“If you look at NBA players. White, black, brown, yellow, whatever color or nationality, regardless of how they dress, and think thug. You are an idiot.” As seen at Caught in Between, Mavs owner Mark Cuban eloquently dissects the reasons for the NBA dress code (with additional comments) over at Blog Maverick: “‘Unfortunately we have gotten to the point where some, but not all, owners, or which ever executive is in charge of the team, have lost the ability to communicate with their players. In a nutshell, they dont talk to their players… I explained that a couple corporate customers of the league…were uncomfortable with the appearance of some players. That unfortunately, in those cities, they didnt feel comfortable having a discussion like this and that their ownership didnt feel comfortable asking those players to work with the teams for the best of the league. Since the teams couldnt deal with it, they had asked the league to step in and deal with it.”

most, if not all the NBA players, wear and promote sports wear that is either theirs or other players…meaning! advertisement$$$$ Most players come from the same hoods that america wants to forget but its this reminder ( via dress ) that coming from nothing a person of color can achieve something worth promoting to make themselves a nice piece of change at the end of the day.
Is it true the white people in america wont be satisfied until every person in america dresses and acts [ “W H I T E” ]????? Can’t anyone that is in america express thier own cultural freedom without new regulations being put in place after america dosn’t approve?
When I go to a NBA game, i’m already paying way too much for everything but I’m paying the players to put on a good show not come looking all like ,well,all WHITED OUT.
Street is where most of these people were found and the street is where most will go when white america has no more use for them anymore.
LET THE NBA PLAYERS DRESS HOW THEY WANT TO DRESS UNTIL THEY STOP PLAYING BALL HOW WE ARE PAYING THEM TO PLAY,THEN BITCH. WHITE AMERICA DOESN’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH CASHING-IN ON THE CLOTHS BUT THEY JUST DON’T WANT THE PLAYERS TO PROMOTE THIER OWNSELVES.DONT GET MAD BECAUSE ALL THESE LIL WHITE KIDS ARE LOOKING LIKE LIL BLACK KIDS… IF IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND, THERE WOULD BE NO ISSUE.NOW WOULD IT???
