Adam Silver is actually a dog shite commissioner.

The only "good" thing hes done is ban Donald Sterling, but even that was a really obvious move.

How the frick did woke come to mean falling in line with modern sjw nonsense? There's nothing fricking enlightened about going with the media flow.

It's like red pilled according to reddit means something about beta guys who aren't scared of girls anymore or some shite

Terms get co opted

Well it for damn sure ain't "doubling" the size of the talent pool, numbnuts

Why do you think striving for 50% female officials is a good thing?

The corporate world isn’t plastered across mass media. Sorry, the NBA, NFL, etc play by different rules than the average Joe.

I think His point is that he has no idea why it isn’t 50-50

Nothing about men makes them better basketball officials.

Coaches I think there Is an arguement that the men’s game is different and playing it helps. As well as relating to players.

Its not like women havent been given their space to create in their image. Why does it always have to be a male dominated movie/place/sport that women want to take over?


Statistics say that 77% of teachers are women. Considering the rise in sex crimes in that field, maybe we need more men.

How about the ballet? We need more men! Wait...you mean there aren’t tons of men wanting to do these things? Well shite...let’s create them and be pioneers!

Nursing needs more males, right?

This is bullshite. Just hire the best qualified people and leave it at that.

I have no problems with allowing more women to have opportunities to get into refereeing or even coaching. Qualified women should be given consideration for these positions.

Trying to force women into these positions for a quota to have 50-50 is an absolutely terrible idea. Women referees are not a problem, and I see no reason as to why they could not do the job well. On the other hand I just can't see a woman coach being successful. Sure, there are women out there who knows the game just as well as men. The issue is 50% of coaching is gaining and commanding respect of your team. I just don't see that happening.
