re: Phil Jackson says the NBA is too concerned with social issues, doesn't watch NBA any more

It appears that one of the smartest men to ever be associated with the NBA would be in disagreement with you.

Smart is always a relative term. On a personal level, Jackson lost me years ago on with his Zen Master foolery. That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the Lakers. And that is the difference between having fun and getting involved in a lot of social/political nonsense.

Not many here are going to quit mixing politics with sports as long as they stay on social media. For most of these clown comments, it's only because politics is more important to them than the NBA. Big Deal. For a ton of people, politics is a sport. They eat it, breathe it, and sleep it. And then when your favorite crap spreader says something it gets bantered around on social media sites, yes, just like this one, and the thread starts sounding like a roundtable debate on CNN or FOX News.

Fans can't keep politics out of their life. They love misery and then want to share it with all those who simply love sports. That obviously includes the Zen Master.
