The NBA and NBPA have announced social justice initiatives in the wake of the Jacob Blake shooting. Playoff games will resume Saturday.

The NBA and National Basketball Players Association released a joint statement on Friday announcing games would resume on Saturday, Aug. 29.

1. The NBA and its players have agreed to immediately establish a social justice coalition, with representatives from players, coaches and governors, that will be focused on a broad range of issues, including increasing access to voting, promoting civic engagement, and advocating for meaningful police and criminal justice reform.

3. The league will work with the players and our network partners to create and include advertising spots in each NBA playoff game dedicated to promoting greater civic engagement in national and local elections and raising awareness around voter access and opportunity.

Wonder where the social outcry by pro athletes occurred to protest SpousalAbuse?

Ps the jury were racist in the OJ Simpson case !

a week ago they wouldn't even do charity work in his town. hero mode activated . keep that same energy.

Does this include stiffer penalties for criminals?

Good job NBA and brother leagues. If you're a convicted felon and sex offender, who is armed, with warrants out who actively resisted arrest, you're a martyr.

I won't notice a difference...

Because child support is still real

Any sexual abuse/domestic abuse initiatives?

Ok. But might be a good idea to drop Jacob Blake’s name tho 🤔

Trump acknowledged it at least..said their ratings have been bad. Mission accomplished.
