Good idea.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Arent their games played after the polls close?

Republicans are terrified of people being able to vote.

What does that tell you?

It tells most people that Republicans know they can't win unless they cheat.

 

[Independent thinker]

Arent their games played after the polls close?

I was thinking the same thing. What a bunch of idiots.

Arent their games played after the polls close?

Games are taking place on the East Coast while the West coast is still voting.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Good idea.

I agree.

That people have to find a reason to attack it shows it is a good idea

Arent their games played after the polls close?

So that the workers/players no need to prepare for the game and can vote, I think it is a stupid idea anyway. A lot of workers are "no work, no paid"

Three reasons it makes sense:

1. Good idea to promote voting
2. Bet you a big reason is in today's political climate the eyeballs are on the news that day and not basketball
3. Will make conservatives mad

 

[WTH_Progs?]

Democrat supporters are idiots right.

The NBA is stating the Democrats have their imbecilic base of course, easy sells. If an NBA game is on TV they're distracted from voting because they're lazy as fuck and irresponsible.

Critical thought dictates well shit, their vote is useless to society. Yet Democrats declare halleluiah, their vote is important because they'll surely vote Democrat. After all, they're the fucks on the TV and internet all day pitching lies, distractions and so on.
