All these dudes should do this. Massa Silver gonna destroy all that goodwill after the Sterling fiasco (where he gets credit for making the ONLY decision he could make) to prevent guys from expressing themselves?

You have to respect shyt like this. I know it seems like it would be easy to make an important social stand like this, but you leave yourself open to getting swept up in a "controversy" by old ass out of touch writers and anyone who wants to use you to take the opposite stance. Could potentially even lose sponsorships. I bet he'll get all sorts of racist a$$holes tweeting shyt at him too.


:salute: to Rose

Didn't Luol Deng get fined a few years ago for wearing a pro-Africa shirt during all-star game warmups? I know the NBA is strict about their "official uniform" shyt. But he probably doesn't get fined I guess, I don't think Silver would want to take PR hit by fining him.

The NBA is under a new regime with Adam Silver. He veiws players as partners and not employees.. D. Rose wont get fined for this and the NBA will probably make a statement saying how they are in support the players excising their freedom of speech.

With all these white people protesting about the eric garner situation,I wouldn't be suprised if he encouraged the players to wear these shirts on some sly shyt to get good PR for NBA :smugbiden:
