posty 2,296 Posted August 26, 2020 Oh darn... Oh shucky darn... https://sports.yahoo.com/bucks-players-dont-take-court-for-tipoff-vs-magic-amid-discussions-of-nba-player-boycott-201058529.html The Milwaukee Bucks did not take the floor for the scheduled start of Wednesday’s playoff game against the Orlando Magic amid discussions of a player boycott. The Magic initially took the court for pregame warmups, but left after Bucks players didn’t show up. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Bucks have decided to boycott the game. Talks of a boycott surfaced after the shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man and father of three. Video surfaced late Sunday of police in Kenosha, Wisconsin shooting Blake in the back multiple times, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down, according to his father. Some players were hesitant to participate in the NBA restart, wary of taking focus off the nation’s race reckoning in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police. The shooting of Blake has renewed those concerns, with players in the bubble in active talks with the player’s union about boycotting playoff games. Bucks guard George Hill gave voice to concerns over playing on Monday. “We shouldn’t have even come to this damn place, to be honest,” Ge said on Monday. “I think coming here just took all the focal points off what the issues are.” This is a developing story and will be updated.

I believe Frazier helped Ali get his license back and then didn't get it that Ali was selling the fight when he was trash talking. Joe took it personal. That's my understanding. Is that what you are talking about or did I miss something? God those were great fights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Davis 171 Posted August 26, 2020 At one time I would have cared. At this point I'm fine with them doing whatever they want to do. It's a political event now, not a sporting one. Those who choose to watch probably were already on that side of the issue anyway. There's no need to voice displeasure or disagreement because that's their choice, I'm just indifferent and apathetic to it at this point. It ceased being an issue for me when I started viewing the NBA through a political event lens versus a sporting event. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have guaranteed contracts, they don't care. Plus they are like the rich white SJW youths only worse because they are (mostly) black and were born hitting a stand-up triple in the at-bat of life. Treated like royalty for most of their formative years, including their ringleader who was literally called King. They feel guilty and feel the need to show that they "get" their brothers in the hood. To sell sneakers, or more accurately these days, have their sneakers stolen by looters so that insurance will compensate all parties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beaker15 113 Posted August 26, 2020 LOL the NBA thread on FBGheys was applauding players for boycotting. I went on and simply asked have we seen body cam footage or audio of police because in the video I saw the guy was clearly disobeying police and reached into his car. I was told it didn't matter and that you can't shoot someone in the back 7 times. I linked the video of the guy who disobeyed police and went in his car and got a gun and shot the two police officers. I was called a racist by several posters and then was permanently banned by moderaters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
