TrulyTimes: NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced Tuesday that when the league returns to play next season, Black Lives Matter messages will likely not be displayed on the court or on players’ jerseys as they have been this season.
Silver made the remarks during an interview with ESPN’s Rachel Nichols ahead of Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Florida. During the interview, he said that despite the league being “completely committed to standing for social justice and racial equality,” how exactly that commitment is manifested is “something we’re gonna have to sit down with the players and discuss.”
“I would say, in terms of the messages you see on the court and our jerseys, this was an extraordinary moment in time when we began these discussions with the players and what we all lived through this summer,” Silver continued. “My sense is there’ll be somewhat a return to normalcy — that those messages will largely be left to be delivered off the floor.” more
What’s the NBA, Numerous Black A-holes?
The NTBA (national thug bassetball assoc.) should’ve never done it in the first place. Who gives a rats rear end about them anymore, I sure as hell don’t.
I read…next season, assuming TRUMP is not President.
Good luck with that.
Mostly peaceful arena fires will boost the ratings.
Forget pulling the messages…just pull the NBA. No one will miss it.
Too late, assholes.
Too late, the damage done can only be undone with Commie Lebron and other players retiring.
DEFUND LEBRON.
RETIRE LEBRON.
RETIRE 23
send the NBA packing off to their masters in China … they’ll love it there
as my grandma Bessie used to say “good riddance to bad rubbish”
How ’bout: “End Racism. Hire Whites”
white fan$ matter.
Short of LeBron, Chris Paul, and other overpaid little shit weasels publicly apologizing- I don’t see myself watching any NBA games.
The only team I was watching, the rockets, got rid of Mike Dantoni, and Westbrook probably isn’t gonna return… James Harden is overrated.
And Steve Nash is coaching an east coast team… so I have no urge to watch at all.
2 years is what I give Pro-Sports before they start laying off players for lack of Ticket and Merchandise sells! And I don’t care when of if they decided to drop their Fascist Propaganda.. Sports in general can go to hell!
“At this point, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE ?!!”
who is that? Dr. Evil’s dad? Jeff Bezo’s body-double?
whomever it is … looks like he stays in his coffin too much
@ Dan Ryan Galt
” Numerous Black A-holes?”
With bad tattoos.
The meeting with the players should be short & direct presentation of a list of limited options:
Cut the BLM BS, or cut your pay. Your choice.
You might be facing a preview of the second option because it may already be required to cut you pay. Due to the damage you inflicted this season. Choose carefully.
@ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ–I think he is James Carville’s twin.
No Basketball Anymore who cares it’s a dumb sport.
Next season? I think the bankruptcy court will be determining if there is a next season.
I miss the old REAL basketball of the 70s.
numerous ba’s, with others mixed in. gotta have de die-versity, doan chu know
