The NBA, amid suffering from record lows in their ratings, has agreed to leave all the recent social justice messages “off the floor” starting with the next season. Adam Silver, the commissioner of the NBA, had during past months insisted in promoting a pro Black Lives Matter to support the leagues overwhelmingly African American players. According to NBC Sports, “Adam Silver told them, ‘Hey guys, this is what we’re going to do to support our players. Our league is overwhelmingly comprised of African American players. This is important. This is a partnership. We need to work together to get through this season and into next year.'”
