After threats to boycott season, NBA reverses course and announces playoffs will resume
August 27, 2020 | Vivek Saxena

Sources: NBA players in meeting today agreed to continue playing this postseason — but want to find new and improved ways to make social justice statements. Players expect games to resume this weekend.

Hilariously, the NBA decided to stop the games for awhile so people could tune into Trump's acceptance speech.

Unintended consequences.
