NBA to Paint 'Black Lives Matter' at Walt Disney World Resort Florida Courts

The NBA plans to paint the words "Black Lives Matter" on all three basketball courts the league will use at the Walt Disney World Resort when the season restarts in late July in Orlando, Florida, league sources told ESPN.

The announcement came as athletes called for justice over recent police custody deaths of black people. Both the NBA and National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) have previously said they will address and take action to combat racial injustice.

Leaders of both the NBA and NBPA told reporters on June 26 they are planning to make the NBA's platform in Orlando a way to highlight racial inequality, social justice, and police brutality, ESPN reported.

"As a union of NBA players and as a league, it is our job to use our collective platform to both put a spotlight on those issues and work to effect change," NBPA President and basketball player Chris Paul said in a news release on June 24

The Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) is planning to take the same road as the NBA when it begins its season at IMG Academy in Florida. WNBA players proposed putting slogans on their shirts that read "Say Her Name," alluding to Breonna Taylor and other women who were the victims of police brutality, sources told ESPN.

I don't watch sports anyway.

I also will not visit Disneyland/Disneyworld ever again.
With all these lawyers with cameras on the street i'm shocked we have so much crime in the world.

There is constitutional law and there is law and order. This challenge to law and order is always the start to loosing our constitutional rights.

Frauditors are a waste of life.

I really don't care what the NBA does. I do not watch it anyway.
I don't either, and that may be why they're doing this. It's not as if it will effect their minimal viewership.
It amazes me how Marxists have taken over so much of American culture, how much they spend and not for monetary profit, no, the profit they seek is in the destruction of the American culture.

I don't mind them doing this. I'm more upset that they even bothered to come back this year. Seems forced for dollars. But, you know, the league has to make that money...

Of Course you don't mind a major sporting corporation exposing their Marxist side, you agree with Marxist ideals.
