    Amid news that the NBA is clocking record-low ratings for the 2020 NBA Finals, league commissioner Adam Silver told NBA Countdown that professional basketball will leave social justice messages “off the floor” next season.

    The 2020 season, played in a “bubble” because of the coronavirus pandemic, prominently featured Black Lives Matter messaging. NBA players were encouraged to replace the surnames on their jerseys with social justice-themed messaging, and the slogan “Black Lives Matter” was printed across the court where “bubble” games were played.

    The league’s decision to embrace the Black Lives Matter movement was controversial even among team owners, but Silver demanded that teams comply to show support for the league’s black players, according to NBC News.

    NBA is learning the hard way that leftism consumes and destroys who it claims to be championing. The NBA players are "useful idiots" who did nothing but destroy their own sand box.

    Did the NBA get that order from the CCP? They now make more money in China than in the USA and that is the reason that they don't care what the Chinese Communist Party does to repress Hong Kong.
