Will NBA players take a knee or not?

[jericho]

I guess we will find out tonight.

 

Im guessing if they do it will be BOO Central from the fans.

 

I cant see how the NBA can afford a loss in revenue like has happened in the NFL, there are already not enough interest-in the NBA out side of the city who has a team. I do not watch at all.

[SnottieDrippen]

My guess is there will be a protest and no players' jobs will be threatened.

[Jumper_Dad]

I'm sure some will or at least protest in some way.

[Mack The Knife]

If I did not watch at all, I could care less if they kneel. I do watch and still wouldn't care. I'm only interested in the play on the court.

I know one thing for sure, the NBA will not botch the PR like the NFL is doing.

 

NFL and NBA fans are very different. I doubt it hurts the NBA much if players protest.

I have a feeling we will find out.

I thought the NBA already had a rule addressing this.

They do...

 

Players, coaches, and trainers are to stand and line up in a dignified posture along the sidelines or on the foul line during the playing of the National Anthem.

 

@IanBegley

 

Asked if a player will be penalized if he doesn't stand for the anthem, Adam Silver says such a situation would be dealt with if it arises.

Seems there is some pressure on Lebron to take a knee and allow for everyone else to also, for at least 1st game.

 

I guess they feel they have to try to make a point.

 

NBA will do nothing to them IMO.

Is there any proof that has happened?

1. The playoff ratings were up.

2. If you don't watch at all then why start a thread on it?

The NBA is as strong as it's ever been.

[GrantNKY]

Saying people don't watch the NBA outside of the city they are in is ridiculous. They may not watch the NBA in Corbin but they sure as hell do in the rest of the country.

I doubt as many watch it as people think.

Because I saw an article on CBS about it.

Are we not allowed to comment on things.
