NBA reportedly plans to paint "Black Lives Matter" on courts when season resumes

The NBA is planning on painting "Black Lives Matter" on courts when the season restarts in late July, ESPN reported Monday. The league and the players' union, the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA), reportedly agreed on highlighting the movement at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando.

The death of George Floyd has pushed Black Lives Matter to the forefront, inspiring protests that included some current players. As NBA leadership and its players were in discussions to return playing, some stars brought up the possibility of not playing to retain the focus on social justice issues. Now, according to the report, the NBA will use the hardwood to keep the spotlight on the movement.

"Black Lives Matter" would be painted on the court inside both sidelines in all three arenas, ESPN reported.  The WNBA is also in discussions to do the same when they begin their shortened season at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.

Nope.  I don't watch tv much period. I got sick of the biased commercials, newscasts and tv shows.  I'd much rather read a good book anyways.  Once in awhile we'll go watch the local farm teams play baseball, and that's about it for our "sports watching" ... but I doubt because of COVID we'll do that this year.  One thing that COVID has made me aware of; I'd much rather stay at home and ignore all the day to day b.s. going on.  The world is a much better place that way these days.
