Will the NBA playoffs continue? I couldn’t care less.

NBA players decided not to participate in the playoff games scheduled for tonight. They are talking about shutting down the playoffs entirely, but no decision has been made.

The players are responding to the shooting by the Kenosha, Wisconsin police of Jacob Blake. He’s a career criminal and a chronic abuser of women. According to this report from a Wisconsin newspaper, Blake has been charged with rape.

The facts surrounding the shooting of Blake aren’t entirely clear — not to me and not to any NBA player. However, it looks like Blake resisted arrest — wrestling with two police officers, freeing himself, and then attempting to drive away. When the officers failed to intercept or restrain Blake, they shot him.

I would love to claim I am boycotting pro sports in protest,but the truth is I never had any interest in them to start with. I only lived a few blocks from Mile High Stadium in Denver and never went to see a game. I lived close enough I could hear the crowd roar when a touchdown was made if a window was open.

I was even offered free tickets to a home game the first time they went to the Super Bowl,and turned them down.

LOVED playing sports,but never had the tiniest interest in watching them.

Then again,nobody has ever created a "nekkid womens professional tennis tour". I'd be all-in for THAT one!

Today, the NBA is a Militant Black anti-America organization which is run and controlled by China.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Abe Saperstein, an English Jew, created the Harlem Globetrotters; the essence of basketball.
For him, this activity was never anything more than vaudeville antics w/a ball and a basket on a pole;
and nothing has changed over the past 90+ years!!!!!

I've boycotted basketball after the departures of Bird and Magic.  They've been on a SJW kick since.  I am of the leaning, I wish I could do everything within peaceful means to destroy the game. 

But, Thuggery Incorporated is  doing a bang up job themselves of self destruction, without me.
