I bet Labum wants to sit out the anthem too but instead would rather collect his endorsements. Labum is probably still mad about his stupid campaign rally for his failed candidate Hillary.

Advertisers who use NBA players to push their products will likely be discussing new strategies, new endorsers next week.

We learned the legal phrase "obiter dicta" (or "obiter dictum") back in school.

It means "things said in passing."

It's the inessential stuff a judge says that isn't the legal essence of the ruling.

If a politician tweets a lot of irrelevant stuff, people are going to take exception to what he or she says for all kinds of reasons.

If the president says "Pistachio ice cream is for creeps," lovers of pistachio will call him names back.

That's why politicians usually exercise tight control over their words and actions.

Here is State Farm’s twitter feed.

People can let State Farm know how they feel about their pitch man Chris Paul threatening to beat the President of the United States if he criticizes pampered black professional athletes to their face.

Looks like Trump is upping the “class” of White House invitees to the next level. His Arrogance invited every queer, freak, pervert, drug addict, criminal, thief, and every other bottom feeder to the White House.

I stopped when Latrell Sprewell was allowed to choke his white coach with literal impunity simply because he was black.

The team began the ‘fight’ because they or some of their members decided that they would insult the president because he was not of their personal political persuasion.
