Why isn’t the ethnic percentages of the league forced to match the percentages for society. Why aren’t there any disabled players? Why no drag queen players in high heels?
Too late asswipe. Once an anti American Marxist SOB, always an anti American Marxist SOB!
They were playing to show the world we were the best bball players on the planet.
Too bad the league has lost it since then.
The NBA has achieved a major Equality milestone.
NBA ratings now equal WNBA ratings.
Why should they stop now and change to racist? The policy was good this year they should continue. And they should have an NBA holiday for Xi jinping’s birthday.
They actually believe they can fix it now...
That is not what he said.
He said the social justice crap will take place OFF the court.
Which means people who watch/attend will still be supporting BLM.
Nate Silver is a weasel, and he looks like one, too.
Too late.
Too little too late. To hell with them.
I want them to condemn BLM and Antifa and admit they are communist terrorist ORGANIZATIONS, not just ideas.
And I want personal apologies from each player and staff who ever took a knee and any who do not be fired.
And anything else I can think of by next season.
If all the pro leagues had just keep the message off the floor or field I would not have cared.
Now it’s too late.
Like I care.
How about the BASKETBALL league sits down and talks about BASKETBALL instead of ‘social justice’, and how you are just entertainment- and people pay you to play BASKETBALL for millions of dollars.
And forget about politics and just give the paying customers BASKETBALL.
TV ratings comparable to an overnight test pattern will “woke” even the most obtuse, ignorant sports executive.
“Mr. Silver: We’re completely committed to standing for social justice and racial equality...”
Are you equally committed to standing for the flag?
Says the head of the league that is 95% black. If you are so committed to racial equality then get back to me when the league is 12% black.
I’ll be curious if the younger generations hang onto the NBA, although 45% of the TV audience is black (from a few years ago). Not sure about the arena audience make-up going forward. It would be great for white Americans to step away from the NBA and let black Americans and the Chinese pay for the product. Hispanics have never really supported the NBA in large numbers.
Scum.
Never. Again.
Why wait?
Why not end the BLM propaganda now, today, this very minute?
The Africanization of the NBA is antiAmerican to the core.
Maybe they’re learning who their fans are- and it’s not the woke millennials that are planting BLM signs in their front yards. The NBA was always a niche league, and that niche just got a lot smaller.
