They want to rot in that hotel for longer then required, that's their problem. Not a big deal if its just a 1-2 delay.

**** it, I hope they do it.

Their future new contracts are ****ed for multiple reasons anyways. That money is going DOWN.

[HoopsNY]

Because it's the same story over and over again, with no systemic changes to punish police for this kind of behavior. Given that they were trying to arrest him (if that is indeed the case), why pump 8 bullets in his back with his kids sitting in the car?

we feel the same way.Some black guy stole the cops gf years ago or beat his ass in highschool....why punish the rest of us when u get a little bit of power as a police officer.


I applaude the players for standng up for something bigger than basketball.We should all stop going to work as a people (blacks and are supporters) and lets see how the country goes without us for a week.


We tried peaceful protest for a century and they didnt work.****** is still getting gunned down unarmed by the police with nothing happening to the cops involved.****** are still getting killed walking home from the store by fat Cubans (or whatever that p.o.s zimmerman is) and they get off clean.Lets boycott working like the montgomery bus boycott

This is what low IQ looks like

[Hey Yo]

So dumb

[34-24 Footwork]

Kyrie, Avery, and Dwight were right all along. Sports is a HUGE distraction from what's happening. Let's be honest. People (of many walks of life) have been protesting for MONTHS straight in the midst of a pandemic. Add that to the fact that we have a president that's trying to get people to go back to work and die with no benefits on the behalf of corporations...along with OPENING UP SCHOOLS for kids to contract COVID and spread it in their communities, as well.

...All while trying to shut down the USPS and stifle voting.

Basketball should be the LEAST of our worries.

100000% this.

[~primetime~]

There needs to be a clear goal set...they need to know what they are going for.

Police reform?...okay lets do it

a perfect utopian society?

Because there will ALWAYS be bad cops out there...just like there will always be bad doctors, pedofile priests, greedy businessmen, etc etc....there will never be a point in time where 100% of the police force is perfect/flawless/not racist/etc



there just needs to be a goal in sight...an end game to this

[Axe]

Too much bigotry and racism is happening nowadays.

Only proves this year is really a total disaster.

Exactly.

2016 was a lot like this.

Then Trump ushered in an unprecedented three year harmony of economic growth and interfaith relations (no terror attacks).

We need to elect Trump again to end this madness.

Biden will just make it worse.

They need to look within at their own culture. Making martyr's out of violent criminals and sex offenders who are resisting arrest. No other ethnicity would cop for their brethren given that context.

[PP34Deuce]

Police Unions don't have to make changes. They are just as corrupt and have political power. It's a tough battle. Most people don't even know who the head police union chiefs are. The system is like a gang. The good cops can't say anything with the crooked cops watching. THe movie training day basically describes how powerful a union is.

The messed up thing is the idea of a union is great but just like with capitalism, it takes one 1-2 people to corrupt a system and make it worse for others.

Why is it up to the players to have a COMPLETE, coherent, agenda? They aren't politicians. The next step is for legislators, lobbyists (the good ones), to push forward. EVERYONE doesn't have the same educational background to project good policy. But these guys have the privilege to make tough decisions and absorb the financial impact.

Everyone can't do everything...if that makes sense.

[34-24 Footwork]

This.

Who plays 2k on here? And what system?

[Nashty]

Anyone who supports this boycott is a racist and hypocrite.

[oldtimer28]

100000% this.
Not at all.

It is dumb and attention seeking at a personal level which will hurt the cause overall.

If players were serious, they would uphold their commitments and use their time, fame, and money for the cause.

the 'movement' needs a clear coherent agenda, or this will go on for an eternity...because like I said there will never be a point in time where 100% of the police force is flawless...that day will NEVER happen. Humans are flawed...in EVERY profession. Hell there will never be a time when 100% of NBA players are flawless and crime free.

So if the agenda is police reform, or a system in place to monitor police...then that needs to be CLEAR in everyone's head, so that when it happens all this shit is over with

[oldtimer28]

Precisely.

Everyone pins this on President Trump but it happened with President Obama too.

It's a huge problem but celebrities being manipulated and manipulating others will hurt all.

Lmao. This isn't about the NBA. This is much bigger than that. It's a WILDCAT strike...the sexist form of striking there is. And it hurts because no one was able to brace for impact, economically EXCEPT for the laborers.

[Kblaze8855]

The Brewers and reds are refusing to play as well. NFL is lucky they aren’t in season.

[fsvr54]

Nah he’s right, you don’t understand how we feel. I joke a lot about it but that’s just to keep me from crying

You're probably not even black, dude. Being black isn't a monolith. There are all kinds just like EVERY other race.

[34-24 Footwork]

the 'movement' needs a clear coherent agenda, or this will go on for an eternity...

Lol. So your position is to just 'deal with it', I see.

I lived in Australia for 4 years. And as racist as it is over there, cops aren't casually unloading rounds into civilians on a daily basis. It's probably hard for you to imagine a world where cops aren't publicly executing civilians on the daily...but it exists.

[34-24 Footwork]

You're probably not even black, dude. Being black isn't a monolith. There are all kinds just like EVERY other race.

This. The biggest misconception about black people is that we march to the same drum.

[Gohan]

Oh I’m black I can assure that. Who in the hell fakes being black? You think I want to get shot up?

[ArbitraryWater]

Don‘t you think blacks are better?

You called Dirk an „honorary black“

Nah it’s not about blacks being better than whites(although The average looking black chicks look better than white chicks). It’s about we want to be put on the same pedastal as whites. Dirk is one of my favorite players of all time though

i legit don't understand this "sports is huge distraction" narrative, do you think people focus on sports 24/7? Do you think if sports didn't exist there wouldn't be some other form of entertainment to "distract" people? The NBA players of people talking about sports being a distraction when their ratings are in the gutter is just lol-worthy, kind of hard to distract people when no one is watching.

[Rudeboy3]

Good. The only people upset at this are those who have no direct ties to Black people and only see them as entertainment.

Are you an idiot? You do realize that athletes are in the entertainment world? They chose to be entertainers, you can't then be mad when people expect you to deliver the product they pay for. It would be like me paying fort concert tickets, then the artist I paid to see starts preaching about some next bs and starts crying about how people only see them as an entertainer when the paying customers demand them to STFU and perform. If you don't want to be seen as a dck sucker don't suck a dck, and if you don't want to be seen as an entertainer, don't pick a profession based in entertainment. Fools

Also not to mention, last i checked there are white players in the nba too, your point is just plain stupid

2016 didn't experience very worst mishaps like this year did tho..

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

I remember when GSW picked up Cousins, fans were thinking of boycotting the NBA that season cuz it was a washed season (or so we all thought lol). I was one of them. But now I'm for real thinking of just focusing on UEFA or maybe getting into NHL. Maybe I'll just watch college bball or something to get my bball fix. Or YouTube videos of travel leagues/AAU. Or go to my local HS's and watch them and pick up the girls.

[kawhileonard2]

So some maniac cop shoots some lowlife. Why punish the rest of us?

Didn't China already do that by having the wet market open which in effect had Covid come about?

[Nashty]

Is NHL the only league not boycotting right now? Guess I found a new sport to watch. **** racist organizations like NBA, NFL, MLB, MLS. White lives matter!

[SATAN]

I assume other teams will be following suit tomorrow?

So Luka and Kristaps have time to recover? :lebronamazed:

I can’t imagine being this hurt because someone won’t play a game. Grow up please.

[XxNeXuSxX]

I can’t imagine being this hurt because someone won’t play a game. Grow up please.

That's not a reply, you're using a pathos appeal to make it easier to dismiss him. Pretending he's hurt and telling him to grow up is literally the way you come off by ignoring what was written
