2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yeah I said people will quit watching lol

Showing insensitivity to an issue like this isn't measurabable so I don't have the potential consequences. It's only a theory that it could be worse than pulling out now

Nobody cares about them pulling out which solidifies my point

its not the nba's role to show sensitivity to these types of issues.  if they do that's great but when it comes at the expense of a city, fans and one of your franchises?  na thats when ur doing too much.  this law and the nba had no relationship prior to this pr move.

i get it u guys like all the extra **** and politics.  some of us actually love the sport and don't need all the extra nonsense

Also puts in perspective what social causes they're willing to advocate for and which ones they aren't.

I don't care either way, I'm looking at it from the perspective of keeping good will with their fanbase

Not to mention the media has the power to spin things into complete hysteria. Any negative story could be blown out of proportion

Interesting how money becomes the issue in one case and not the other.
