NBA Agent Says BLM Was ‘Horrible’ For League
Game 7 ^ | October 21, 2020 | Anthony Amador

The NBA season has come and gone, but certain decisions from this past year are continuing to be relitigated in league circles. This past week, one agent came out of the woodwork and publicly blasted all parties involved for the social justice messaging that took place over the past few months.

This past week, The Athletic published results from a survey it conducted with 20 agents around the NBA. While they discussed a number of topics, what stood out most was one anonymous agent’s rant about the impact of Black Lives Matter (BLM) messaging on the league as a whole.

“They initially did a great job by putting the bubble together and they completely s*** the bed with all this nonsense,” he said.

MLB players have really put their $$ where their mouths are. When the season ticket packages go out, we fans will finally be able to show them what we think of their kneeling and lecturing. Trevor Bauer, the top free agent next year, would loose tens of millions on a multi year deal, millions on a one year contract.

Between blacks aborting their children, and black on black homicides and mass criminal behavior — just as we are rightfully now seeing with the destruction of left wing politicized sports by the anti-American/anti-God elites (and China) who own them — hopefully the market for absolute immorality, evil, violence elevating rap “entertainers” will all go away.

They aren’t going to do that over there. They’re explicitly forbidden from being political about anything.

Sure, they’re probably allowed to bash the United States a little bit. That’s the only politics they’re allowed to express.

No!
You mean preaching at people that they have to support rioting looting burning thugs is bad for business?

So, now the NBA admits to 30% decline, causes me to speculate as to what the real number is. We know that physical attendance at games is only 25% of normal.

Fantastic. The players should learn to say “spare some change?”
They’ll all be broke in 5 years; retired or not.
They’ll have money until the tv contracts expire. After that won’t be much.

What is the “NBA”?

It's an acronym that was quite popular many years ago, that's not commonly used today. On the rare occasions when it is used, it's most often in conjunction with other little-known acronyms; for example:

'The NBA can FOADIAF!'

I’m with you Mr. Wolfe.
But I want it to continue to fail until bankruptcy.

Seems to be the only way these leftist types can be dealt with - complete defunding and harsh public denunciation of their beliefs.

The NBA needs to full out woke.

Rename the teams with their political slogans.

Charge White fans 10X what they charge blacks.

ONLY play in black majority cities.

Go for it.
