I mean frankly it’s probably both. But I’m ok with there being fewer NBA fans who don’t believe in basic science and who don’t believe that we need police reform.

Turning away more fans or letting the light shine in?

Or maybe Sterling Brown, the Bucks player who was taken down by local Wisconsin cops in 2018 and who has refused to be bribed to make it all go away. Watch the Sterling Bronwn video–sickening.

They mite be. The NBAs product is in play. The owners could likely believe that any one of their players at any time in the non bubble future could be shot, injured or harmed by a racist cop OR the same could happen to an NBA fan(s). And that such an incident would affect their product and bottom line. Could be a business decision.

Thanks for linking the stats and proving it’s not an epidemic, or strictly a Black issue.

The internet is an amazing thing. Did your research for you (took 30 seconds).
