Imagine defending a rapist who was either going to grab a weapon or kidnap some kids...Nice work NBA morons. This will surely improve their sub basement ratings.
they're niggers they are perfectly fine with legalizing rape. these apes are basically done with the season anyway, half the teams aren't even playing now anyways.

NBA boycott, live updates: Players agree to resume playoffs, Thursday games to be postponed, per report

After holding a meeting Thursday morning, NBA players have reportedly agreed to resuming the 2020 playoffs, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The three playoff games on Thursday are expected to be postponed, and discussions are underway on when games will be resumed. The meeting came after the postponement of three playoff games on Wednesday, including the Bucks-Magic game in which Milwaukee players staged a walk-out before the start of Game 5. The league's Board of Governors were also expected to have a call this morning to address Wednesday night's walkouts in addition to what needs to happen next.

Several leaders on the Lakers roster, along with some players from other teams, reportedly stayed up into the early morning hours to hash out their issues inside the bubble. As a result of those talks, all players were able to agree to resume the season, per Wojnarowski.

During a meeting Wednesday evening that consisted of players and coaches, the Lakers and Clippers were among the minority of teams that pushed to end the season, according to Sham Charania of The Athletic. LeBron James said in the meeting he wants the team owners to be more involved and take action.

Milwaukee's walk-out ahead of Game 5 against the Magic came in response to the shooting of an unarmed Black man named Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Sunday. Shortly after the Bucks made a statement by not playing, the Rockets and Thunder decided to also not play Wednesday, as well as the Lakers and Trail Blazers.

Bucks owners Marc Lasry, Wes Edens and Jamie Dinan released the following joint statement:

"We fully support our players and the decision they made. Although we did not know beforehand, we would have wholeheartedly agreed with them. The only way to bring about change is to shine a light on the racial injustices that are happening in front of us. Our players have done that and we will continue to stand alongside them and demand accountability and change."

News of the Bucks walking out sent a ripple effect across sports in the United States. Here's a look at all of the games postponed as a sign of protest:

Many NBA players and coaches have spoken with heavy hearts since the shooting of Blake, and earlier Wednesday the Toronto Raptors discussed the possibility of sitting out Game 1 of their second-round matchup against the Boston Celtics Thursday.

Coaches like Doc Rivers have given emotional statements in response to the shooting of Blake, stating poignantly, "we keep loving this country and this country doesn't love us back." Raptors guard Fred VanVleet told media on Tuesday that in order to bring change, players would have to "put something up to lose, rather than just money or visibility." By sitting out games, that certainly makes a statement that the players are sick and tired of nothing changing in regard to police brutality against Black people in this country.

Nice boycott.

So you're trying to hurt us because you love us and want us to be better? Is this nibba trying to sound like a passive-aggressive domestic abuser, or is he just that clueless?

What are the odds the Chinese called up some NBA officials and told them to tell their players to knock it off? China doesn't give a shit about Burn Loot Murder, they want to see some good apehoop being played. Maybe if these dumbass players and their league wanted social justice they wouldn't have hitched their wagon to the biggest force against social justice in the world.

Lebron's agent told him "it's working! They love you again and forgot about your submittal to China!" so he cancelled it.

Ratings down 40%+. Revenue from fans in stadiums absolutely gone. Continuing to pick a fight with the leader of your country who loves using his bully pulpit.

The next CBA for the players is going to be lit. Lebron is going to retire and the rest of the players get to deal with the husk he left for them. Reminds me of someone else who left his organization financially destitute and unable to function properly. Who ever could it be?

I still find it funny. Remember when Daryl Morey tweeted in support of the HK protestors? And the NBA immediately denounced his comments and said that they didn't represent their values? This pissed off China so much that they still lost HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars.

Seems to be cutting off the nose to spite the face when athletes get involved in shit like this, when their career path is one of the ways in which some black people manage to actually get somewhere in life and make good money. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah thats not happening, spics are like 4 inches shorter than blacks or whites. I cant name a single spic over 5,10. And that barely qualifies for point guard in the WNBA.
And then everyone clapped.

Nice boycott.

I wondered if someone had told them about the criminal past of the 2 guys killed in Kenosha? I wouldn't be surprised then they did "uh-oh".
