And There It Is… NBA Agrees to Continue Playoffs But Only If Ads During Games Promote Leftist Politics and Civic Engagement

The NBA and the NBA Players Asssociation agreed to continue playoff this weekend but only if ads during the games promote leftist politics and civic engagement.

So now you can get lectures on Black Lives Matter during breaks in the game.

Do any of these players know anything about economics?

The NBA and the NBPA agreed to resume the playoffs on Saturday with the following commitments:
✅ The establishment of a social justice coalition
✅ The conversion of team arenas into voting locations
✅ Ads during games to promote civic engagementhttps://t.co/lwoYNQNg33

I don’t know about others, I can live without watching professional basketball. Not the end of the world in the grand scheme of things- we all get used to the change after a bit. Find new hobbies and things to do.

I’m happy to see the NBA as the canary in the coal mine. Maybe they’ll crash before the NFL is similarly consumed .

If the advertisement provision lasts, the owners will resist, lose money, cost the players lots of money now and in the future. (which is OK with me, it’s their money.)

A lesson will be learned eventually; Politics kills sports. How long it takes , ?

Politics is destroying America’s # 1 or # 2 brand—college football—with liberal governors and university presidents in the BIG10 reveling that they’ve canceled the ‘20 season. Liberal govs in PA, MI, IL, WI are at odds with all the coaches and players who want to play.

Legal action has them reconsidering, and realizing they’ve made a mistake, but it’s clear its politically motivated to infuriate fans and then shove the blame onto DjT. The liberal mucky-mucks at west coast PAC 12 colleges have genuflected to the Big10’s wishes.

It’s backfiring, like most liberal strategies backfire.

The left has pretty much destroyed everything in America.

I knew they had eyes on sports for years. I am living without and feel fine. I actually hate these fidiots.

RE:Professional sports is being destroyed.

So is women’s sports. How many women now have to compete with transgendered MEN who insist they are women?

Heck, even beauty contests are now including transgenders in their contests!

I’m a sports junkie and I didn’t notice.

Instead of watching sports, let’s go hiking and then read books!

Illegal strikers don’t usually have their demands met. The exception is some silly little things to help them keep face. Since the Chinese are involved, I guess that is important.

The reason for this? Here you go. They are in panic mode:

The latest Zogby Poll just shared with Secrets had Trump’s approval at 52%. “The president has recorded his best job approval rating on record,” said pollster Jonathan Zogby. What’s more, his approval rating among minorities was solid and, in the case of African Americans, shockingly high. Zogby said 36% of blacks approve of the president, as do 37% of Hispanics and 35% of Asians.

The only wokesters willing to sponsor the NBA is the DNC... I believe that the NBA already doesn’t have the add buys to pay to broadcast. This most likely the case for their boycott.
