LOL: #Woke Morons of the NBA Vote to Boycott Themselves

I love this so much.

They're slitting their own throats to dirty our shoes with blood.

The Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers, led by superstar LeBron James, reportedly voted to boycott the rest of the NBA playoffs.

According to Shams Charania, lead NBA writer for The Athletic, James walked out of a hastily-called players meeting when other team representatives said they would not join.

However, Mr. Charania reported, other players realize that even if just those two teams boycott the season, enormous problems would be created in finishing the playoffs.

The NBA never said no to the players. They okayed everything -- political messages on jerseys, kneeling for the national anthem, political messages on the court itself -- and it still wasn't enough. And now their business doesn't exist. Lesson: you can't ever be woke enough.

More from Outkick the Coverage, who heard this rumor early.

Something to remember:

If you're providing a service of dubious value, never, ever give people a chance to see how well they do without your services.

(That's why I don't take many vacations!)

19 The real question is the ratings and the advertising rates for the *next* season. This goes for the MLB, too. This season is already dead and they're all more or less pretending to keep up their contracts. Ratings this year, even if they suck, aren't going to be indicative.

What I hope happens is that the ratings tank next year, too, and forces some reform within (or perhaps replacement of) the leagues. The only league this year that might be a bellwether is the NFL, which looks like it's trying to have a real season.

51 This seems more a spoiled brat power play than any kind of political or activist thinking. Not playing basketball does absolutely zero to help or push any cause. But getting others to go along makes you feel powerful and important.

"King" James LeBron looks increasingly idiotic and annoying to regular folks, and I gotta think black people aren't exactly overjoyed with him either.

I'd love to see the stats on merchandising sales for his stuff. My guess is its trending downward. Jordan stayed away from this stupidity.

I do feel bad for all the kids that are currently playing basketball, in hopes that they have a shot at the big-time, and the big money.

And then, when you decide to reward yourself for reaching a weigh loss milestone you buy that donut, take a big bite, and -- ick, how did I ever enjoy this?!?

LeBron thinks he's the sh*t. Who is listening to him? Other morons who think like him. Who cares?

Super stardom creates people who think they are gods. I've seen some (Like Messi, I hate to say it), who think they can dictate the players purchases or which manager to replace an old with, etc. And in the end, many are just that, good players, not good at decision making.

They're exorbitant amounts of money can hire others to get out their merchandise, yes. I think I've seen someone like Kanye who did a lot himself (maybe). It does not equal smarts. When you start trying to control other people.... people naturally push back.

Exactly, nobody is talking about them. There's no buzz, not even much coverage. Most people I know of weren't even aware there WERE playoffs going on.

Its so odd watching our culture change. All the big events are becoming forgotten and ignored. NBA playoffs used to be a huge event. But once it became obvious that the same couple of teams were going to win every time based on a handful of players bought for the year, people started tuning out. And now after the shutdowns and kneeling and slogans on jerseys etc..

But its not just sports. The Miss America pageant used to be huge TV. The Oscars. The World Series. They've all become kind of forgotten.

149 Blake is not a child rapist, that's a misunderstanding that got abroad because 4chan can't read statues very well. The 3rd degree sexual assault is from abuse of the mother of his kids, who in the same report acknowledges he beats her up an average of 2 times a year when he's been drinking "too" heavily. He's a no-account mean drunk, and when he's drunk, alla K9 escapade, he is very unreasonable. Of course I don't know if he was drunk when resisting but that call wasn't about ladies fighting. It was about Blake, who "wasn't supposed to be there" (restraining order?) and had taken her keys (again) and wouldn't give them or her car back.

Also this is interesting: Rittenhouse didn't shoot first. And a NYT writer Twitter thread actually allows this fact to enter the narrative, which I guess means someone's going to be to,d to hit the bricks soon. https://twitter.com/trbrtc/status/1298841139810893824?s=20

The NBA was holding playoffs?



Exactly, nobody is talking about them. There's no buzz, not even
much coverage. Most people I know of weren't even aware there WERE
playoffs going on.



Its so odd watching our culture change. All the big events are
becoming forgotten and ignored. NBA playoffs used to be a huge event.
But once it became obvious that the same couple of teams were going to
win every time based on a handful of players bought for the year, people
started tuning out. And now after the shutdowns and kneeling and
slogans on jerseys etc..



But its not just sports. The Miss America pageant used to be huge
TV. The Oscars. The World Series. They've all become kind of

234 149 Blake is not a child rapist, that's a misunderstanding that got abroad because 4chan can't read statues very well. The 3rd degree sexual assault is from abuse of the mother of his kids, who in the same report acknowledges he beats her up an average of 2 times a year when he's been drinking "too" heavily. He's a no-account mean drunk, and when he's drunk, alla K9 escapade, he is very unreasonable. Of course I don't know if he was drunk when resisting but that call wasn't about ladies fighting. It was about Blake, who "wasn't supposed to be there" (restraining order?) and had taken her keys (again) and wouldn't give them or her car back.

264 207 A bunch of high school boys can perform just as well for a fraction of the money, without all the manufactured stress.

Once lived in a city that had a HS boys' b-ball team that hit the jackpot on players for 2-3 years and went top-10 nationally while winning the state title. 4 of the starting 5 went D-1, and their star 6th man just chose the NFL instead and became a star running back.

It was an exciting period. Outstanding basketball. The best high school boys teams play some wicked exciting basketball.

I am rather proud of myself this morning. We had a new internet provider installed yesterday, along with phone and cable (yeah, I know, but TV is about the only entertainment Mr. Empire can manage any more, and 2 OTA channels didn't hack it.)

Anyway, the phone and TV parts worked fine immediately, but the installer couldn't get the internet to work on my desktop -- was going to send someone else out to troubleshoot that.

Sometime in the wee small hours, I thought the problem might be that the desktop's wifi receiver was, to put it mildly, rather elderly and might not be able to "hear" a newer transmitter.

Fortunately, I had a newer receiver, so after actually waking up, I (with the cat's "help") installed it. So now I am up on SuddenLink. Now to cancel the Verizon I was using!

And this has been "trending" on my Twitter page all day:

Many left frustrated by the NHL's decision to continue playing as leagues across the US postpone games over Jacob Blake shooting

Athletes, fans and commentators have expressed their disappointment in the National Hockey League after games went ahead as planned on Wednesday night while a number of NBA, WNBA, MLS and MLB teams postponed competition. Sparked by the Milwaukee Bucks' decision to boycott their playoff game, the day marked an unprecedented response from the sporting world to the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.


NHL did have some kind of "moment of reflection" bullshit before they played their games. That apparently was not enough for the supporters of Burn-Loot-Murder domestic terrorism.

To my surprise, Tony Hawk's skateboard appears to be hitting the shooter - but no apparent effect seen in the various videos. Also I can't see where Tony gets his lead injection (obviously when he's close/over Rittenhouse, but one cannot see the actual discharge or smoke, as with other rounds fired).

But still, you have Biden against Trump.

Biden excites no one. Is his presence on TV getting people to volunteer or donate? Is Kamala's?

Hell, during the DNC, Michelle Obama got more media attention than freaking Kamala Harris, the VP candidate.

Even if Biden debates, how is he contributing to the organizing and funding of the party's chances? Kamala is contributing to funding through her tech connections, but not to energy.

How does this translate into a party winning the House in a presidential election which is really, really hard to localize in comparison to midterms (which they succeeded in doing in 201?

Here's what worries me - that for some reason the family decides not to go with him. Be honest - most of us admire the kids guts - but it's a different decision to let your 17 year old out in that shit. That's grown man work, not high schooler work.

It's been memory-holed, but LeBron had a press conference a couple years ago where he said that White Racists had scrawled the n-word on a wall or gate of his palatial estate. He said they somehow avoided the dozens of security cameras installed all over the property. He also said he didn't take any pictures of it and instead immediately washed it off before calling the police and the media. LeBron said White America needs to reflect on how they have become such racist trash that they would do something like that to him and that the incident proves just how racist America has become under Donald Trump.

I just heard on the radio the lawyer for Jacob Blake says it doesn't matter if he had a knife. Of course not
______________

In a way, he's right. The law says that you consider what a reasonable cop would have done in the same circumstances. These cops knew this was a violent criminal, he had already fought with them, been tazed by them, ignored repeated commands from them to stop, and now he was reaching for something in his truck. No reasonable cop would have stood there and just waited to see if he was reaching for a knife or a gun or a pack of gum. The cop had to shoot. The criminal left him with no better option.

Turns out the criminal had a knife in the truck. Doesn't matter. A reasonable cop would have had to assume that the criminal was reaching for a gun. You can watch videos on YouTube of cops who waited to see what the criminal was reaching for, and they end up getting shot. So no, it doesn't really matter what the criminal was reaching for. He was reaching for something, and a reasonable cop in those circumstances would have had to assume it was a gun, so he had to shoot.

567 "The NBA never said no to the players. They okayed everything -- political messages on jerseys, kneeling for the national anthem, political messages on the court itself -- and it still wasn't enough. And now their business doesn't exist."

While I encourage _everybody_ to abandon spectator sports fandom forever in order to punish #woke totalitarians, I doubt that the NBA's business has ceased to exist.

They will diversify and change their marketing stance, maybe actually abandoning #woke horseshit. They will expand their market in foreign countries. They may cut salaries and costs.

But the demand for their product is definitely there. I see little sign that die-hard sports fans are willing to give up their favorite spec sports, even when their heroes are pissing in their faces. That is how powerful sports addiction seems to be. The sports teams will survive, albeit perhaps at lower revenues.

568 The NBA season will continue.

Players decided not to boycott the remainder of the playoffs on Thursday morning, ESPN.com reported. Thursday's games will still be postponed. The goal is to restart the season on Friday, according to The Athletic. The unrest among players comes after the Jacob Blake shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Players first met Wednesday night inside the NBA bubble where the push to end the season was led by the Lakers and Clippers. It came after the Bucks abruptly boycotted their playoff game against the Magic on Wednesday afternoon, leading to the postponement of the other two playoff games that night.

Maybe it's time to revisit basketball altogether as a "sport". IIRC, Naismith devised as an activity athletes could do in Winter, when the outdoor fields were glaciated.

It's turned into a freakshow, with an insane advantage for freakishly tall persons blessed with the ability to run across a room without tripping over their own feet.

Peon's improved basketball: The goal is a 20" diameter hole in a vertical Plexiglass panel, 20 feet above the floor. Five feet below the bottom of the hole, you have a railed balcony installed, upon which stands a midget wearing Mexican wrestling uniform, who acts as goalie.

Result: lower scores, more drama, and guaranteed employment for many midgets.

630 But suddenly, they've run out of steam, all of their plans (like the riots) are turning sour, and Trump has got his Groove Back. Since this is a sports thread, a sports analogy seems appropriate; in the NFL, the only quarter that really counts is the Fourth.

I looked at a few states. In their most populous precincts, if they could over-sample by about 10% - it looked like they could zero out a 5% total lead. So, to me, it seemed possible. But I think we've moved beyond that now.

And their actions, all at once, seem to agree. All these mayors and governors and pundits deciding on the same day that riots are suddenly bad - after they've been good all summer ? I don't believe in coincidence.

Last week, I thought Trump was probably winning, but not outside the margin of fraud. Now ? This is the first time I've watched a preference cascade in motion. I've never seen anything like this.

They can't fraud this. Trump's got to be up at least 55 - 45. Maybe more.

Finally she got peppered with broken branch pieces to which she ran into a hotel portico while her crew was asking her repeatedly if she was alright. It such a staged production and I laughed at her misfortune.

Turns out the criminal had a knife in the truck. Doesn't matter. A reasonable cop would have had to assume that the criminal was reaching for a gun. You can watch videos on YouTube of cops who waited to see what the criminal was reaching for, and they end up getting shot. So no, it doesn't really matter what the criminal was reaching for. He was reaching for something, and a reasonable cop in those circumstances would have had to assume it was a gun, so he had to shoot.
Posted by: TrivialPursuer at August 27, 2020 12:54 PM (k4dH2)

Also, keep in mind that this guy was likely known to the police and his rap sheet shows he had been arrested several times on gun charges. So the officers, based on his history, knew going into the encounter that a gun could be in play with this guy.

America Doesnt Deserve Sports Right Now



Whether the NBA returns at all is an open question, but asking a
majority-Black group of workers to entertain a largely white audience
amid national chaos was never sustainable.

Fuck that. College football is going to be even worse than professional sports leagues.

It will be non-stop virtue-signaling and kneeling and protesting for Burn-Loot-Murder by every university and college out there.

If you thought SJWs in professional leagues are bad, university level SJWs are going to be 100 Xs worse.

From what I have read and seen of the videos and still shots, the guy also was carrying a knife with him to his vehicle. This after he had already been tazed and gotten away from the arresting officers.

651 Sports from high school on up provide some economic value... but that comes from disposable income which can be easily spent elsewhere. Otherwise, the only real societal value sports provide is to unify a community a common cause, however frivolous that cause may be. The over-paid crybabies are doing their best to sow disunity, thus nullifying their raison d' etre. They're cancelling themselves.

662 I found it baffling that basketball and hockey even tried to have playoffs, anyway.

It's so late in the year now that they won't have any sort of off-season to speak of before it's time for the next season; they should've just scrubbed the whole post-season to begin with.

Then again, we wouldn't be enjoying their salty tears if they had done the smart thing, so...

665 So...let me get this straight...
A cabal of Democrat elites in the NBA "do good"...which results in the collapse of the NBA removing the ability of minorities to rise out of poverty...but that's not racist.

A cabal of Democrat elites in the major cities "do good"...which results in looting, rioting, and lawlessness removing the ability of minorities to rise out of poverty...but that's not racist.

A cabal of Democrat elites in urban schools "do good"...which results in subpar education and rampant illiteracy removing the ability of minorities to rise out of poverty...but that's not racist.

A cabal of Democrat elites in the health departments "do good"...which results in people being confined in risky family situations removing the ability of minorities to rise out of poverty...but that's not racist.

Take urban dwellers at their word....there is indeed systemic racism, and thy name, as it always has been, is the Democrat party and the institutions they rule.
