The NBA's new 'Black Lives Matter' court paint and socially distanced bench chairs have been unveiled at Disney World in Orlando as the league prepares to restart its season next week amid the coronavirus pandemic. ESPN's Malika Andrews posted pictures on social media from inside the NBA's bubble, which is aimed at keeping players and staff safe from the outbreak while 22 of the 30 league teams attempt to finish the 2019-2020 season. The paint job had previously been reported, but had gone unseen until Tuesday. Players will also have the option of having social justice messages, like 'Black Lives Matter,' emblazoned on the backs of their jerseys.

There are 4x as many Chinese. The NBA will relinquish US viewers for the vast sea of Chinese fans.

I’m not so sure this will be the end of the NBA. I know very conservative guys that would never go without watching their favorite teams.

People that idolize certain players and teams aren’t going to instantly boycott in my opinion.

Black priviledge in all professional sports. Stop watching the spectacle.

The only way I will see any of that BLM crap will be if I inadvertently land on a channel broadcasting it. It will last a nano second.

It looks like professional sports are committing suicide.

They've been dying for over a decade and accelerating. This is just an attempt to squeeze any last money they can from sports before they become a footnote.

How can a team with people from all over the country vs another team with people from all over the country be about competition between two cities? It’s all a false notion in the first place.

...same here. A “nano second” is how long Obongo’s face was on my TV screen in those 8 miserably long years.

“Black priviledge in all professional sports. Stop watching the spectacle.”

Right. Even golf has peppered its broadcasts with virtue signaling ads and on-air guests. A result of cowarldy corporate sponsors and broadcast producers.

Well, I admit I did see his face longer, each time I changed my bird cage liner.

I went to all of 1 single NBA game in my entire life and have never once watched any NBA game on TV.

The NBA is worse than baseball or football in the manufacture and celebration of sports primadonnas - by that I mean their bad character personalities.

Golf has its personalities but few ever make the headlines for bad character in their private lives, and, in my prejudiced view, you see the difference in character just watching them play together.

I’m fed up with the hysterical, insane fit that is sweeping the country. I’d like to see some rationality for a change.

I will not be watching any NBA game ever.

The NBA needs to die a quick death! As does every other professional sport that supports the communist BLM.

All Pro sports can color me gone. MLB, NBA, NFL... not interested in supporting Marxists and Muslim points of view.

Last year in the NHL.....

“Last year, 26.5 percent of the league’s players — or 286 — were Americans.”
