NBA Players Wear Special Lace Collars To Honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg

LOS ANGELES, CA—NBA players are honoring the life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg this week by wearing pretty lace collars just like Notorious RBG used to wear. In a touching show of respect for the late Justice Ginsburg, and in solidarity with her progressive cause, Lebron James and the LA Lakers took to the court yesterday wearing a stunning variety of delicate white collars inspired by RBG's wardrobe.

According to several commentators on ESPN, the virtual teleconference crowd fell silent in reverent awe as the players all knelt down and chanted "RBG! RBG! RBG!"

"Yeah, RBG was an amazing person," said LeBron James after the game. "I have her biography right here and I totally read it right before the game. She was a judge. That's cool, I respect that. Judges judge things and not everyone can do that. She believed in Black Lives Matter and being on the right side of history and stuff."

Power forward Anthony Davis also expressed his happiness with the collars. "It's good to honor her today with these lacey things. Commissioner Adam Silver and President Xi Jinping told us to wear them so we did. I just took this little doily thing from under a table lamp at my mom's house and cut a hole in the middle. Easy."

Hey, dudes. Replace your shorts with lace bloomers. That would complete the ensemble.

Idiots, oh and slightly gay.

I thought for a moment this was real. I was thinking to myself “how sick are these people” when I realized it was the Babylon Bee.

Yup.

Gotta kill that guilt somehow.

Problem is, it’s not going to fly with God.

So, black players should wear collars? Alrighty, if you say so.

My wife had one before we met. Her first husband was abusive and they were married less than a year. We’ve conceived twice and have two children together and I try not to bring up abortion too much. I can only imagine how she may or may not feel about it. I know she was pro choice when I first met her but that was before having two kids and learning of planned parenthood body parts sales etc. I haven’t heard her speak of being pro choice in years but like I said, I don’t bring it up. We’re past baby making age anyway.
