I believe NBA Players should end season right now. Follow my reasons below.
First, and of least importance, whoever wins the “title” this year will have an * by it. No home court advantage, fans, some players opting out, it just isn’t the same, on or off the court.
Secondly, and of most importance, the players can take a stand here. Use their influence as multi-millionaires and especially the power of their billionaire owners to impact real change with politicians & law enforcement. If, over the next 4 months, there is real social justice reform & people are held accountable, then they return in December or January for next season. If not, they should not continue to provide “entertainment” for a country which doesn’t care about them.

So if they continue with the season and they don’t cancel then this was all a show to demonstrate they have the power to exercise their right to boycott the entire season for social justice. If they follow through with the boycott for the season then it’s true what they stand for.....BUT if they resume is it fair to say it’s all about the money? Because at the end of the day it’s always about the money. Keep an eye on this because if we see them back on the court shortly then you know what’s really going here but of course they will NEVER get called out on it....

During the lockdown, one thing that I realized was that sports is not really that important. The competitiveness in the game is lost, when I Watch nba games it feels like a group of friends hanging out and playing basketball. The only people that will miss them is their owners. The irony in all of this is that black people need sports more than sports need black people; sports/entertainment is the number reason we have so many black millionaires.

Britehoodie, in regards to watching sports, less important, I would agree. But if like myself you still play sports, albeit recreational, I realize how much I missed playing. Basketball courts closed, no softball leagues, no one outside to throw the football around with. Played sports all my life, rather play than watch. No, for those of us who participate, sports is more meaningful than ever

This is like that one annoying co-worker that always threatens to quit the job but always shows up to work. And when he finally gathers the courage to quit, he comes back the next week or two begging for his job. Apart from the superstars and the stars in the league, what are the rest of the players gonna do when there is no basketball? work normal jobs. goodluck to that!

All lives matter!! Every race has there own issues but MOST black communities LIVES in poverty and NUMBERS show that people who lives in Poverty have seen increased crime rates among most communities in USA. Police RISK there lives everyday to protect ALL people of the USA. Look in the Mirror and Improve yourself and Help each other to get Out of Crime filled communities and Reduce crime and Hatefulness against other.

I was in the boarding school for the early part of my teenage years. Families were allowed or visited occasionally. I did my time and graduated. Tell these players to do their time in the bubble and come home lol. At least they got the option to leave and go home.

You are a gullible moron that actually believed they were gonna cancel the season, hahaha i should feel bad but i dont.. They were NEVER boycotting, the media lied to you as they usually do.... Just one big publicity stunt in hope for this dying sport to increase viewership

The rest of you degen gamblers who don’t see this either..You’re apart of the problem. Point blank period.

My BROTHER You only care about HATE. IM sure thats how you feel RIGHT now and that the WORLD does NOT agree with the blacks IDEOLOGY. Blacks stick together. Whites stick together. Latinos stick together. Asians stick together. Indians stick together. Muslim stick together. We live in a World with RULES and LAWS just like sports penaltys, ejections, fouls but in the WORLD its much more REAL every FAMILY across USA wants SAFETY for there LOVED ones. Police will DO there JOBS and they are the real world REFEREES some get the calls right some do NOT they are not RASICT cops just uphold the LAWS if you break the law. Every Country has there own LAWS and REGULATION i believe USA has some of the BEST. ITS only about RACE because you people are PROTESTING and MAKING it SOooooo.

Not true. Sports need black people more than vice versa. True, sports make millionaires out of many black people but that doesn't make an impact on black people as a whole. Just individuals. Now think about the economic impact that sports, specifically basketball and football, have on people of all races. From owners/management all the way down to ticket scalpers and the guy selling bootleg t-shirts. And everything in between. Merch, wagering, live events/television production. There's a whole economy based around sports and black people are underrepresented in every single position except player.
