Officials stand beside an empty court at the scheduled start of an NBA basketball playoff game between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Orlando Magic, Wednesday in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. The Bucks didn't take the floor in protest against racial injustice and the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
"We need to pause and reflect on the events that are causing such pain and hardship to our local community and country," the Brewers said in a The NBA's most prominent player, LeBron James, was scheduled to play Wednesday with his Los Angeles Lakers hoping to clinch their first round series against Portland.
"We can't do anything," Hill said in an interview."First of all we shouldn't even came to this damn place, to be honest. I think coming here just took all the focal points off of what the issues are."
Cool. Standing up for rapists now.
Awesome hopefully they will never play again.
Cancel NBA and forgo their pay.
troyhines I couldn’t care less if they, or any other team, ever played basketball ball again.
But will anyone notice?
Athletes of the world: this is your moment, but it won’t last long. Ingraham wants you to shut up & dribble. Trump wants you to shut up & carry the rock. Johnny Law wants you to look the other way as he murders your brothers & sisters. Stand tall & speak up? Or shut up & dribble?
Sports is dead to me. I have nothing but distain for them. I see nothing but selfish, ungrateful, uneducated, arrogant people.
Very selective outrage driven by pocketbook issues?
BRAVO to all the teams and players following their consciences!!!!!!! Exercise the power you have. Your voices are far louder than the haters. Use them! Speak in all ways including your vote in November!!!!!!
Does anyone know of any other job where the workers get to boycott/pickett/strike on a subject that does not personally affect them ON THEIR WORKING CONDITIONS/BENEFITS, ETC.?
If I walk off of my job I don't get paid. I hope the same holds true for these people.
I’m so proud of this team!!!!
So the Bucks are pouting at the death of a violent child rapist? Interesting to know that the NBA supports child rapists.
When will these players protest the lack of diversity in the nba? 75% black employees in a US business! Time for fed lawsuit to force these racist to clean up their practices; better yet, CANCEL THE NBA
Jacob was not supposed to be at the house, stole the woman's keys, fought the police and resisted arrest. He had a warrant for raping a 15 yr old girl
Have a day off
Good riddance NBA
read jose canseco's book juiced : wild times rampant roids
If I refuse to do my job (which I’m not grossly overpaid to do) then I get fired 🤔 pretty sure that’s how it is supposed to work! What is wrong with this country!
Editor... there's no comma in front of 'was' grammar
So they forfeited the game? A thug gets shot and they decide not to play?
Jacob Blake
Yes!!!
A rapist reaching for a weapon
You cleverly avoided using the word in the tweet, but the article says this was a boycott, when obviously it is a strike. Have you no editors? Why this choice of words?
Before any investigation or facts out Hmmm.. . Condoning burning of more ppls businesses Cool.

How's the ratings?
Who really cares, they aren't 'sports' anymore, they are activist platforms that sucked the life out of the games. I hope every league folds.
Blake was armed with a knife (In addition to being a convicted felon who resisted arrest). Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The democrat AG of Wisconsin just confirmed this.
93% of all black murder victims are killed by other blacks, end the season and focus on the REAL problem.
Is that the Jacob Blake who was a child rapist who had a warrant and had 911 called on him and resisted arrest, was tazed, didnt stop and went for a weapon? That Jacob Blake? NBA MLB MLS
NBA= No Brains America
Meanwhile at The NHL.... BlackLivesMatter
This is a powerful move. Like bringing a gun to a knife fight
Oh look BLM protesters spray painted a local parking lot to honor Jacob Blake
I sure hope they forfitted that game and Orlando gets the win! And no pay!!
NBA, MLB, WNBA, MLS all protesting in support of a perpetrator of domestic violence and sexual assault...
It's almost surreal to think that the only thing that may finally end police violence is cutting off peoples' basketball games.
Yes
Very effective. Without any violence. Go figure.
People with power and voices are listening.
When sports organizations are doing more than our government! Something is broken
Well done Bucks Respect
NHL 🤔🤔🤔
Doj found a gun in his car y’all look stupid
