I don’t believe there are any owners that are actually going to feel these protests in their pockets, nor will these protests change anything. I’m positive every sport franchise owner makes their money through other business ventures. Sports teams are vanity projects for them. If the NBA collapsed, every owner would shrug their shoulders and go back to collecting their millions through their various other companies and assets that they have. The players will lose out most because if a league collapses the owners all have back up businesses and investments. Most players, especially lower level players have nothing to fall back on financially.

If the new normal is politics constantly infiltrating all aspects of sports than I am officially done with all pro sports for good. I go to CNN, FOX or Global/CBC/CTV for my political news not TSN. I wonder if players would have walked out if there were actual paying fans in the stands. A lot of people might be pissed off if they paid to attend a game and then it was cancelled.
