    We'll probably never know once the players' union protects their paycheck.

    This is a highly effective protest. The purpose of protests is to draw attention to what's being protested. This sure as hell will do that. Correction, is doing that right now.

    I mean, what do you guys want? It's impossible for us to know if the Bucks would have done this if they were down 3-1 in the series. It sounds like they were willing to forfeit the game and give the W to the Magic. Are we going to shit on them because they aren't going to quit the league and become civil rights lawyers? Should I stop donating to my local food bank because I'm not willing to devote myself fully to that cause?

    It's not "you guys" .
    It's the Paterno apologist, and the guy with a gambling addiction.

    One of the great lines in my 17 years here and needs to be a line in a book or Tarantino movie.

    Again, what's the end game here? Abandon the NBA season? Or just today's games?

    Probably until after the funerals of the dead protesters.

    Now if the MLS calls off tonight, then I'll have a reaction... love me some MLS totals.

    My OKC-Houston action was already refunded. All good. Just don't do any parlays until this gets resolved.

    Are you the Paterno apologist, or the guy with a gambling addiction?

    That's on the table, if you believe the reports coming out of the bubble.

    Police shot an unarmed black man was shot seven times point blank in the back until his spine was severed and his head hit the steering wheel while his children sat in the car and watched.

    Repeat that. It's uncomfortable. It's horrifying. But repeat it. And remember what protests like the ones going on in sports are about.
