Milwaukee Bucks say they will forfeit playoff game tonight, then NBA postpones all games...

[eball]

Wow.  That's how you get some attention.  Peacefully.

[Golden Goat]

The Bucks had a game today?

[Kirby Jackson]

All 3 games are off today. This is MASSIVE. The Raptors are talking about leaving the bubble. We are at a turning point for this country. 

Strong words from someone I respect:

Not a NBA fan but what are they complaining about?

[Bferra13]

Its cool. Ratings are down 20% from last season in the NBA with basically no competition and people with nothing to do as it is. I'll continue not to watch.

MSNBC said NBAPA is meeting at 8pm.

a guy sexually assaulted a woman a month ago, she got restraining order, he violated the restraining order, he started a fight with the cops and ends up getting shot after the taser didn’t work.  
I hope they are standing up for sexual assault survivors and domestic violence survivors

Which he left a lot of facts out of but carry on

[Johnny Hammersticks]

So there won’t be any crappy NBA games on tonight?

[Kirby Jackson]

The NBA leads again. They’ve taken the hard road to demand change. They’ve used their enormous platform to fix OBVIOUS problems in this country. If you think that sitting silently while an unarmed man is shot in the back 7 times is the best option you and I aren’t going to agree on much. This is a peaceful stand against injustice by some of the most powerful people in this country. That’s how change happens.

ok. Guy also had a knife and he reached into the car after being tased and fighting with the cops and the cops did not know what he had in there so they shot.

 

a female was sexually assaulted by this guy a month ago and he violated a protective order. Here’s what should be learned from this. Don’t sexually assault women. He never would have had a run in with the police.

So is 7 shots to the back the punishment deserved for the exact situation that you describe?

That wasn’t the question!!! Was 7 shots to the back the punishment deserved for the exact situation that you described?!? It’s a yes or no question...
