Bucks Boycott Game 5!
Milwaukee’s walk out of game five against the magic was an act of protest for the movement Black Lives Matter (BLM) in response to the shooting of a man named Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Shortly after the bucks protest it turned into a domino effect and made the Rockets and Thunder game not to be played as well. This also lead to the Lakers and Trail Blazers to not play so no playoff game was played Wednesday.
The bucks owner Marc Lasry said “We fully support our players and the decision they made. although we did not know beforehand, we would have wholeheartedly agreed with them. The only way to bring about the changes is to shine a light on the racial injustices that are happening in front of us. Our players have done that and we will continue to stand alongside them and demand accountability and change.”
People around seem to be divided about if this protest works or not. Let me know your opinion if you think this was a good idea for the players or not.
