Matt Barnes knows all about brutality. Ask the women he's been in a relationship with.

Fine with me. No play, no pay, and no rings.

Good. I already forgot about the NBA, and don't want it getting in the way of football season as it is. Bye

I can’t imagine for the most part these players want the season canceled. They are two of the three teams favored to win the whole thing. Now I definitely think LeBron has thought about it, because he already has an illegitimate championship from that strike season. So if the Lakers won this year, he would have two illegitimate championships and would never be able to live down that he won two titles through illegitimate means

I love how this board flips the frick out and calls it fake news when a reporter claims an anonymous source says a conservative or an LSU related person said something stupid but Matt Barnes says a couple of players out of 30 dudes between two teams might not want to play and it turns into frick THESE RICH arse WOKE BITCHES.

Amy goodwill they built up by being the league who actually got their heads out of their asses and put together a plan to play (I'm looking at YOU, MLB) would likely be washed away.

While the NBA Players Association approved the league's 22-team plan to finish the 2019-20 season following a hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of players apparently are not comfortable taking the court again until police brutality and racial inequality issues that have dominated headlines of late are fully addressed.

During a conversation with Josiah Johnson for Yahoo Sports' "Dunk Bait," former player Matt Barnes said, "A couple guys from the Lakers and the Clippers ... there are some whispers about some teams not being comfortable. Some guys want to play and some don't want to play."

Bye.

I’m pretty sure if there were no NBA or NFL my life would go ahead as normal.

Why don’t these players and leagues wake the hell up and realize these sports are not required viewings. If they want to strike for injustices, or turn the sports in an infomercial that alienates millions of people, then have at it. The fans will then just have more time to do more productive things in their own life. The players will have to find a new way to make money. Who really has the leverage here?

If the NBA and NFL continue to screw this up I hope fans will keep them turned off. But maybe another sport will wise up and just play the game without all of the politics. Would be hilarious and send a strong message if the NHL gained millions of viewers that the other sports lost because they actually cared to respect the audience.
