Sources: Every team besides Lakers and Clippers voted to continue playing. LeBron James said in meeting he want owners to be more involved/take action.
I don't know what more Lebron wants these owners to do. I haven't paid all that much attention but it seems like they're donating money to the cause, encouraging players to speak out, plastering BLM all over the courts, etc.

Fuck if I know. Just MOAR!!!! This whole thing today has broken me. Everything, right now, is never going to end. It just goes on and on. Covid life sucks really bad and I'm now doubting it's threat vs. the misery I feel under it's restrictions. It's a depressing and helpless feeling.

Thats what im wondering too? What changes do they want before they would play again? more laws? More training for police officers? Defund the police?
Unfortunately, theres always going to be bad guys out there. There will always be incidents like this. So as a player whos protesting, when do you decide that enough change has occured for you to start playing again?

Dave it will cycle back off.
Hopefully it does so soon and peacefully. But it might not. It might have to wait until people get hungry and actually have to worry about basic human needs. I don’t necessarily know the path that would take, but it would cycle it back off.

Really the only practical thing they could get done before wrecking the season is shitcanning the cops. So, cool I guess?

Famously, All good things come to an end. But also...... all bad things eventually come to an end.
Only two teams — the Lakers and Clippers — voted to end the season, while the others, including the Bucks, voted to play on. Sources said the Lakers and Clippers cast their vote, the Miami Heat’s Udonis Haslem asked how the season could continue without them, megastar LeBron James got up and left the meeting, and the rest of the two teams followed. Players were “shocked” when LeBron walked out of the meeting, sources said.
:-) This fucking chode is going to try and force the league to stop despite being significantly outvoted by taking his ball and going home literally. After his bullshit with Daryl Morey LeBron can get absolute fucked.

And actually with males it's about 22:1 to females.

So clearly Lebron wants to be a dictator just like the rest of this march. Agree with us or get out of our way. No democracy what so ever, and the problem is, he’s a huge idol for so many young kids that it’s really bad that he’s acting this way and telling millions of kids and adults this is the right way to act, when you don’t get your way.
