It's a suggestion. What will it take for NBA players to start playing playoff games again? Owners will talk to their players behind the scenes after providing a public statement about supporting the boycott.

I don't think for a minute that the owners are willing to lose money with players boycotting games without listening to the players. Listen to the player's demands.

Money talks. Money runs political lobbying. That's how the world works.

The player's approach of wearing social justice slogans or "Black Lives Matter" t-shirts won't turn the tide of systemic racism in our society. Maybe the voice for action needs to come from the very top of the NBA. The owners.
