The NBA is planning on painting "Black Lives Matter" on courts when the season restarts in late July, ESPN reported Monday. The league and the players' union, the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA), reportedly agreed on highlighting the movement at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando.
The death of George Floyd has pushed Black Lives Matter to the forefront, inspiring protests that included some current players. As NBA leadership and its players were in discussions to return playing, some stars brought up the possibility of not playing to retain the focus on social justice issues. Now, according to the report, the NBA will use the hardwood to keep the spotlight on the movement.
...and the NBA is dead. This is a no brainer.
and just a reminder...dumbass ja morant is apologizing for retweeting a meme that denigrated police
of course, we know he meant it
Pathetic! But this must be the price the white owners and overseers have to pay to keep their multi-millionaire black players on the NBA plantation.
If they get real political only 13% of the population will watch.
1. So, a violent Marxist-anarchist, anti-Semitic, hate-America group will have its name painted on sides of the NBA basketball courts. And the multi-millionaire players and billionaire owners — hypocrites and frauds — expect the rest of us to pay for this?— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) June 30, 2020
2. I certainly hope we still have the gumption to tell these pathetic, phony revolutionaries, who milk this country for everything it’s worth while condemning it, go to hell and we, the people, stop subsidizing their extravagant lifestyles.https://t.co/I6KjWIvymz— Mark R.

It was better before 2000. There is no Defence today, and that is what I liked about Basketball.
Adam Silver, all the white league executives, coaches, etc need to resign TODAY and DEMAND that a black person takes their jobs!! What’s that commissioner? You’re not THAT down with the struggle are you!!
What’s an NBA?
James Nesmith called and said how upset he was at this cultural appropriation by NBA players.
I’m really dreading the call from Thomas Edison.
“Pro Basketball died when MJ retired.”
So true!
NBA will also replace the Star-Spangled Banner with the Chinese national anthem followed by “Cop Killah”.
Because they're not crackers. Most are Canadians. They could have "Canuck Lives Matter" painted instead.
Just another reason I will not be watching
Sane Americans! BOYCOTT EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TERRORIST COUP
Painting Black Lives MatterTM on the basketball courts is just less obvious than painting the flag of Communist China there.

Rodman was a sight to watch back in the day.
I hope they lose half their viewers. An annual party that I have attended for many years had NFL football until Colin Kancer took a knee. We switched to college games the past few years (the host and most attendees are disgusted by protests against our flag), and we were supposed to switch to the NBA starting next year to get pro sports. Chances are that won’t be happening.
Let me know how it goes, because I won’t be watching to see it. NFL either.
Why not paint “Every child deserves a father” on the court?
