How brave of them all.

However, as one comment points out, no player is likely to sport a "Free Hong Kong" slogan (or call out how Africans and some Black Americans were treated in Guangzhou).

When the NBA attempts to resume its season next month at Walt Disney World near Orlando, Florida, the league will allow players to have a say in customizing their jerseys.

Players, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, will be able to replace the last name on their jerseys with a statement on social justice.

The Players Association reportedly sent initial details of the plan to players on Saturday, and is currently working with both the league and Nike on how to implement it.

No doubt these jerseys of freedom and justices will be made in sweatshops utilizing slave labor.

I'm sure they would not be allowed to have shirts that protest anything serious like the Chinese concentration camps for Muslims. Or Nike sweat shops.

Everything has now been politicized by the Left. Everything. Watch college football this fall. All the coaches and universities now support politicizing even those games with players demonstrating support for BLM. You can no longer escape it. Turn them off.
