2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

[Gman]

Kenny just walked off the TNT set

On camera?

Very dramatic. Very showy.

 

[bksballer89]

Horrible post for someone who was begging to get back in the league for the last 2 seasons

Kenny Smith?

Would he be doing it if everyone else played? It just begins to feel like everyone wants to outdo the next person.

People with real jobs can't just walk off because Jacob Blake got shot.

Just a matter of time until an owner speaks the truth. Then lookout.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Good job Bucks...thinking like the B1G...which is not thinking and reacting too quick

 

[msgkings322]

Rightfully so

Then they will have made a real sacrifice for their beliefs, like Ali did

No but these guys can

 

[msgkings322]

Same. If any police involved shooting over the 3 months they were scheduled to be in the bubble would cancel the season then they should have ended the season back in June

Sometimes enough is enough

Like I said...eventually the majority of fans will tire if the move becomes to hold sports hostage each time something happens. Not saying that is going to be the case but if it is it will affect my fandom and I'd never have considered that before today.

If the expectation is there will be zero cop involved shootings for the rest of the country's history that is probably not a realistic expectation. There are shitty cops just like there are shitty people who are lawyers, shitty human beings who are basketball players. The issue is if said shitty humans aren't held accountable.

They should probably retire. What are they going to do? Stop playing anytime a cop is involved in the shooting of a black person?

WNBA playing tonight with planned protests throughout the game gtfo.

and that means all shitty humans and any attempt to make that racist is fn ignorant.

[lebron23james]

How hard is Lebron scrambling right now to save the season to get that ring lol

 

[B_dub]

They're not playing tonight.

3 fans must be devastated.

I keep seeing people talk on TV... players, talking heads, etc...

One thing I've noticed is how vague everyone is. Talk like:

• We are sick of what's happening
• We want change
• We want to do something
• etc., etc.

No offense, but such stuff is terrible social activism. And furthermore: it's destine for frustration and failure.

- If you have no definite goal, then everyone is gonna be on different pages.
- If you have no definite goal, then how you gonna get something concrete achieved?

No?

 

[thunderc]

This changes stuff, they might as well cancel the season now. Some lines can’t be crossed if you expect to be taken seriously again.
