The Warriors arrived in Minnesota on Friday and are scheduled to play two games against the Wolves, including one on Monday night. The two teams originally were scheduled to be off on Sunday between the two games.

Members of the Timberwolves organization recommended to the league that the game not be played, team sources told The Athletic, to give everyone time to process the events and better prepare any extra security measures that may need to be put in place in anticipation of further demonstrations in the streets of Minneapolis. League officials agreed and decided to move the game to Sunday at 4:30 p.m. CT at Target Center.

Who cares? I’m a huge soccer fan and I’ve waited 30+ years of my life to finally host the World Cup. FIFA cozying up to Trump was the straw that broke the camels back for me. Boycott it all

That was the straw that broke the back for you?

Not the 2010 South African bribery scandal, the 2016 Copa America bribery scandal, the 2022 Qatar bribery allegations, or the dozen of other scandals fifa has? Like Qatar was literally using slave labor just 4 years ago to build their World Cup venues that resulted in the death of multiple people. Cozying up to Trump is one of the more tame things they’ve done lol.

SmokinSkinWagon | Timberwolves

I mean…yes. Don’t minimize what this Trump administration is doing to the world. I didn’t attend any of the world cups you listed. I did go to the 2014 one. I’m officially sick of FIFA’s corruption and I’m sick to fucking death of Trump.

Billions_Of_Lies | Nuggets Bandwagon

Siding with this administration is the worst thing FIFA has ever done. Qatar was no where close to this disgusting. America is a facist state, while Qatar has become a progressive country. The use of slaves is an outright lie, those were migrant workers that were being provided jobs.

It worked in Qatar and they were working people literally to death. In the end, the sad truth is that nobody really cares. I have a feeling 99% of the people who are complaining about ICE on here (rightly so, don’t get me wrong) are the same who complained about the conditions in Qatar and watched the WC when it was there, and when it was in Russia. And will watch it in the U.S., too.

I appreciate this from the Timberwolves but could’ve done without the mention of extra security measures. Even if it’s true our feeling is we’ve been under attack, our neighbors have been murdered, and then we have to fight against the federal government lying through their teeth and calling us all hysterical while we are literally grieving.

In any case I appreciate they did something and mention of processing. Hope it gets some people to look who haven’t yet.
