Please everyone DO NOT BUY OR SUPPORT NIKE OR UNDERARMOUR.

They sure think highly of themselves.

Hate the idea they go to a college for one year just to play basketball.

If they go to college think they should stay for 4 years.

NBA boycotting...as long as they are aware that they won t lose their salaries...just wanted our attention and pity. Pro athletes have special clauses for their salaries if they opt out, boycott, or whatever they want while we, the US-citizen regular & common workers lose our earnings (laid off or business shut out) so have to apply for unemployment benefit

Now regarding your claim that whites criminals are killed in greater numbers than black criminals, I'm sure that you have researched that, so I won't argue the point, except to say, that white population in the U.S. is around 61%, compared to 13% of black. It only goes to figure that white criminals are killed in greater numbers, wouldn't you think?

You are trying to support your argument by falsely associating one statistic with another. Although whites make up 61% of the population, they do not make up 61% of criminals. Black males make up 6% of the population, yet commit over 50% of the murders in this country. So, if you look at criminals and not the general population, blacks are not killed by police at a disproportionate rate.

dear "so over". it is their right to boycott. get over it

[Bill1701]

Pre this year, if a team didn't show up or refused to play it was considered a forfeit.

You don’t work, you should not get paid. Like spoiled kids.

...in keeping with their "Cancel Culture" - I would suggest that ANY Pro Sports that honors postponement / cancellation / protesting of their games.... BE CANCELLED OUT. period. I would not even click on a channel that is showing these sports - thus inhancing the number of viewers supporting the advertisers and the mega $$$$$ these leagues receive in order to pay these primidonas their millions++++$$$$$$.

That’s not the point. These millionaire athletes should be helping communities. But no, they’ll protest while sitting on their wealth in gated communities

[Shawn714]

If you don’t do your job, you don’t get paid!! Maybe eventually these sports players and Hollywood elites will eventually lose their pay!

[mk3214]

So over NBA thugs, and as for Disney allowing them to play in their arena and allow the thugs to kneel for the National Anthem very disrespectful, go play basketball in Europe and see if you can do that, it would never happen so why are we allowing this bs here

Unfortunately they won't.

[richs631]

Bunch of hypocrite ball players calling it a boycott when it’s only a postponement. Boycott means giving up your salary but that’s not happening

[Skunky1]

Study Says Cable TV Subscribers Have Spent Billions For Live Sports Since March, Though There Haven't Been Any. Try cancelling your sports channels if you are really serious about making an impact!

Blacks commit nearly 50% of all homicides and somewhere around 60% of other crimes so it stands to reason they will have more interactions with with the police wouldn't you think?
