The owner made his decision, which he had the authority and the right to do. Now we'll see what happens...
Will the players, who are overwhelmingly black, continue to play for a team owner accused of systemic racism?
Will the networks continue to pay for and broadcast Rockets games, putting money in that cracker's pocket?
Will the fans continue to buy Rockets tickets and merch?
My guess is the players will play, and the networks and fans will pay. There may be a new patch sewn on their uniforms, virtue signalling commitment to an idea they flagrantly and hypocritically ignore. It matters not to me, I won't be watching.
Everything I said still applies, though.
