Thank you, Bucks. Now things will really change. We'll all remember where we were the day civilization was fixed due to a basketball team's boycott.

Athletes have a much bigger platform when they are playing. They have the masses attention. Unless it's someone like Kobe or MJ, no one gives a s**t what they are saying when the aren't playing for the most part

Welcome to America folks, it has never been fair to anyone who is poor, regardless of your background.
That said, these police shootings need to stop. The militarization of the police over the past few decades is proving to be a dangerous thing that all of us should fear.

Can you explain this?
I agree with everything else. This is a good thing, not a bad thing. Just curious how they are getting around the fact that one team wanted to play and one didnt.

Wonder what would happen if every team was like, "f**k it! We're all going home." That would be huge.

I support their boycott. But its kind of hollow if u just resume with the next game. Boycott them all, bow out. Makes me think if they down 3-1, is this happening?

They don't have to get around anything. If the nba gave the bucks a loss the media and others would be enraged. It's an easy business decision for them.

Lebron won't let that happen. He's getting his chip. He's still elite, obviously, but he's old. Not that many chances left and he cares about his legacy (rightfully so)
