The Houston Rockets likely knew that a Thursday night tweet from the team might invite some controversy. Above a photo of superstar guard James Harden wearing a face covering, they wrote, "Mask Up" - a still divisive demand in a nation where masks have been heavily politicized.
But it wasn't the message that quickly stirred up a frenzy of critics - it was the image on Harden's mask.

Hey NBA how about a mask that says China sucks. That probably wouldn't fly
The "critics" are full of shtt.
People need to chill.
I would not have even recognized that as a thin blue line mask.
My first thought was how ugly it is.
The definition of white supremacy is anything the left does not like.
“Harden’s face covering featured the “Thin Blue Line,” a pro-police symbol that critics have long claimed also stands for white supremacy and opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement,”
How DARE he express an opposing opinion! What does he think this is? A free country?
Given, expected.
Good on Harden tho.
The first official sighting this year of a MAN playing pro sports.
Somehow I don’t think asking them to “chill” will solve our problem :)
They want whites dead.
White teens and 20 and 30 somethings in some cases, want whites dead.
They are way past “chilling”
They are preparing for war.
That’s why those illegal shipments of guns and parts from China keep comning.
Statues being torn down and defaced, even Washington and Jefferson..shows the start of the next civil war has begun.
But only one side is fighting right now.
I was hoping this would lose steam.
It is in fact gaining steam.
HOORAY James Harden. Dissenting opinion is allowed in the collective?
Harden’s a pretty smart guy. He likely realizes that “Black Lives Matter” has basically become a bunch of white teens and 20-somethings running around yelling and breaking things and hoping to get on a viral video to impress their friends.
I am surprised to see this from Harden after he howtowed to the Chi-coms earlier this year. Bravo (until he recants).

This.
Went virtue signaling becomes violent.
If you look closely at the back of my car, you’ll see a thin blue line flag.
To all who scorn it, I have words to say that I cannot publish here.
