No games tonight

rumor has it the players are sitting out 

FYI 

Laughable

Hate they canceled tonight. Really wanted to watch some games tonight.

However, on the bright side, ratings for the Republican National Convention will go up now.  

mlb starting pitch going down right now :)

this is starting to be a monkey see monkey do thing.  i get the idea from a micro level but from a macro level the cops and individuals who are responsible for this brutality aren't going to give a shit if sports are on hold.  honestly makes little sense they are better off playing and captivating audiences with their messages than sitting on the sidelines and having no voice other than the action.  just my opinion.

Well let switch to horses betting..

  Trump2020

the nhl got shamed into not playing. there was outrage they played last night. you cant play hockey and be against racism. thats not allowed in todays world.  this is just a joke now. bruce arians even said today protesting doesnt do sht. he s right. we arent going to play today but we ll play tomorrow lol. and oh the irony to tribedawgs point. all the trump haters that make up the nba are taking the night off that trumps speaking. well guess what a lot of people will be watching now because they dont have sports to watch. well thought out guys. well thought out. this is what happens when you have a movement with no leader or plan. oh wait... isnt  kapernick the leader? where s he at

whats going to happen when the cop in the floyde case get s off or convicted of a much less charge. no sports for 2 months?

Games cancelled for tomorrow also

It kind of looks like a "safe" play by the players and NHL to postpone games for a night in solidarity with NBA. I think it's a pretty effective tactic, this type of protest is to grab peoples' attention that are paying attention to the hockey world but not on what's going on with the shootings and other current events.

Playing anyway is not a hill the NHL is going to want to die on.

A multi-day protest wouldn't do more in my opinion than a one day protest though so it's weird that NBA would play today and NHL won't play tomorrow...

The world has lost its mind.

100% agree.....really surprised baseball didn't follow suit but with so many games to play especially Covid ravaged teams they only have so many days to make them up.  But, good on the NHL who don't really have a time table to complete their season. Enjoy the few nights off from gambling gents 

So the next time a cop is forced to draw his gun, he’s going to think twice about it because games might be cancelled again on that night?

How lame.

maybe Wal Mart should close too. How about CNN shuts down?

wish all these athletes would protest burning of churches and murder of babies

Fking arch criminals Who have no respect for authority and the law were shot. Anything that doesn’t go a certain way is racist. Get the koolaid bowl and dump it. Enough with the horse shhiitt.   Meanwhile most major cities are infested with drugs, Black on black nonsensical crimes and uneducated people. What purpose does the sitting a a day of games proves. 

heaven forbid a Biden victory 

Serious question. Do the athletes still get paid or only when they play? 

I'm an Italian-American man who grew up in Cicero, Illinois at a time when "The Outfit" ran EVERYTHING and black people and Hispanics couldn't walk down the street safely. I was married to a Mexican woman with whom I had a child and now I'm married to a black woman - so call me "racist" if you like LOL but if only these self-righteous pampered athletes and fake newscasters only gave a damn when black children routinely murder other black children on the South and West Sides of Chicago every fucking day maybe the world would be a better place. Black Lives need to Matter in fatherless homes as well as in the abortion clinics where more black lives are extinguished than are born in America - oops I'm sorry - those lives may be black but don't matter because there is not a political agenda to be exploited....IMO...

Police should not be allowed any service weapons unless they are part of a special anti terrorism task force like in the U.K. Batons, mace bottle, taser and martial arts skills will be more than enough. 

The NBA players are the GOD to all sports if you don't respect ? them and their demands YOU will be JUDGED. IT will not matter and YOU must meet there DEMANDS. The NBA players do have the POWER but must use it WISELY and i have to admit they are DUMB as ROCKS and has no IDEA how to USE the POWERS they possess they only ask people options and REACT without HESITATING thinking.
