And There It Is… NBA Agrees to Continue Playoffs But Only If Ads During Games Promote Leftist Politics and Civic Engagement
Gateway Pundit ^ | 08/29/2020 | Jim Hoft

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

The players who are doing this better hope they already got theirs because the players who follow them are not going to be making as much money.

Many people will turn the game off and never watch again.

Professional sports is being destroyed.

Might as well. LeBron James earned 30 million dollars a year just because he can out a ball in a hoop. 90% decline in his salary would result in 3 million dollars. Still a lot.

Yep. Money talks loudest and I bet they get to a point where they will immediately fire anyone who kneels, but as far as I’m concerned it’s too late. Pro athletes were already getting on my nerves before all this, with the attitudes and the thugs and the disgusting elitism where they act like the fans don’t even exist. F them.

Is the NBA not aware that their ratings are down?

If so, why are they insisting on doing something that will lower their ratings even more.

Sit back in the comfort of knowing they’ll all be broke 5 years after leaving the league.

That’s right for LeBron. Let’s see how much money the Class of ‘22 will be able to earn when they turn pro.

How many times have we been told at our workplaces to keep your personal issues at home? You’re at work to work. Simple premise. You would think the idiots in the NBA, NFL, MLB and even the NHL would follow that too. We know there are some players in those leagues who know this is a disaster for them, but can’t say anything because of the prevailing political climate.

No doubt the announcers will be reading SJW political statements in game, too. It will be impossible to avoid. I expect all televised sports will do that in the run up to November.

“I hope all professional sports die forever.”

Agree. Die, die, die.
And die again.
Rinse, repeat.
Eff them and the horse they rode in on.

Anyone interested in buying an expensive Italian sports car should wait a few weeks.

Ditto for Hollywood, and all other forms of entertainment.

Good point. A lot of high end cars, boats and houses are about to come available. Maybe at a discount price.
