The NBA has become insufferable. As if killing the game weren't bad enough, they also sacrificed everything enjoyable about sports in favor of social justice messaging. And it backfired, giving the league record low ratings and 68% drop in viewership for the NBA finals. The Black Lives Matter messaging painted all over the court will be “largely left off the floor” as commissioner Adam Silver said the league is going back to "normal" next season.

The Milwaukee Bucks decided not to play its playoff game on Wednesday to protest the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, WI. Their strike caused a domino effect that spread to other leagues. But if they all play tomorrow or even the rest of the season do their actions on Wednesday even matter?

Members of the WNBA teams New York Liberty and Seattle Storm left the court before the national anthem played before their game. Many outlets said the ladies left during the anthem based on an ESPN tweet. The network corrected itself and said they left before it played as if that makes it any better.
