Seeing all the games are virtual and no fans are inconvenienced (except for maybe having to pick up the remote to change the station), it will be interesting to see fan reaction.
Personally, I am so over professional sports.

I could care less about the Milwaukee Bucks, but that said they should be protesting the stupidity of criminals that don’t know how to understand a simple order given to them by the police, rather than protesting alleged brutality by said police. If I’m told to stand down by the police and I resist arrest and go to bend over to get something out of my car, I expect to be tasered or even shot.
I’m totally tired of career criminals being turned into martyrs or heroes. They are not!
