n ive been to the us before, hav friends living there and we get alot of american advertising and tv here so i can talk bout it cause i know wat u mean and i see the connectionb etween hiphop and basketball but their staff clothing for working hours has nuthin to do wit discriminating against hiphop it just simply looks professional

Argh, but what I'm saying is that if the league wants a "professional" image, then why don't they show ads of people drinking tea and watching a smashing game of hoops?

Fucking Jesus.



Yo, go sit yo cracker jack ass down somewhere. Have you noticed all white people say that shit. If it was flipped around and white people get pre-judged and steotyped, then they would be saying the same thing. I think the dress code is stupid, and the NBA should boycott, well at least alot of the players, but that's gonna take a lot of time and coroporation. Really, I think David Stern just lowered his self. A.I. is really pissed about it.

who are you talking too? LOL

and yeah it aint racist. but that shits stupid as fuck. You should be able to dress the way you want. you earned it. Why the fuck are they making everyone follow one dress code. why can't everyone follow hiphop dress code.

what because people who where hip hop clothing are suppost to be gangsters?

thats not how it is at all people are just fucking stupid and because the majority of criminals dress hiphop. doesn't mean everyone does. same thing as sayin all asians know kung-fu...fuck is that shit!

i say you should dress the way you want.

end of story


this made me mad to hear this :@:@:@:

Yeah, I'm done arguing in this thread.

I've said everything I've need to, and going on would just be me repeating the same shit over and over again.

how the fuck is that racist?
duz that means that if they tell the white ballers to dress formally they just want to make there appearance look more proffesional, but if they ask the black ballers to dress formally its racist?
n i dunno if ne1 else has noticed, but a lot of rappers DO wear proffesional clothing
jay-z rocks a suit in a lot of the pics ull see of him, a lot a southern artists are doint it 2...
so its not really "anti-hiphop culture" either
its not so hard to c where the nba's comin from here, they want to make the league look more proffesional n give it a better public appearance

Spider 10-19-05 09:39 PM

u shoulda just made a poll

K.ontroverz.Y 10-19-05 09:40 PM

KSR. why should we follow that dresscode?

Magic5 10-19-05 09:42 PM

..Because you dress professionally for any serious job.

distilled 10-19-05 09:43 PM

I know this will obviously have been said.

But It Sucks That people ave to bring Race into this, It's Just a Company Introducing a dress code to their employees, and the eployees hapen to be famous sportstar celebrities.


Fuck that, This Has Nothing To Do With Race.
