Still missing the point - the point of sports events is to watch teams compete and one loses and one wins and sometimes you see cool flashy moves and great plays. It is highly relatable to those who once played the same sports and creates sensations of "warm fuzzies" in the brain because you are able to reflect on historical enjoyment of something you once did with friends/teammates that was fun.

Never once was I part of the "lynch black people" squad or "behead all muslims" crew so it not only turns me off and kills my "warm fuzzies" it ruins the general immersion. You're not offending me. You're ruining my buzz.

They'll cancel themselves as I don't enjoy watching this **** and most people don't enjoy watching it. If I wanted to watch that I'd turn on CNN.

The Pacers were accused of racism when they got dangerously close to have team that was 50% white. Yes, there is blatant racism in basketball and football both at the pro and collegiate level

Haven't watched since Jordan retired. What do they think this will change? I'm sure those racists will change their minds when they see the jerseys.

Opposite effect.

It has nothing to do with the Owners wanting this - they do not - this is the Players wanting this.

I don't care what they wear. Sjw pandering is commonplace and if that's what it takes for some NBA action then that's what it takes. Besides Bron and then have been speaking out on issues for years now so there's no difference.

Are you guys surprised? A blind person could see this coming. Let them do what they want. Its not gonna change anything anyways. Nobody watches them for their stance on issues. They just want to see people dunk on people.

Ironic they preach about BLM while essentially selling themselves to work for white owners based on their physical attributes and capabilities.

Athletes, actors, musicians. Shut the **** up about politics. No one cares what your dumbass has to say. Bouncing a ball doesn't make your opinion more valid than anyone else's or give you some special insight. This is why I don't watch sports anymore, if I wanted politics I would watch the news. Same with late night "Comedy" shows. Everything is a giant 24/7 propaganda push. Also very telling that they are only allowed to express one point of view, I'm sure there will be no dissent from that point of view in these "social justice messages" on their jerseys.

Uh...who gives a fuk? They can wear fuking dresses for all I care.

Just give me dates and schedules for games, so I know which match ups are going to be shiit, and which ones I can make some money on.

Unfortunately, all of this virtuous preening is just going to make matters worse long term. I don't understand how people can't see that.

*Use half the roll to wipe after a poo crew*
*Fart in the gym and blame rotten smell on faulty ventilation crew*
*Fart at home and blame it on the dog crew*
*Watch neutron-star density poop mock me as water flushes around it and it stays put crew*
*Drive 2 minutes in the summer and back of shirt gets completely wet crew*
*Coffee black as midnight on a moonless night crew*
*Fat shame my cat on a daily basis crew*

"I'm just finna make iiit. So I can buy my Momma a house."

Then maybe get off your lazy ***** ass, start attending classes, studying, not wearing headphones while teachers are trying to tell you something and realise that maybe a free education is better than a 0.01% chance of making it in pro football. Actually don't bother because with a sub 70 IQ there's simply no point.

Not NBA relevant I know but am watching Last Chance U on Netflix (about JCU 'student' athletes) and I can't take it anymore.

Stopped watching years ago

I assume they have to be approved by a violent mob to be acceptable or else an arena may get burnt down

LeBron's an actual ****ing autist. Legit 65 IQ, listening to his opinion on anything other than basketball is pointless

Good thing i dont watch sports

-Some people say good things come to those who wait, truth is, good things come to those who work..... who work later.....who work harder...... who are willing to go further than anyone else to get them. If you're waiting for good things to come to you, you'll be waiting for a pretty long time.
