Up until the last few years the NBA and other sports leagues didn't fuck with this nonsense. Your timeline is way off. I don't support a league that supports hate. When you have a league of players that have worn these symbols of hate on their jerseys and are on the court I am going to choose not to participate. The free market continues to punish both the NBA and the NFL for their actions because fans have now opted out. It has nothing to do with the love of the sport. It's about what that sport is now representing.<|im_end|>

Got it, you think the sport has “fallen” in the sense that it is no longer what it used to be, or what you feel it should be.  But you’re saying it doesn’t have to be that way. It is very clearly not what it was in the 1970s.  Do you know anything about the NBA from the 1970s? What did it do then that it’s not doing now? How has it changed? And what do you want it to be in the future?<|im_end|>
