Although I have no figures to back it up it's easy for me to imagine the NBA’s fan base being more “minority” than the NFL’s.If,by chance,I'm correct in believing that then the NBA going all “Whitey Is Evil” might not hurt their bottom line as it has with the NFL.

the NBA is irrelevant...in my humble opinion....LOL

Not sure I agree with your assessment that the NBA is getting nervous the NFL is trying to catch up with them in embracing the Left.

The BLM/NBA thugs get paid much more than the BLM/NFL thugs so it will take a while for Lebron and his comrades to feel the sting but it’s coming.

There are many who look back at the civil rights movement of the 1960s and wish they were there.
Now they can pretend it is 1960s again and stick it to THE MAN. Of course they are not facing Bull Conners or George Wallace or police with dogs breaking up the demonstrations.
Instead their brave act of bravery is giving them street creds and is applauded by the establishment and the media. How brave of them.

Tell the singers to take a hike and just play the music. Then I’d tell the singer the music sounded better than their singing!

We are seeing the end of the Star Spangled Banner and the American Flag. It is from high schoolers through professional sports. Now the person invited to perform our national anthem does it.
