The NBA is dead set on alienating much of their fan base. SJW’s of the world unite!
Here is the list of approved messages that players can put on their jerseys when the NBA resumes.
Players will be allowed a first and second choice, ESPN reported. If a player chooses not to use a word or phrase from the approved list, their last name will be displayed as usual.
The messages will be displayed for the first four nights of resumed play. After those games, a player can replace the approved word or phrase with their last name. However, if they want to continue displaying the social justice message, their name will be placed below their number.
“The league and the players are uniquely positioned to have a direct impact on combating systemic racism in our country, and we are committed to collective action to build a more equal and just society,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said. “A shared goal of our season restart will be to use our platform in Orlando to bring attention to these important issues of social justice.”
The NBA will also paint “Black Lives Matter” on the hardwood playing floor when games resume July 30.
Since they include Barack Obama’s slogan of Yes We Can, shouldn’t they also include Make America Great Again? How about Liberate Hong Kong?
Do the dopes in charge of the NBA really think that people just aren’t getting enough politics in their life already? Do they think people watch basketball to get inundated with more political and social justice messages? People are tired of all of this and would like an ESCAPE. Whichever sports league figures this out…clearly not the NFL or NBA…will thrive. America’s pastime seems to be our last refuge. They are the least political and most focused on their actual product: baseball.
Here’s to hoping the league’s ratings and attendance crash and burn.
The NBA has been poisoned with Social Justice.
It’s no longer about the sport, it’s all about politics for these athletes.
They don’t deserve our support and money.
Remember every time you turn on a NBA game or buy a NBA jersey, you are supporting anti-American athletes.

The government-sanctioned human rights abuses in China are 10 times worse than anything that is wrong in our American system, yet the NBA is going all out for social justice in America while continuing to cozy up with China. What blatant, unapologetic, greed-based hypocrisy.
