BLM A racist organization.

And last week when a black shot and killed a 5 year old white boy. Where was the outrage? When blacks are killing blacks?

Do any of us really care what over payed privileged athletes say or do?

Lmao ya cause you taking a knee is so inspirational. You overpaid runners and throwers are a complete farce

Norm Powell needs to get off his high horse

Go ahead. Retire in protest.

No One Cares About The NBA

Lmao do players really think the world revolves around sports? If you boycott games everyone will just find something else to watch.

Ya, but boycotting the game hiws that gonna solve the problem, I dont think thus us a solution, because by doing this they will be affecting themselves negatively, so whatever has to be done will e done but boycotting the hands ain't a solution.

It's a wonder why basketball is at a record low for ratings.....this guy should not have been shot 7 times. Thats ridiculous, but he had every opportunity to avoid this outcome and decided not to. Actions have consequences

You know I don't recall any athlete tweeting treating to boycott or taking a knee when a 5 year old white boy was executed but I guess his life didn't matter

I wonder if any players or people commenting watched the video.

I’m just shaking my head.

FarhanLaljiTSN All this does is screw over their own league.

Where is the onus on an individual to obey the police and follow commands that they’re under arrest? Since when did disobeying police orders become ok? That’s how people get hurt. DO WHAT POLICE TELL YOU AND NOBODY WILL GET HURT

Boycott away... all this is doing is causing more hatred and more division

NBA players have no clue what they’re talking about. The police related shooting in Wisconsin was totally justifiable. Blake refused police orders and returned to his vehicle t reach for something which could potentially be a weapon. Totally justifiable shooting.

I don't watch agendas, just the games. No pre game, post game, nothing. Goes for the nhl andmlb as well. I want to watch sports, not solve the worlds problems.

Really they want to boycott games? Entitlement issues? NBA it’s like a circus.

Then fucking do it. I guarantee 90 percent of people don’t give a shit.

Please do. I’d rather watch TSN Top 10 reruns then watch the NBA and its political agenda.

Boycott games over a criminal getting shot cause he can’t listen to the police 🤡

Boycott and don’t get paid. Deal.

Don’t ruin your popularity in Canada. We will quit watching and cheering. Think about it!

B urn L oot M urder It's not working! He's correct!

Looting and rioting is the problem. Solves nothing. Play the game or respect for the game will dwindle

Boycotting sports -even en masse, will do absolutely NOTHING to end the growing (..and govt sanctioned) systemic racism & police brutality issues in 🇺🇸. You want real change, use your platform to encourage young, racialized/affected people to do their civic duty & VOTE for it.

Time to boycott Raptors NBACanada NBA This is getting ridiculous.

The people who don’t give a shit never will I don’t care how many knees they take or how many games they boycott. Just play the game you are paid to do or forfeit your salary and go protest, other players will fill your spot

BLM is quickly becoming a negative. Riots, burning innocent peoples’ stuff, etc. Not good. Just saying.

That would be fucking epic. They'll have the world's attention, that's for sure.

All players when asked a question should just reply “justice for insert name. Every single question asked gets that reply.

Is basketball even going on, who knew

More silliness.

Innocent African American lives including those of children are being cut short daily. Not exclusively, this also includes lives lost at the hands of inappropriate police tactics. Taking a knee at the beginning of a sporting event was never the means to an end of the violence.

Ok so you stop playing sports and that’s going to stop police from shooting people? Probably not. It’s really sad and bad what happened but this is ridiculous.

If professional athletes keep pushing this SJW narrative, I won’t be a fan anymore.

This is what happens when you give idiots a platform and make them think that they know what they're talking about

FarhanLaljiTSN Retire

Cry me a river

The arrogance of thinking that taking a knee was going to make a difference and, now, them boycotting games would make a difference, is unbelievable. It's unbelievable, narcissistic, disingenuous and offensive.

Maybe you should take 2 knees Powell...

FarhanLaljiTSN Boycott basketball

How about we then boycott the NBA?

Void their contracts and cancel the playoffs

That won’t happen, y’all care way to much about your money... and by the way, nobodies watching anyways

Yeaah boycotting games will definitely get it done.

Boycotting what exactly? Violent criminals with active warrants disregarding orders from police?

Would be very interesting to hear what his plan is for a positive grass roots solution other than defunding the police riots arson looting because its not getting it done either

I miss the days when players didn't push their political agenda. Time for some major suspensions

Loser players. Boycott your high paying, privileged jobs and go make a difference. Become a police office. Try to make real change. Walk the beat. Do traffic stops. Make the police force better. Your whining is a symbol of change, but not real change

Won't do a damn thing. Also unless every single player does it I don't see it working. Even that you'd literally need the entire big 4 to join you.

At what point will athletes realize that their opinion doesn't really matter beyond the handful of fans that care?

Here’s a radical idea...comply with law enforcement. Maybe that’ll get it done

And boycotting will help things wow very smart players in NBA

Who ?

Haa until his paycheck stops....funny how Lebron et al didnt say sh*t when they played in China....

I'm sorry but I can't imagine what boycotting games is going to do.

Please do.

Cool. See ya later. Listen to police commands and you won’t have issues. Simple

🖕overpaid a$$hole

Boycotting ain’t going to change shit! At the beginning of this players said they were doing what KingJames is doing. And he doesn’t even have a slogan like BLM on his jersey so. Pro athletes won’t change cops minds in the US, jail sentences will!! Boycotting ain’t gonna do shit

So, two knees?

Really thats just dumb boycott playoff games

Neither will boycotting!

A lot of us chose to boycott the games a long time ago...
