In August, the league officially honored actor Chadwick Boseman with a pregame moment of silence alongside former player Clifford Robinson and college coach Lute Olson after a weekend that tragically claimed all of their lives.

On Saturday, the nation suffered another massive loss with the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at 87 years old. She wasn’t just a leader on the nation’s highest court and its second-ever sitting female member, but a champion of women’s rights and a trailblazer for gender equality long before taking her seat.

This is what happens when one starts to pander. Someone will always feel left out of having their ass kissed. I cannot stand Rachel Nichols. She is so full of herself. And her complaining proves my point.

Ginsburg was white. That’s why there was no tribute.

Was Ruth black?

If not then she gets no tribute.

What do you think BLM means?

Note to businesses that want to go woke.

You can NEVER be woke enough.

And you will go broke trying to get there.

I imagine some people tune in to a Political show on TV and may be surprised when a basketball game breaks out.

I wonder how Nichols (who is Jewish and married to the son of director Mike Nichols) felt when anti-Semitic incidents swept the NBA a while back? I don’t recall her “outrage” then.

Ruth Bader Ginzburg celebrated abortion. She openly said it would decrease the population especially among “undesirable” groups. Wonder if the predeominantly black NBA really wants to host a tribute.

And if you try, you deserve to go broke.
