Maybe the NBA Commissioner got woked between the eyes

Maybe the NBA commissioner got "woked" between the eyes

Maybe the advertisers are texting NBA commissioner Adam Silver about the lousy ratings. Or maybe Mr. Silver finds Lebron James as obnoxious as the rest of us.

One way or another, the "social justice" won't be back next season, according to Mr. 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. I would say, in terms of the messages you see on the court and our jerseys, this was an extraordinary moment in time when we began these discussions with the players and what we all lived through this summer. My sense is there’ll be somewhat a return to normalcy, that those messages will largely be left to be delivered off the floor.

You dug the hole, stay in it!

P. S. Nobody is going to be throwing dirt in the hole
so that you can climb out.
You had your run and it looks to be over.

Yeah, but at least they should let the girls in. Are you saying the NBA is racist AND sexist?

Shouldn’t the NBA look like America?

David Stern was a great Commissioner. He would not have tolerated the conduct of today’s NBA players.

Also, does anyone think that Michael Jordan, Larry Birds, or some other former stars would have allowed the crybabies in the NBA act like this?
