The NBA plans to stop the social justice messages starting next season, and commissioner Adam Silver has admitted he understands why fans are so upset.

quote:

“I would say, in terms of the messages you see on the court and the jerseys, this was an extraordinary moment in time when we began these discussions with the players and what we all lived through this summer. My sense is there’ll be somewhat a return to normalcy, that those messages will largely be left to be delivered off the floor. And, I understand those people who are saying, ‘I’m on your side, but I want to watch a basketball game,” said Silver.

Already lost me.
Maybe in a few years I'd give them another chance?

Translation: We have no true principles, and all of our feigned concern and outrage over racial injustice was a big ruse to provide PR cover for our organization while it was exploding in the news and social media.

Not watching until the nba is under new management, and even then probably won't watch. Screw silver and the nba. Too late.

I'm done with them for at least the foreseeable future. I have not watched an NBA game since the 2018 Finals and don't plan on starting up again soon. Regardless of what Silver says here, he and the players in that league have shown who they are.

Silver needs to be replaced ASAP. Besides all of the SJW bullshite, they allow an active player to run an agency, and their media shills for all of their best players to get to a certain few markets. Coaches, GMs, and owners are powerless in that league; it is run by a bunch of barely literate morons who couldn't spell GED, much less pass the test to get one.

Yeah.. they aren't "on your side".

But he knows that already.
