Quote:Adam Silver (NBA Commissioner) was on Mike & Mike the other day and stated that he addressed the National Anthem with all of the players & coaches.  He informed the players that there were several different ways to help the community without taking actions during the National Anthem that fans consider to be disrespectful.  He stated that the NBA and sports in general have been very good to the black athletes so they need to foster their opinions in a positive manner.
I cannot think of a single more patronizing, backwards way to handle the situation. "We feed you, we clothe you, we give you shelter, now get back into the fields, pick my cotton and quit having an opinion."
