so with all game 5s being boycotted in the NBA finals, management has officially lost control. It appears they are just terrified of a negative reaction from the media if such rediculousness is not put up with. I can imagine the reaction of my employer if i stated i would not be into work because of a protest etc, i think he would tell me to protest all i want in the unemployment line.

I love sports and i love politics. but i do not like the two of them together. Sports ( and movies, theatre, television etc) should be a way to get away from every day problems and concerns, not get constantly reminded of them. i also dont need to have athletes prosthelytizing to me before, during or after games. I really dont care their positions on politics, religion, global warming or anything else other than the game they are playing. I think these guys are getting a little puffed up or something. their job is to provide entertainment. when they cease to do that, are they still necessary? please guys, shut up and dribble.

    i know what you are saying. i was actually enjoying watching the C's play and trying to overlook the foolish slogans printed on jerseys and courts. i really think this is my final straw though. it is really a narcissistic and asinine act.

    As someone who absolutely loves the sport of basketball, I had to stop watching the NBA a long time ago.

    For me, the NBA is to basketball what the WWE is to wrestling - a caricature of a wonderful sport, at this point.

    Curious about the rare, mysterious and beautiful 1951 Wheaties Premium Photos?

    I can envision a bumper sticker that may be produced sometime down the road if the mixture of sports and politics turns out to be a financial disaster for professional sports leagues:

    "THE MORE U R WOKE.........................,
    THE MORE LIKELY U WILL BE BROKE"

    Or to say it another way; "WOKE = BROKE"
