October 17, 20178 yr Because I saw an article on CBS about it. Are we not allowed to comment on things. You are. Though informing yourself before commenting might help to make a better conversation. The NBA is doing really well right now and interest is extremely high. Contrary to what one guy thinks. Also, the NBA fan base will probably react much more favorably to protests about the treatment of black people in America than the NFL fan base does. Especially those in rural KY who probably don't care one bit about the treatment of black Americans.
October 17, 20178 yr 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. Answer - No.

I don't think that shot was fair.

Well everything I read on here about treatment of blacks is actually how blacks are treating each other. From black on. Lack crime to no fathers and stuff. I may be dead butt wrong, but that's how I read everything about the NFL protest.
October 17, 20178 yr Author What is majority of ticket buyers are white or black? Is it comparable to NFL tickets buyers.
October 17, 20178 yr Is it comparable to NFL tickets buyers. Much different. NBA has by far the highest number of minority viewers. Interesting to look at the demographics of the major sports. As others mentioned, the NBA much more popular than people think. Also, the NHL is much different than people think. They have the highest percentage of viewers who make over $100,000, even higher than PGA.
October 17, 20178 yr As far as taking a knee, I think there will be very few if any. Many high profile players and teams have already said that they will not.
October 18, 20178 yr NBA is a different animal, aint none of them dumb enough to do it. Remember these guys get a heck of alot more endorsement deals than NFL guys do. Too much at risk.

October 18, 20178 yr I see a NBA Celebration right now! The NBA is looking strong and this is their chance to capitalize on some new fans.
October 18, 20178 yr Also average age of viewers for the NBA is 8 years younger than the NFL. 50 to 42. Yes, I believe it is the youngest fan base overall. No surprise, baseball's is the oldest.
