Rachel Nichols: The NBA has certainly been the most visible billion-dollar organization championing social justice and civil rights. As you noted in your press conference the other day, though, that has not been universally popular. How committed are you to being that going forward?
Adam Silver: We’re completely committed to standing for social justice and racial equality and that’s been the case going back decades. It’s part of the DNA of this league. How it gets manifested is something we’re gonna have to sit down with the players and discuss for next season.

They need to go bankrupt.
If they ever state that they will stop disrespecting the flagcc v and our country, and man it, and apologize then get minimally read-up on the constitution the trample, and then act tge part. For as long as they’ve been trampling then they can talk about viewership. That’s all
The virus is spreading. Liberalism is a virus that wrecks everything in its path. The NFL and now the NBA.
"Learn to code"
finally admitting the obvious
but the NBA still doesn’t get it
their few known stars like LeBron are highly unlikeable... plus, the quality of the games have been very poor and boring (no defense, poor shooting)
Very appropriate cartoon.
Too little, too late.
Completely committed enough to reduce the fraction of black players to 12%? Come on, put some skin in the game. Do it!
