Protest and pay! NBA sends memo to all 30 teams warning players they MUST stand for national anthem or face discipline - but says they may give a pregame 'message of unity' if they wish
2017-09-30
[DailyMail] Thank goodness someone is learning from the NFL experience.
  • The National Basketball Association sent a memo late Friday to all 30 teams

  • The league told players to stand for the national anthem 'with no exceptions'

  • Memo suggests teams make an effort in their first home game to address the current political climate by having players and coaches address their fans

#4  the NBA is a bunch of gangsta wannabee's anyway, not worth the time to watch. Go Gonzaga!

#3  Adam Silver (NBA commissioner) is a bigger squish than Goodell is. This surprises me. He must have seen the projected TV ratings had players gone through with their 'protests'.

#2  NBA should do the right thing and make a fund to help transition gang members into honest careers or something. Really help the problem at its source. Do that and the 'message of unity' will go down better.

#1  ...And I suspect the leagues' legal associates will be reviewing the 'messages of unity' to insure they are sufficiently vague to cover everything from global terrorism to my aunt's gout.
