NBA commissioner Adam Silver sent an email to NBA corporate offices worldwide shortly after the presidential election results to reiterate to NBA employees that the league's core values and commitment to equality and diversity haven't changed, sources told ESPN. Sources said that Silver's email was not in any way making a statement about the election results. In the email, Silver assured NBA employees that the league and its players will continue to work in communities to try to find a way to improve lives with the understanding that the nation had just emerged divided from a contentious election, according to sources.

Fixed it.
This may be the last time Silver can do this. Once Trump is officially President, Silver might be a be more suspect trying to promote this.
What’s the NBA? Haven’t watched a game since the ‘80s.
I've never heard of this bozo but it's obvious to me that the boy hasn't been paying much attention to the real world for the past 8 years. America has been divided since the Obama regime came to power.
Every patriotic American should boycott all major-league sports until this leftist, racist, PC crap ends. See how well they do handling losing 50% or more of their fans.
I don’t know one single person who watches the NBA.
March Madness, now THAT’s a different story!
No audience.....No TV contracts.....no league/team money.....
No exorbitant salaries.....no NBA
What? Do they illegal aliens playing in the NBA?
The NBA is a model of diversity. PC acceptable diversity.
These sports leagues need to be anti-gun, because it seems the only thing they can do with a gun is shoot themselves in the foot.
There are no more hollow, meaningless words than these yet a huge swath of people seem to think they are profound, even magical.
An individual or group committed to equality...in a competitive sport? What does this mean? All games should end in ties? The average height of teams' players must match? Nobody can practice 5 mins more than the next?
'Diversity' was always vacuous since it's a fancy name for random persons, places, things, or events. Choosing one of each color crayon or one of each flavor of ice cream is not diversity, it's simply a conscious choice of superficially different or contrasting items.
The NBA needs diversity. They need short white women on those teams!
Two coaches
Popovich and Gundy have already come out and denounced Trump
I hope the whole league folds
I’m with you. . .NBA, NFL, etc. Definitely not icons of American values. I just can’t see plopping down any money to watch these games or buy their paraphernalia.
Really? That’s what you want, or think will happen? President Trump squashing free speech? Nonsense. Won’t happen and shouldn’t. .
Hi-Yo Silver was quick to condemn the values of Christians in North Carolina who believe in keeping men out of women’s bathrooms.
[[commitment to equality and diversity]]
Diversity and equality are opposite
