Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics posed this question in an interview. His answer was, "Are the players going home to chill with their families, or are they going out into the streets to protest and demand change? Because if players are just going home to chill, what's the point of shutting the season down?"

I'd like to see a survey of what the players are doing after the season shuts down.

The single biggest platform the NBA players have is the microphone before and after they PLAY basketball games. For them to voluntarily remove that platform is the height of ignorance.

Keep playing. Keep using the microphone. Public Relations 101.

Knowing most of the players, smoke dope and bang strippers until they run out of cash.

Mostly hookers and blow. A few will produce terrible rap albums or cause needless drama on social media.

Less than a dozen will actually take meaningful steps to improve race relations in America

LeBron is a made man. A lot of these players making these decisions have made their money. It's incredibly selfish to do this to the guys riding the bench or roleplayers.

As it has been pointed out countless times, the NBA is a major SJW organization. What does ending it's relevance this year do to help "solve racism"? It's a fool's errand. But like anything else in society the "elites" of the NBA, the top 20%, dictate everything. They are literally part of a system that that they complain about in larger society.

Just sit there until the house gets repossessed. Then tweet about racism until their phones get shut off.

so, what will they do starting in late September?

eta: on a more serious note, i can see some of them doing something. there are good people in the league. but i can see most of them doing nothing or very little.

NOW, when their checks stop coming in (if this boycott breaks the CBA and voids their contracts) they are going to start using race as a means to get the focus on the owners to do something about the league starting back, or the movement, or a combination of things they should be doing with their platform.

A handful will do actual work to make change but most will play video games and tweet some injustice stuff.

I'd wager 80% of the players don't want to shut down but they're stuck following Lebron and whatever brand he is trying to cultivate.
