What's this?

Why?

The narrative is that it was due to race.
Look at my post.
Do we know why they shot him?
The narrative is that he was shot due to the color of his skin..... Period. "Another innocent black man gunned down in cold blood."
Again, do we know why he was trying to get away from cops that had drawn guns on him and were yelling at him to stop? What was he going for in the car? Did he say something that caused the cops to fear for the children in the car?

Bucks boycotting game 5. This will be interesting ... -- vt90 08/26/2020 4:35PM

I think the the viewing demos of the NBA would mostly support this. -- ElbertoHokie 08/26/2020 5:47PM

The Brewers and Reds just canceled their game. Any comment on that -- SDHokie 08/26/2020 6:47PM

MLB postponing games will draw more attention than NBA. -- ElbertoHokie 08/26/2020 10:51PM

No one is watching any of it -either sport- -- bigbadbird 08/26/2020 7:15PM

Exactly. It’s a non-existent demographic. ** -- RoswellGAHokie 08/26/2020 8:21PM

Except the NBA just cancelled all games. -- VTNuke 08/26/2020 6:32PM

Yeah...show me something, I say. Play the game, but donate your paycheck -- Coach McGuirk 08/26/2020 6:39PM

Do you have any idea how much money LeBron gives to charity? ** -- SDHokie 08/26/2020 6:49PM

No. How much? ** -- Coach McGuirk 08/26/2020 6:50PM

Google it. Over $41M, more than any other pro athlete. ** -- SDHokie 08/26/2020 7:46PM

Awesome, truly. Maybe he can get all of the other boy-cotters onboard. -- Coach McGuirk 08/26/2020 8:00PM

You’ll have to excuse SD. He gets super woke after a few chardonnays. ** -- RoswellGAHokie 08/26/2020 8:20PM

I wouldn't say never, but.... -- VTNuke 08/26/2020 6:44PM

Agree. But what weapon or weapons did he have? Local gov -- 133743Hokie 08/26/2020 7:24PM

No, don't do that. Even if that was the case, it escalated in a way that's -- VTNuke 08/26/2020 9:04PM

Don't do that. Just because it's tragic doesn't mean the officers involved -- 133743Hokie 08/26/2020 10:20PM

MLB considering doing the same apparently. -- LonghornHokie 08/26/2020 6:13PM

Been boycotting NBA games for 35 yrs. Have 0 interest in pro BB. ** -- 7Hokie1 08/26/2020 5:36PM

Same here. When the Pistons started winning I left. Liked LA, Celts & 6ers -- 81_Hokie 08/26/2020 6:16PM

Same. Can name far more players on the late 80s Lakers team than current. ** -- RoswellGAHokie 08/26/2020 6:00PM

Are the Jazz still in New Orleans? ** -- mancunian 08/26/2020 6:05PM

Yep. And the Kings are in KC. ** -- RoswellGAHokie 08/26/2020 6:11PM

Jazz moved to Utah. NOLA later got the Pelicand ** -- 133743Hokie 08/26/2020 7:25PM

LOL! Exactly! I do, however, have a rooting interest a crash and burn... -- Coach McGuirk 08/26/2020 5:57PM

“Some men like to watch the world burn.” ** -- mancunian 08/26/2020 6:08PM

Ehhh...that doesn't apply to me. But I am a huge Karma guy, haha. ** -- Coach McGuirk 08/26/2020 6:10PM

Ugghh** -- astrohokie 08/26/2020 5:24PM

Good. Athletes are only beginning to understand their power and influence ** -- BB Hokie 08/26/2020 5:16PM

Ha. I consider this an improvement. ** -- HealthHokie 08/27/2020 08:30AM

I find it amusing that the people that they are hurting with the boycott -- Coach McGuirk 08/26/2020 6:05PM

Emmm, I'm happy for them to speak their minds freely -- Vippie1 08/26/2020 5:43PM

Their strike today is on the front page of every news site in the US... -- BB Hokie 08/26/2020 6:00PM

They aren't effective when done by multi- millionaires that are -- 133743Hokie 08/26/2020 7:29PM

You stumbled upon a good point. The “strike” violates the CBA’s no-strike -- RoswellGAHokie 08/26/2020 6:10PM

Apparently games are being postponed not eliminated. Still gotta get paid! ** -- 133743Hokie 08/26/2020 7:30PM

I celebrate the strike. But not for the reasons they think. ** -- Coach McGuirk 08/26/2020 6:06PM

Exactly. Just like I don’t want a CFA employee proselytizing when I get my -- RoswellGAHokie 08/26/2020 5:59PM

The NBA and/or their teams are free to fine them but the -- ElbertoHokie 08/26/2020 5:50PM

True I just don't think it is a good look -- Vippie1 08/26/2020 6:00PM

I disagree, mainly because the NBA is pretty much behind them on this -- MYNAMEISHOKIE 08/26/2020 9:22PM

That's understandable. But I think they know that sports is the -- ElbertoHokie 08/26/2020 6:03PM

Baller Union = too much power for such obscene wealth. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 08/26/2020 5:56PM

I’m PhotoHokieNC, and I agry with this post. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 08/26/2020 5:47PM

I'm glad pampered millionaires who play a game for a living are finally -- HokieNoVA 08/26/2020 5:40PM

Sports books interpret this as a forfeit or resked? ($$$$$$$) ** -- ColoVT82 08/26/2020 5:25PM

NBA has officially postponed. ** -- ElbertoHokie 08/26/2020 5:43PM

Good. Just reinforcing how stupid they are. -- HokieGator 08/26/2020 5:15PM

What’s the flawed narrative? Cops shot him 8 times in the back after -- TJ Hokie 08/26/2020 6:13PM

Why? -- HokieGator 08/26/2020 6:23PM

Why did the cops go after him in the first place? Why weren’t they -- reestuart 08/26/2020 7:10PM

Possibly. There's a lot we don't know. Back to my original post and -- HokieGator 08/26/2020 7:15PM

Until the police answer why he was manhandled out of the stairway to start -- reestuart 08/26/2020 7:46PM

Here's some new info: Blake had a knife and may have been who the cops were -- RUHokie 08/26/2020 10:29PM

Agree... Something happened. There was a reason he was going for the knife. -- HokieGator 08/26/2020 7:49PM

Have you been watching the news? -- SDHokie 08/26/2020 6:45PM

First of all, you do know that this kid shot a white person, right? -- HokieGator 08/26/2020 7:04PM

Ridiculous. -- SDHokie 08/26/2020 7:45PM

Looks like the breaking up a fight narrative is false.. -- RUHokie 08/26/2020 10:35PM

I just want to hear the other side... -- HokieGator 08/26/2020 8:29PM

You make way too many assumptions. Lets have all of the facts before -- IB4TECH 08/26/2020 8:14PM

All games today now "postponed" ** -- 133743Hokie 08/26/2020 5:15PM

It’s the nba. Nobody cares. ** -- BobG 08/26/2020 4:43PM

If by nobody you mean hundreds of millions across the globe, then yeah -- LonghornHokie 08/26/2020 5:52PM

Then let them all emigrate to where their fans live. -- PhotoHokieNC 08/26/2020 6:09PM

What about corporate / political leadership, team owners, finance, legal -- LonghornHokie 08/26/2020 10:54PM

Yes, and no. Does that answer your two questions? The NBA would be -- PhotoHokieNC 08/27/2020 05:19AM

Somebody must care -- Vippie1 08/26/2020 5:46PM

Will anyone even know? I know I won't. I'm glad you posted, though. -- Coach McGuirk 08/26/2020 4:40PM

Their right to do so, but they are tone deaf that their opinions are no -- 133743Hokie 08/26/2020 5:18PM
