That's why they make so much money

Honestly, if they don't finish out the season, no one will care about these players either. It would be a betrayal to the fans who supported them and it would destroy the NBA. I guarantee if they ended the season now without finishing the playoffs, when they did return, they'd lose 50% of their fans. Imagine if the Jags finally made the playoffs and during the playoff run, the players voted to end the season over something that had absolutely nothing to do with sports? I'd be done with this team. Nothing could bring me back. The NBA is gonna regret allowing this "social justice" into their sport. People watch sports to escape the "doom and gloom" of what is going on in the world today. Without the distraction of sports, people are just gonna get more angry and violent.

My guess is they will get the owners to donate to a cause so they can declare some kind of moral victory, then come back and play.

In my perfect world,  the owners tell them to pound sand, but spineless men like Mark Cuban are scared to death of offending the woke mob, so he and Ballamer will donate a [BLEEP] ton of cash to BLM to put this behind them.
