Never ceases to amaze me how arrogant these sports moguls are. They think they have us sports fans over a barrel and that we “need” their services. Sorry, chumps, you just lost another sports fan to the competition. I’ll definitely be getting back into hockey now.
I think this is absolutely rich coming from an organization dominated by a certain stripe from the ‘hood, who tend to absolutely HATE the other Special People.
The NBA has had ESPN pushing several notions virtually nonstop for about the last five years. To wit:
1) People care about basketball/NBA as much as they care about football/NFL.
2) People care about players, contracts, coaches, etc.
3) We should be interested in players’ ‘personalities’ despite their nearly homogeneous backgrounds and demeanors. These are individuals who have spent half their lives or more in gymnasiums. Their openly stated - and NBA-endorsed - ambition is to spend as little time on a college campus as possible...preferably none at all.
The biggest hypocrisy of the league, its players and its media outlets is this: black people ie 90% of the league rosters are among the most opposed to and disapproving of gays, lesbians and transsexuals. The word f*ggot is a regular insult on and off the court, even if the odd player is punished for using it. Rap lyrics, cultural references and social norms are decidedly anti-gay.
And, none of the foregoing take into account the violence, sexual assaults and drug use that are frequent newsmakers in the league.
Despite all this, the NBA believes it is some sort of moral authority and that it is entitled to oppose or even overturn the expressed will of the people via a constitutionally elected legislature and governor and via a duly-passed law. Its arrogant PC commissioner even spoke openly of ‘working behind the scenes to change the law’ as if he had some special privilege to do so.
What, you don’t think Dennis Rodman should shower in the girls locker room?
Bigot!!

Many good people of Charlotte are probably thrilled they won't have to put up with the NBA and their thug supporters.
I think it was Charlotte that had a big basketball event a few years ago and the local restaurants began attaching a 15% service charge to all the checks. People were running out on their bills and if they did pay they didn't tip. The restaurants got sued for discrimination! Apparently certain groups felt they were being targeted.
Charlotte should be happy the thugs won't be going to their city.
Yeah, but Blacks are big fans, and everyone knows that Blacks are all down with cross-dressing. The NBA has to accommodate the perverts to show that they aren't "uncle toms."
Were they mad that there weren’t any pink or glittery uniforms? ;)
I saw a man pretending to be female in Charlotte this week when I took my daughter to her psychiatrist appointment. I noticed his long, pink hair and feminine accessories when he came out of the men’s bathroom. The staff at the mental health facility referred to him as “him.”
I believe this was the first time I’ve seen a transformer in real life.
Wasn’t that the tournament for basketball teams from Historically Black Colleges and Universities? I don’t remember the league’s acronym, but we were uptown for something during that time period.
When is affirmative-action finally going to apply to the NBA? The NBA’s lack of diversity is an embarrassment to the world.
Well at least he went to the men’s bathroom.
I think you're right. It probably was that tournament. And wasn't the Ritz Carleton charged with discrimination?
There also were problems at the upscale mall. The stores 'lost' more money than they made.
