The Milwaukee Bucks staged a boycott of their NBA playoff game on Wednesday in response to the police shooting of a Black man in Kenosha, Wis., following days of renewed conversations among players about whether they should play amid the ongoing debate about social injustice in the U.S.
The Bucks remained in their locker room and refused to take the court in the NBA’s Disney World “bubble” after deciding to boycott. Their opponent, the Orlando Magic, walked off the floor during their warmups in a dramatic moment only minutes...
NBA is non essential. No big loss here
if it were a white guy killed in exactly the same circumstances these idiots wouldn't give a damn. WhiteLivesMatter
Who cares
Who cares I hope they never play again....let them get real jobs NBABoycott
Its a strike
you can’t boycott something you’re actually part of. They are on strike.
Well done!
BlackLivesMatter EndRacism
Who cares? Let the league go under. Then they can cry about imaginary racism while working at Wendy's.
I think America has had enough of Milwaukee for a while. Bye, Felicia. 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
Does anybody really care. So what. Haven’t watched won’t watch another game ever
Don’t pay them.
I’m done with basketball... 2020 is a watershed year for sports...
Maybe it’s time we took a different approach to this situation: don’t break the law. If you do break the law, don’t be a dumbass and resist arrest. If you’re going to resist arrest, don’t insinuate you’re pulling a weapon - especially if you have a rap sheet. 🙄
This is a game not politics WHY cancel games....
There was a playoff game?
So many things I could say ... 😴
God what a nation of FUCKED UP PEOPLE maybe the virus isn't doing a good enough job maybe 2 to 4 million would be better politicians and the media hast to go or be sensor
Jacob Blake:wanted 4rape&domestic abuse,had a knife in his hand,&looked as if reachN 4something in car when shot by officer.Let law prosecute the crime without jumpN 2 conclusions.What about white on white crime,black on black?Racism? And what doesTrump have 2do with any of it?
🤦♂️🤦♂️
Who cares
Good for them! White men might get mad enough to actually give a shite about police brutality
It's a strike, not a boycott. But you knew that. JacobBlake
Justice is not social media
Well that’s a win for all parties.
No one cares.
Bye, bye...wouldn’t have watched anyway.
Were was the NBA when a Black man killed a little boy on his bicycle? Oh that's right NOT THE NBA'S narrative. Much easier for the NBA to do a Lay up than a Full court shot
The Magic should have accepted the free win
Never heard of them. Seriously.
The NBA may not survive this! Not that I would miss it!!
collectivepunishment, overreach, Stupidity
In 2018, Milwaukee Bucks player Sterling Brown was tased and manhandled by police officers for 'improperly parking his car.' So when the Bucks refuse to walk out onto the court in a protest against police brutality in their state — we are all listening. BlackLivesMattermovement
Strike*
Who cares? I’m not watching anyway.
No such thing as a boycott in sports. Don’t show up = loss.
Like anyone cares
Damn. A boycott and I don’t get to join in because I’m already boycotting the NBA Bummer...
Whoever does that, for any reason, should not play sports, work or demand payment.
FORFEIT! Make it mean something!!
NBA players agree to donate one of there houses and two of their cars to help people in poverty,
Loser. Just another reason not to watch. AllLivesMatter
Good
So when will the NBA boycott Nike… So tired of seeing the NBA pandering to Nike and China.
Would anyone notice if they did not come back?
You know, local sports teams UNITE cities and states, despite political differences. Everyone cheered for the same team. Now teams will create a political divide. Congrats, spoiled millionaire NBA players!
Who Cares
Does anybody really care what these entitled clowns do With their platform and the money they make, what have they done to cure any social injustice? They hide behind their walls in their homes with their private security and do nothing. Please !!!!
brakerbaker Hardly anyone, who actually works for a living, will care if these severely overpaid prima donnas play another game or not.
Is the mayor of Chicago on board with this?
Hey all NBA owners: now you have to choose between your players and your fans! These millionaires just put you in that position! Good luck!
WHO CARES! These guys will still get their $Millions! They just also get a day off.
Give the Bucks the loss. Give the Magic the series win. Move on.
Bye!!!!
So my question is why didnt they overpaid babies do this kind of action everytime an innocent person/child was killed by a gangmember? Or when that small innocent boy was killed in his frontyard by a black man in front of his family? Why won't you support both sides? hypocrite
Why don’t the owners of the leagues stop paying them as well?
Oh well
Why don't they donate that game's salaries to fight racism? Oh I know because they're greedy, selfish, self important, dumb jocks.
No one was watching it anyway.
Who cares what the NBA does... Defund the NBA
All before the facts come out, that’s sad.
Understandable but quite sad. This affects the Bucks players, Bucks service personal, coaching and support staff and owner and media people annunicng putting on games. No attendance but fans at home who can't change most things in society. Racist people don't attend & watch NBA
Bet their ratings gonna drop again
Who are the Milwaukee bucks?
Good... they can keep on boycotting forever for all I care.
Fuck these hypocrites
So now justice is in the hands of basketball players and not of prosecutor's? And they call it democracy? And what happens if we had to find out that George Floyd died of fentanyl OD? We dial back all the mess? US are increasingly ruled by communist and violent thugs
Pure window dressing that does not come anywhere near addressing the underlying causes that lead to these mindless confrontations between the police and civilians. Just like the proclamations on their jerseys, in public for weeks, did not stop the tragedy in Kenosha.
Nobody gives a shit
Boycott NBA
Go woke Go broke
we're watching the last games, the END of this NBA
amazing
That’s fucking hilarious: does anyone real gives a shit!?
Buck= adult black male slave.
Weird, I tried this at my job and my boss told me I would be fired if I didn't show up for work! SYSTEMIC RACISM!!!
Pompous millionaires actually think people give a crap what they think about things.
Strike or Forfeit is the correct word. Boycott is the incorrect word. Get it together.
Just keep destroying your own product. TV contracts come up for renewal soon. Can’t wait to see and hear the moaning and groaning from NBA owners and players when the networks won’t overpay after seasons of poor ratings. ESPN is hating that overpay right now.
Following the lead of the Bucks, I may not go to work tomorrow. Like the DetroitLions, I hope my actions influence others.
All 19 fans will be disappointed im sure
Protesting for this?
Guess who's never watching a bucks game again
Then it’s a forfeit , right ? Orlando gets the win ?
Kap can't be the only one!! We need all our black brothers and sisters with influence and power to start exerting it for the cause. Just got a new fan Bucks
Strike.
NBA players having too much power over the NBA. I am going to boycott going to work tomorrow.
Turn out the lights, the NBA is finished.
As they should have.
Will MLB follow suit?
And do they get paid when they protest?
So what? Is it going to make the police be any better?
“I’m not watching another season of the NBA!”
great job Bucks
