If you don’t, we’ll walk out.” Walking out on a whim without goals comes across as disorganized. Heart in a good place but it’s an opportunity lost with a league who hasn’t silenced anyone (except if there’s a strong position on China) ��.

Yes! Should have been done before going to the bubble in the wake of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. But now the NBA has already put in the work to create the bubble, a great atmosphere, and a great platform for messaging and support. So it makes it appear like they were fine with it, until this latest shooting.
