Milwaukee Bucks Considering BOYCOTT of Game 5 Matchup Against Orlando Magic - [ALL WED & THU GAMES OFFICIALLY POSTPONED] - PLAYOFFS RESUME AUG 29TH
- Thread starter xfactor
- Start date
Barkley just did the same thing. After all that Webber said and Kenny walking out, he went straight to talking about the players money.
He was talking like some of the players can't afford to take no games off just because he and Shaq will do anything for some paper and a pat on the back from a white man.
Netflix had black shows before Monique came around which is why they got into this mess to begin with. Offering her a special.
they didnt like they do now is what i am saying.
They did though lol. Mind you these shows go into pre-production a year to 2 years plus before we see it. Those shows and movies you saw that came out were already on schedule to be released before the Monique shit.
I fucking hate when people want to bring money up like that's going to save them from getting executed by race soldiers..Instead of worrying about money,how about doing the right thing..That's what's wrong in the world, people put money on a pedestal.....
netflix buys a lot of show bro not every show is produced by them.
but you can have it, monique doesnt have a legitimate case for the hell of it.
The ratings will be down because we are in a pandemic and we are getting a different product. But the ratings are not bad.
Good point.
I mean it is what it is. Its been black people come out and talk about how shitty she is. Her and her "Daddy" or whatever the fuck she want to call him. Crazy shit is someone just this week came out and said she blackballed them.
what that got to do with netflix?
Its a credit to her word. Her word ain't 100. Netflix business model is shitty for everyone unless you a big name. Monique fucked up thinking she was even a fraction of what Dave Chappell was.what that got to do with netflix?
I wonder was this always the plan? If they don't play the rest of this season? Many.... for sure it was if that happen.
Sterling is from my hometown just like Doc Rivers is. Both of their dads were police at that.
lets keep the focus on netflix and racist shit these platforms be doing.instead of listening to hear say.
netflix aint the only ones tho
also again she never ask for daves money. she wanted 2 mill. which is fair.
I've been saying where is he. Do you go in the fuckin basketball thread?
He's been silent the whole time.
He's not in the bubble, and his excuse was basketball would be an excuse.
He's not playing as are a handful of other players.....so he should be on the front line
Meanwhile the ones who have been playing have been a lot more vocal than he has.
real shit
What did Barkley and Shaq say?
Shaq
Said what Barkley said and we know what Barkley says
This. Tons of people including me stream games through online sources. The game is still drawing big interests & conversations if you look at all the social media sites. People are watching the games.
Oh, well says you. You keep giving your money to greedy white people and they will keep treating you like shit. You must be a Knick fan. Dumb as Spkie Lee giving $100K's for front row seats to see perineal losers.
You'll keep crying about getting disrespected yet keep forking over your money like a dumbass.
Once these guys contacts/CBA are over its a new ball game. If they are dumb enough to get stuck in one place and pimped by a bunch of white people with no arenas then they are dumber than I thought.
Why not set up your own league in Vegas and cut out the middle man? Money isn't the problem its basic brainpower, which you probably lack. Your probably some pasty ass white troll who rather see the system continue. Or you gotta keep typing dumb shit like your last reply to keep your shitty job.
Now go away No-botty. Get it. No-BOTTY. Haha, I just made a funny.
Why does it have to be just athletes. No one should show up to work u til something is done. Shut the whole fucking economy down
When i seen this. That’s what I was thinking.
Love it man. Aries always keeps it real. He has a good point though, not just athletes but actors, actresses and entertainers should step up. If you're about that, be about that, own it! don't just pander to the masses.
"This Is A Protest That Doesn't Have An End To It Until All The Problems Go Away"
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll reflects on a historic day in sports.

As the Seahawks went through a mock game at CenturyLink Field, sports history was taking place in Florida.
In response to yet another police shooting of a black man—Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back by a police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin on Sunday—the Milwaukee Bucks elected not to take the court for their playoff game against Orlando. In a statement read by players, the Bucks said they are "calling for justice for Jacob Blake and demand the officers be held accountable."
Later, other NBA teams followed suit, with the Thunder and Rockets and Trail Blazers and Lakers all deciding to postpone their playoff matchups. WNBA teams also elected not to play Wednesday, as did Major League Soccer teams, Sounders FC included, and some Major League Baseball teams, including the Seattle Mariners.
After finishing their mock game and returning to the locker rooms, Seahawks players quickly began catching up on the historic events happening across sports, and Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, who has long been supportive of his players using their platforms to make a difference in the world outside of football, expressed his support for the movement the Bucks started.
"The fact that this occurred again with Jacob Blake (shot) in plain view, plain sight is just such a horrific thing that happened," Carroll said. "We talked about it again today with our guys just to try to give some moments to the thought of families and everybody that has to go through all this stuff.
"I heard Doc Rivers talking today, and Doc did a great job of stating that this is just ridiculous. I can't even imagine that this continues to happen. I don't know how somebody could ever do that under the circumstances and the awareness that everybody should have right now, but it continues to happen, so it continues to be a real problem. There's a lot of problems, but that's just one of the ones that just jumps out at us. So I really applaud those guys for taking the night, but that we all know that's not enough, it's just a statement, and what is important that everybody who is involved knows, it's what we do about it and what we keep doing to straighten things out and get things right. This whole thing is ridiculous, and anybody that doesn't recognize that just isn't paying attention."
The start of the NFL season is still more than two weeks away, so Carroll nor anyone else involved knows what form of protests might take place when Week 1 games are scheduled to start, but he will remain supportive of his players using their voices in whatever ways they see fit.
"You know, anything is possible," Carroll said when asked if it's possible that NFL teams could elect to not play games. "I mentioned to the players, this the season of protest. So we'll handle ourselves as we do. But this is a protest that doesn't have an end to it until all the problems go away, and we solve issues and stuff. So we're going to do our part and continue to work to stay actively involved and continue to stay in touch with the situations that are going on by staying on the topics, just in hopes that we can be there to help and support when we can and have influence where we can. The whole Black Lives Matter thing couldn't be more obvious how true this whole movement is, and how much focus and change needs to come. It's just so clear. I hope we can do something to help.
"The one thing we're not, is we're not numb to it. We're in tune, the guys are feeling it, it's topical, and we know that we have to do something. Like everybody that cares on the right side of this whole issue, you worry that you can't do enough, you worry that you can't be effective enough to create the change that we need. So we'll continue to stay on it and continue to talk and do what we can."
Carroll also discussed Senator Cory Booker taking part in Tuesday night's team meeting, calling it a "big evening" for his team as Booker talked with players about the power athletes have to affect change.
"We had a really nice visit last night with Cory Booker, he visited with our team, and he helped us with a number of areas just trying to find the understanding and the potential for the change, and the thinking that's so important for us to stay with it," Carroll said. "He emphasized to us that everybody has a voice now, everybody can speak out and the guys can have an effect on the people who follow them and watch them. Everybody has social media, every one of our guys has a big following, to some extent, and so they have people that care what they think about. And so he urged us to really think about what we want to say to those people, and know that we do have the power to have effect. It was really, really a big evening for us, and there will be more to come."

Pete Carroll believes NFL players could sit out games to protest racial injustice: 'Anything's possible'
This comes amid a league-wide postponement of games in the NBA

Playing: Chris Carson Expected To Return Soon (0:50)
Not long ago, there was a genuine possibility NFL teams would not take the field for the kickoff of the 2020 season. That, however, centered on negotiations over how to play football during a pandemic. Now, with the season right around the corner, COVID-19 protocols are all shored up, but there's something else that could stand in the way of games: racial injustice. In the wake of the NBA postponing playoff games while players speak out about police brutality and racism in America, Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll believes NFL teams could also sit out games in protest.
"Anything's possible," Carroll said Wednesday, per ESPN. "This is a protest season."
The coach's remarks come after the Seahawks held a renewed discussion on the Black Lives Matter movement, according to the Tacoma News Tribune's Gregg Bell. And they already have one prominent endorsement from inside Seattle's locker room, with new safety Jamal Adams tweeting support for both Carroll and the NBA players who helped orchestrate Wednesday's postponements.

Nearly a dozen other players, including Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills, have lauded the NBA's decision, saying the league "is showing us how it's done."
The NFL as a whole has been increasingly outspoken on social justice issues this offseason, initially in response to the Memorial Day killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. Commissioner Roger Goodell has encouraged players to peacefully protest injustice, openly acknowledged systemic racism and called on teams to be proactive for change. This week, conversations took on a new light after the viral shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
The Detroit Lions cancelled their training camp practice on Tuesday, instead standing side-by-side outside team facilities to advocate for justice and express their belief that "football is not important" amid such persistent injustice. The New York Giants took a similar, if less prominent, approach on Wednesday, delaying the start of practice to host dialogue on racial injustice and how to improve their community.
