Nachricht:	>Sehr lesenswert IMO. Das war ein wohlüberlegter Schritt der Bucks: > >[i:Inside the locker room, Bucks players were on a Zoom call with Wisconsin lieutenant governor Mandela Barnes and attorney general Josh Kaul, which had been facilitated by team owner Marc Lasry and senior vice president Alex Lasry. > >"They just wanted to know what they could do," Barnes said. "I mean, they were very interested in a call to action. They wanted something tangible that they could do in the short and long term. They wanted the walkout to be Step 1." > >Barnes told them they should "push for action at every level of government." They could pressure state lawmakers to vote on the police reform bill that Democratic Gov. Tony Evers proposed two months ago, but has gone without response from the Republican-held state assembly. > >The players wanted to know why the officers who shot Blake had not been arrested. Kaul tried to explain that the investigation was ongoing and would take time, but his phone kept cutting out as he drove though areas of poor reception. > >The Bucks stayed in their locker room for more than three hours before emerging to tell the world why they'd chosen not to play. > >"We're sorry that it took a little more time, but we thought it would be best for us as a team to brainstorm a little bit, educate ourselves and not rush into having raw emotion," Bucks guard George Hill said. > >As Barnes had suggested, the Bucks said, "It is imperative for the Wisconsin State Legislature to reconvene after months of inaction and take up meaningful measures to address issues of police accountability, brutality and criminal justice reform."] > >[https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29750724/inside-hectic-hours-historic-nba-boycott]
