This isn't competitive sports anymore, it's just a medium to promote any well funded message. Big pocket political donors behind the scenes are already planning ideas, and players will be selling these names for their own benefit.
Remember, just as silencing conservatives on social media was about "addressing racism", they will use the same excuse for this. Wait until the messages become "Support Planned Parenthood", "Make Peace With China" or, "Vote Democrat in November".
Will it still be about social justice? Mark this posting, you can bet it is going to happen.
Report: NBA players can replace name on jerseys with social justice statement - Sportsnet.ca
When basketball resumes, NBA players will be allowed to replace the last name on their jerseys with a statement on social justice, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
The NBPA provided players with the initial details of this plan on Saturday night, Charania reported, as the latest step in discussions between the NBA and players union regarding various ways players can advocate for social justice during the season restart.
Earlier this month, Kyrie Irving led a players-only conference call centred on unity, systemic racism and investing in communities with over 80 basketball players from the NBA and WNBA, according to multiple reports, which sparked broader conversations over how the NBA’s return-to-play plan may impact the current racial justice movement across the United States.
