NBA, union approve list of social justice messages for jerseys during restarted 2020 season: report

[shockedcanadian]

Below is the list. I guarantee it will be expanded in the future. Notice some key ones in bold, which more closely alludes to where I view this going.

Soon, it will be "socialism for all, just like our friends in China (who tell us what we can say)!"

NBA, union approve list of social justice messages for jerseys during restarted 2020 season: report

The Undefeated reported Friday the list of names include: Black Lives Matter; Say Their Names; Vote; I Can't Breathe; Justice; Peace; Equality; Freedom; Enough; Power to the People; Justice Now; Say Her Name; Sí Se Puede (Yes We Can); Liberation; See Us; Hear Us; Respect Us; Love Us; Listen; Listen to Us; Stand Up; Ally; Anti-Racist; I Am A Man; Speak Up; How Many More; Group Economics; Education Reform; and Mentor.


NBA fans noticed that some of the phrases missing from the list include anything anti-China, for example, “Free Hong Kong,” or anything to do with All Lives Matter, which is viewed by some as a phrase that downplays the Black Lives Matter movement.

I think its fair to call the NBA the Negro Basketball Association now

Why do you disagree?

 

[Rocko]

Yeah because we need politics shoved down our throats with everything we do and everywhere we go. It’s only going to get worse. It’s been like this to a lessor degree, but now they’re ramping it up, and soon it will be impossible to distinguish CNN from listening to sports commentary

I still have a perfect record during the chinese disease pandemic and Only Black Lives Matter street riots of interacting civilly with all the black people I meet in real life

But I assume that blacks like the ones posting here come out of their bubble at least occasionally

So I guess its only a matter of time before I run into one of them

..not only politics--but LIES/bullshit/falsehoods/etc

Here is a better idea.
Have the White NBA Players wear the name of a Black victim of interracial murder.
Have the Black NBA Players wear the name of a White victim of interracial murder.
The Black NBA Players will have more than twice as many names to choose from.
It will get the point accross.

Insulting your fans is bad for business

There is no need for racist name calling.

 

[Mac-7]

There is no need for racist name calling.

Negro is not racist

and even if it were - which it isnt - the black players are making their race the topic of discussion

 

[Hellbilly]

Negro is not racist

Say it to a black man.
Let me know how it works out.

 

[Mac-7]

Say it to a black man.
Let me know how it works out.

If he makes racial slurs to me Negro is the nicest thing I will call hom

not when your fans are too stupid to realize they’re being insulted

Nothing but Africans....NBA.

 

[DGS49]

The essence of these "messages" is all the same. "We "Black" people are oppressed."

And while that may arguably be true, there are at least two other things that are patently true: (a) the players are not seeking a dialog; they are wanting to lecture without dialog, and (b) the sight of these particular Black guys - millionaires all - making that case is preposterous.

A pox on all their houses. I hope the fucking league folds.

 

[Natural Citizen]

I don't even watch it, so. Pffft. Who cares...

 

[DGS49]

I refuse to support the NBA in any way until the injustice against whites is corrected. I will resume my support when 61% of the starting players are non-Hispanic white people, just like the general population.

Same for the NFL, considering running backs and wide receivers.

Fair is fair.

 

[DGS49]

So presumably if a "white" player has the message, "Listen to Us," on the back of his jersey, that's cool.

Utterly ambiguous. I like it.

 

[22lcidw]

Let the sports leagues collapse. Don't go. Don't watch. Don't buy their gear. Make them yesterday's news.
