the season and watch as half your fan base doesn't come back. Ask baseball how that works out.
I mean I get it. If the police can just shoot anyone who stands accused of raping a minor, that's most of the NBA quaking in their boots that they'll be next getting seven rounds in the back
I bet many players are embarrassed that all the time off has made them rusty and probably don't want anyone to see how out of shape they are, in addition to the Chinese Communist influence using them to aid in the demoralization of our society.
Just count it as a forfeit and move on. You can only drag along a normie for so long before he realizes what's happening and how he's being used.
Oh no! You mean they're cancelling millionaire felons playing a children's game? WHATEVER WILL WE DO?
Nothing is hallowed to them, they don't respect anything.
Don't forget the piercings and hard drug use, not to mention their multiple felonies especially violent crimes.
Because of course, they demand everything BUT THEM change.

Their ratings are already in the shitter with everyone locked down and desperate for entertainment, this will only crater it even more somehow
That's how bad it is -- people who are almost literally trapped in their houses would still rather do anything than watch the NBA.

Official tweet from the NBA:
No ones watching anyway.

why should they be allowed to refuse to do the one thing they exist to do? fire them all.

Good, sports are gay anyway
I bet they still want to be paid though even though they won't play
