NBA Double Standard?

Good Intentions

Before the NBA restarted their remaining games to finish this unusual pandemic delayed and shortened season, the NBA, the players, the owners and the coaching staff, wanted to keep the fight for equality, social justice and racial issues.

NBA Players Union President, Chris Paul said the players union will continue to shed light on the different social justice issues that guys around our league continue to talk about day in and day out. I mean that is true, as these will just not really go away.

Walking/Playing Billboards

One way to do it is by taking a knee and wearing their hearts on your caps, shirts and jerseys, for all to see.

There were a list of about 30 approved messages that players could put on their backs.

Players can choose which one to use other than last name.

Some of the messages are:

• Justice
• Peace
• Equality
• Freedom
• Enough
• Justice Now
• Sí Se Puede
• See Us
• Hear Us
• Respect Us
• Love Us
• Listen to Us
• Stand Up
• Speak Up
• Anti-Racist

And this is all well and good, unless if you don't know who the players are.

But saying these messages are one thing and living them out is another.

Move Along, Nothing To See Here

Now some people have already been talking about Harrell calling out Doncic, with profanity and using his "race", yes that B!%#* A$% White Boy Luka.

But did we hear anything from the NBA, from the players, from his team, from LeBron?

Double Standard?

Doesn't really surprise most people as they've done far more worse to Asian Boy Jeremy for many years, in fact almost the whole time he was in the NBA.

No one really said anything about it. There were those times he was denied entry to opponents' arenas because he doesn't look like a player -- yes we know, because of his race.

But the worse part is the injuries he sustained, the non calls on the hard and dangerous fouls on him and flagrant fouls done to him that did not even rose to the point of reviews. (Worse because he normally wouldn't flop or sell the contact). And then he sneezes on his opponent and he gets called a foul. Funny, but not really.

So have we all conveniently forgotten? Or we just don't care to go there.

Any which way, this is the time to "Speak Up". This is the time to "Stand Up". This is the time to "Hear Us", "Listen to Us", ""See Us" and "Respect Us".

This is the time for "Equality"

Jeremy Lin:  Too Flagrant Not to Call

No more, the NBA has opened its doors to world. Let them in, and keep them coming, but treat them equality and with respect.

Adam Silver, what says you?
