Democratic Presidential Candidate Joe Biden offered his support for the Milwaukee Bucks after the team boycotted a playoff game Wednesday in solidarity with Jacob Blake.“This moment demands moral leadership. And these players answered by standing up, speaking out, and using their platform for good,” Biden tweeted. “Now is not the time for silence.”Biden shared a Twitter link to a video statement from the team, in which the Bucks called for the Wisconsin state Legislature to hold a special session addressing police reform.

Where is Biden’s moral leadership? Does he have any?
“Cumon, man! Gotta be in the basement somewhere. Hey, Jill, where’s my moral leadership thing?”

If I cared, which I don't, I would want them to forfeit the game. Of course, it wouldn't make much difference, as no one attends these farces anyway. I just wonder why the owners would pay them if they don't play.

Right, Joe, now is not the time for silence. It is also not the time for a rush to judgement. And let us not forget the people whose lives and livelihoods have been destroyed by the arson and looting, many of them black. BLM is present in those activities, but I don't see anyone taking a knee in protest over that.

The Milwaukee Thugs probably wanted to join in the rioting. Primal instincts and all that, I guess.

I hope that senile old f☆rt recognizes the moral leadership of folks that start rebeling against the petty dictators in the nations Democrat statehouses! And the moral leadership of the patriots that start confronting these 'peaceful' protesters head on in the streets of America.

Lakers and Clippers voted to not finish the nba season. So where we at Joe? No fans in the stand. No eyeballs glued to tv sets. No excitement, comments and anticipation online from fans, tv commentators simply walking out while live on air and the very real potential that the nba season will end with tears over the wounding of a resisting arrest 3rd degree sex and domestic abuse felon. Virtue signalling an end to the nba. NFL and probably MLB will be next. Thank god horses don't virtue signal.

Politics has no place in sports. If they choose not to play, then they can give back their salaries. I have had enough.

Are the players going to return a pro-rata portion of their salaries?

And the players and Biden all went downtown and marched in protest!
They didn't? Oh, too short of notice for CNN to get a camera crew there?
And the players and Biden all promised to donate large portions of their salaries to all of the grieving families! No? Let the hired help and taxpayers take care of it for them. Well, at least they have good intentions.True dimocrats

The irony is that these idiots are ruining the future of the sport for young athletes, who are mainly black! Many of those kids are watching their future vocation being trashed by rich, self-centered people who don't care.
I would advise those young people to concentrate on education, instead of basketball!

If you asked Joe point blank who Jacob Blake was, his rheumy eyes would glaze over.
Is Jill doing his tweets? One of his other operatives?

So Biden backs the NBA's boycott of their season. Now we know Democrats never sacrifice anything of theirs, just something of ours. This proves Biden doesn't watch and never has watched the NBA since he will lose nothing.

Figures Joe, like his former boss Obama, would be against the cops and their right to survive right now. Blake screwed up, his mama knows he screwed up, and that is why she is trying to calm things down. But then these spoiled brats never do listen to mama do they?

The senile Joe Biden probably thought that was a group of Milwaukee black males and he's pandering for their vote. Biden doesn't know buck or big black buck is a derogatory term to black males help Joe out, Jill, with this one.

Ha ha. Joe is wrong again. Take a poll and see if people care about the pampered NBA.
