they should just end. They've gone too political now. Until I see more than 2 or 3 of them pull their head out their ass and speak out against the violent riots, then they are complicit according to current BLM "rules" about anyone who doesn't say something. The players are tweeting about how we should get rid of cops, but you'll NEVER see them without their security guards. Why do they deserve to be protected but the rest of us citizens not? They be sucking China's dick for the money. America doesn't need their commie asses to entertain us anymore.

The whiners out there are claiming the NHL is too White. I think the NBA is too black and have no desire to watch a bunch of unattractive men run around in their underwear. Hope it never comes back! As far as the NHL being too White, that's because blacks have genetically weak ankles and can't skate well enough to play hockey. Hope it stays too White, it's the only White sport we have left now that NASCAR has turned all politically correct.

Not one comment is about the NHL. Stop using my post to be racist. Stop trying to create race wars.

It's the black community that is trying to start a race war. What do you think destroying monuments and statues is all about? Blacks are more racist than Whites, they hate anything that is White. But they get away with their racism. They can write cRAP lyrics about killing Whites and nobody blinks. They can say White Trash, trailer trash, hillbilly, redneck, cracker, and not a peep from anybody, but dare to say anything about them, especially the dreaded N word, and the whole country is screaming "White Supremacist." When I saw NBA it just reminded me about the latest complaint about the NHL.

It's so they have a bit of time off between the seasons. I don't believe they're shortening the 2020-2021 season, just starting it a bit later.

Of course this is assuming they (and all the major sports) manage to actually come back as planned. I'll believe it when it really happens.

@NYCQuestions1976 I still don't like it. They should wait and just get everyone ready for October. I heard Disney offered all this shit. I don't like it. The players probably won't be as ready which increases chances of injury. I think the owners are just money hungry.

No. The NBA should just go away permanently. The NBA has ruined actual basketball. No one plays (or is lazy at best) on defense, and every tiny minuscule thing is a foul. It's laughable and sad at the same time.

That's what the NBA wanted. Jerry Colangalo and David Stern are to blame for that. See in the early 2000s it was all about defense (think Pistons and Spurs). They thought the game was too slow so they did everything in their power to change it. You're right. I don't like basketball as much. I like baseball first and then football and then basketball. Used to like basketball more.

@Red_Dragon You would've loved watching the Knicks and Bulls going at it all through the 1990s. The Knicks never got past them in the playoffs with Jordan there, but those games were bloodbaths. I remember one regular season game that went to overtime and the final score was like 93 to 89. In overtime! Today that like a third quarter score.

Yeah I was a little bit too young. Jordan was with the Wizards when I really got into basketball good and knew what was going on. I have went back and watched a lot of his games. And see that's why Jordan will always be better than Lebron. I mean maybe you can argue with Kobe and Lebron but even Kobe played defense and was on the best player on the other team. Lebron doesn't do that. Hell he let KD shit in his face many times. Countless times. With terrible defense. Wow he gets one great block here or there. So what? Hell you could argue Wade was better. I know Tim Duncan is. I got him above Lebron.

@Red_Dragon Apparently you value defense the same as I do. I'm also a big baseball (Yankees) and football (Giants) fan and have always valued defensive play over offense, even in this "fantasy sports" era (and even though I'm in a fantasy football league). Unfortunately baseball and football are also going more towards basketball, favoring homeruns, big fast scoring plays, and offense in general over defense. The only exception (usually) is still the playoffs in both sports. Great pitching and tackling is still important in their respective postseasons... but I wonder how much longer. Just look at the Super Bowl between the Patriots and Eagles a few years ago. Something like 1,200 yards of offense? What a joke! That was the most yards EVER in ANY game (regular season or playoffs) in the HISTORY of the NFL. Just terrible... and I believe that it's only a matter of time before it's commonplace instead of the exception.

@Red_Dragon Yes. The one actual defensive play of the entire game won the championship.

Admittedly I only pay attention to boxing in passing. It bothers me how blatantly corrupt it is. Much like FIFA in soccer. They don't even try to hide it, and sometimes even openly brag about the corruption.
