This unfolding NBA players boycott of playoff games to protest for justice is NOT just a sports story. It’s a huge cultural inflection point.

It would be hypocritical and feckless for the NBA to talk about Black Lives Matter and paint it on their courts and wear it on their pregame shirts and then do nothing when they see yet another cop shoot a Black man in the back.

You want to “protect a gas station”? You want peace? Get police officers to stop detaining Black citizens by pumping bullets into them. And if you know a better way to do that than de-funding police forces, we’re all ears.

Regarding who Ireland could nominate as new Commissioner, according to well-placed analysis govt has two choices.
1) Nominate a high profile politician, in which case Ireland will lose trade portfolio. 2) Choose someone with a more technical background, who could keep the brief.
