THIS IS PUBLIC. MIGHT AS WELL POST IT:
“The game of basketball is grounded in long established principles of inclusion and mutual respect. We will continue to ensure that all fans, players and employees feel welcome at all NBA and WNBA events in Indiana and elsewhere.
The Indiana Pacers, Indiana Fever and Bankers Life Fieldhouse have the strongest possible commitment to inclusion and non-discrimination on any basis. Everyone is always welcome at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. That has always been the policy from the very beginning of the Simon familys involvement and it always will be.
Except Christians, of course. Their beliefs and freedoms are NOT welcomed.
Great.
That’s their decision. So be it.
Now get off your stupid hypocritical high horses and let people live their lives with the associations THEY approve of, not yours.
And oh, btw . .take a course in Constitutional Law and learn something
African-Americans comprised 76.3 percent of all NBA players. Eighty-one percent of players were players of color. African-American head coaches represented 43.3 percent of all NBA head coaches.
Yet are only 12% of the population.
Perhaps they should be issued racial quotas.
Sports organizations all all levels should stick to their particular sport and stay completely the hell away from politics.
No one gives a crap about how many LGBTs are participating in competetive sports. Observers just want to see how well the participants perform in their chosen sport.
Decades ago, people didn’t make a big deal about Natrilova and Billy Jean being gay in pro tennis because they were top performers. Same has been true in other sports for many years regarding gays.
so, the three queers and five dykes that sometimes attend can continue to do so
worship on the court is of tall black men
