The Lakers and Clippers have voted to boycott the NBA season. Great! No one wants to watch these millionaire morons tell us how "awful" our country is. They are bought by China and a disgrace to America!

Aug. 26, 2020: NBA players boycott.
The Milwaukee Bucks still haven't come out to the court for Game 6 with the Orlando Magic and there's been some discussion within the Bucks about a boycott, sources tell @malika_andrews and me. NBA officials have gone into the Milwaukee locker room.

They've NEVER discussed a boycott on the Nike shoes they wear that are made by slaves in China. #priorities
On the same day 4 years ago that @Kaepernick7 protested peacefully during the anthem for social justice, the Milwaukee Bucks boycott an NBA playoff game in protest of the unjust treatment against Black men and women. I’m speechless. We are truly seeing the fruits of his labor.

We’ve only ever seen NBA players boycott a game ONCE. It was an exhibition game in 1961 and Bill Russell with a handful of other Celtics sat out in protest of racial injustice.. the fact we are still doing this 50 years later for the SAME THING should be incredibly telling.
