While the Bucks players later clarified their action was indeed a strike, there have been disagreements about what to call the Bucks’ strike. Some media figures and other NBA players have referred to the strike as a “boycott,” while others have called it a “walkout”, “postponement,” or more generally a “protest.” What are the rhetorical implications for calling the strike something different? Does the discourse of striking differ from the discourse of other names used to identify the Bucks’ strike like boycott, walkout, postponement, or protest?
