Matt Barnes: Some Lakers And Clippers Players Want Season Cancelled Amid Social Injustices

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."

Don’t see how that helps injustice

Fine with me!

Can’t they sit out on their own and forfeit their salary if they so choose? Why do people always act like these things are out of their control? They don’t have to play.

Hmmmmmmmmmm

I would think the games being played would provide a platform. Also they could donate money earned playing the remainder of the season if they wanted.

Lol, I'm good with that!!

So keeping lots of money from black men is going to save black lives? That’s a bold strategy.

Lmfao. Good. Take away their salary. See how quickly they play.

Mao James can’t possibly be one of them
The way they’ve been playing this year no way he sits as they’re a top 3 team. Remember he needs more titles to help his bruised ego feel more adequate to tGOAT.

Then I hope they’re ok with not being paid. Good luck to the rookies on that team living in LA with no salary.

So Beta Mao James and AD?
The Lakers are so scared

Yup, they want money for nothing. LOTS of money.

Cancel the entire league. Fold it up for good.

They see a rested James and don’t want anything to do with CC

Would be very curious as to what these anonymous players consider “fully addressing” police brutality and racial inequality.
Like a snap of the fingers is going to fix divisions and stereotypes and behaviors ingrained into American culture, both black and white, for decades if not centuries.

I wonder if these players could articulate just one specific, identifiable thing they want done regarding “injustice”—that would be accomplished because of them sitting out of a basketball game.

Yep Kawhi shudders at the thought of having to enter the postseason on an equal footing to other stars and he not the only one with a full tank of gas.
