    That's just what they do. NFL same thing.

    If you don't like it, you're racist.

    I've been saying for years that the real money in television will come along when they establish shows along the lines of "The Purge" movie. That's not cynical, it's a fact of human nature. Indulge it and get rich.

    Oh, they're certainly within their rights. Doesn't mean it's good for business, or that I have to watch it.
    I wouldn't mind if they were just promoting equality or whatever, but it's come much more to light recently what BLM is really about, and I will play no part in promoting it.

    That’s probably a goal. Next they will want to expunge the great accomplishments of past white players.

    What I don't like about the NBA is they have made it impossible to defend, and all of the games are nothing more that a shooting contest, that is not basketball.

    So I won't likely see it anyway.
    I agree 100%.

    NBA agrees to list of social justice messages on jerseys: Report.....


    The National Basketball Association will allow players to inscribe social justice messages on top of their jersey numbers.

    A source told ESPN that the league reached a deal with the National Basketball Players Association, a union, that would allow team players to use messages of activism on their jerseys after July 30.


    Among the messages reportedly allowed include: "Black Lives Matter," "Say Their Names," "Vote," "I Can't Breathe," "Power to the People," and others. Players are not required to participate upon the start of the season, and they can opt out of using their jerseys for activism. Should a player not opt to include a phrase, the person's last name will appear above the jersey number instead.


    The messages will be displayed for the first four days of games.....snip~

    There are those Social Justice messages.
