Is this real or is this from The Babylon bee?
This surprises me because I thought the NBA Players Association and owners had already worked out the resumption of the season, and a revised playoff format for this season.

Let them all cancel. Only sport I’ve ever watched is MMA. Sooner or later all sports “stars” come to find out that they are pimples on the ass of time. Meaningless and temporary.

Yes, and the Bullets are now the Wizards, and they play downtown, not in PG County.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, during a conference call with over 80 other NBA players this Friday, Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets expressed concerns that restarting basketball would distract Americans from the ongoing discussion over systemic racism in law enforcement, which for the record isn’t real.

I just love being denounced by multimillionaire blacks about systemic racism.

So the Beijing Negroes Basketball League sits out the season?
Boo-frickin’-hoo
Lost all interest in the NBA after it supported Communist China over the USA, to the point of having fans ejected and arrested for protesting for Hong Kong freedom.
Let them play in Communist China.

Brings back memories for me. I remember going to a few Bullets games at the Capital Center in Landover , Maryland.
I recall they changed the nickname from Bullets to Wizards, because of the owner not wanting to be associated with gun violence, or be seen as endorsing gun violence.
No word yet as to whether the youth gangs of the Washington DC area laid down their weapons in response to the basketball team no longer allegedly endorsing violence in their nickname.

Actually, TV revenues in the form of ESPN can’t dry up.
If you have cable, you pay ESPN $8 a month.
