doubt they need to tell the rest of them. the rest of the teams especially the ones with the stars all have the same thought process remember it was toronto/boston that were rumored to be doing it. this has been a discussion amongst everyone
No one can be hating on this, unless you are a colored person and have been suffering due to the obvious racism and prejudice in the US.
the people that have no idea what it's like to go through what people of color go through are the ones upset about this.
and the nba tv ratings are at historic lows. Fox News tucker carlson beat a clippers/mavs playoff game. Less viewers means less money for future nba players in the upcoming cba
Not surprised that the Bucks are doing this, since the shooting of Jacob Blake occured close to Milwaukee and I can't even imagine the amount of racism Antetekounmpo had to suffer during his childhood in Greece. I might not like him as a player since I am a die hard Rockets and Harden fan, but the guy was raised in poverty in Greece without having a citizenship and Greece is a country where racism occur. Giannis Antetekounmpo only got citizenship approved due to him being an amazing basketball player. In all honesty I can't understand why he even plays for the greek national team.
The whole point of coming back to play was to bring awareness to Black lives. While we were watching basketball, a guy was shot in the back 7 times walking away. We started to forget what was happening just like some players in the bubble were worried about.
The NBA opened this can of worms when it made the players into social media celebrities and woke activists. Now, they have the power to boycott playoff games in a season already devastated by a shutdown where the league can’t even project what the salary cap is going to be next year because viewership and revenue have been crippled. Adam Silver’s head should be on a platter right now for letting an entertainment product turn into a SJW circus.
