I Milwaukee Bucks hanno deciso di abbandonare il match valido per gara-5 contro gli Orlando Magic, valida per il primo turno dei playoff della NBA 2019/2020. Di seguito le reazioni degli appassionati sul social network Twitter, considerando che il boicottaggio dei Bucks è dovuto all’episodio di odio razziale da parte della polizia su Jacob Blake, uomo afroamericano.
NBA players are now boycotting their own games. The NBA audience had already collapsed and now it will tank even more. This is get woke, go broke for all the world to see. Amazing. https://t.co/O10E3WC79l

Sports are a reward for a functioning society. The Bucks and Magic are making it very clear that it is very much not functioning.

Black athletes flexing their power and muscle. Awesome. Respect to the Bucks and Magic for their boycott. If America isn't going to respect Black Lives you have every right not to play and entertain us until we do.
