THE NBA WANTS THEM TO LOOK PROFESSIONAL.

Jesus, is it that hard for you to grasp that "chains" and saggy pants aren't professional? It doesn't matter that they're leaving, or coming, or whatever. It's not fucking racist to make them wear a suit on their way out.

Shit.

see, now you just totally jump out of the argument and go back to your original, basic point that lead into this discussion and you being proven wrong


and i never argued that this was racist, I say it targets the hip-hop culture thought, and because of the nature of the NBA and how they market that very culture, that is wrong.

This is a discussion about what we think of the dress code. You're just the only fucking idiot to actually think that the "white people in the offices" are trying to smash the hip hop culture by making them dress professionally to and from their jobs.

Just shut the fuck up.

this is a joke right? My school wears uniforms, we have to wear our uniforms according to the rules whether we're in skool or not, we still have to wear them the way the school asks us to, on the way to school and on the way home. Footballers (soccer) wear suits on the way to games, after games at meetings, interviews, then u see them on the street wearing jeans and a tee, u dress for ur job it aint that much to ask and it aint rascist either, no wonder shit hasnt moved on in america if ppl pull the race card at every given opportunity however stupid it may be.

Im not arguing that its racist, but whatever school you go to doesnt market hip-hop clothing either, Im sure.


shit, I saw we let the guys do their job, play ball and live their lives how they want to.... like AI said - "putting a murderer in a suit doesnt make him not a killer." What are they trying to protect?

lmao, you are making no sense


I dont even know where to start, I was saying the NBA markets hip-hop culture.... and you said you're gonna have to dress nice in the future when you apply to jobs? This isnt about me, and I doubt Im going to be applying for a job in the NBA. Any statement that other jobs dont market hip-hop is supporting my argument.

But yet you made the thread title "NBA Dress Code - Racist?"

They can play ball and live their lives, but you dress for the job.

It's not that fucking hard to grasp.

THAT WAS THE FUCKING TITLE OF THE ARTICLE, I DIDNT MAKE UP THIS ARGUMENT!!!!!

Jesus, is THAT so hard to grasp?


I didnt just think that this was messed up then made thread about it, this is a debate going on in the real world. You know that place, OUTSIDE of RV?

I never said you made up this article.. I'm just calling you an idiot for actually thinking the NBA is "racist" or "bringing down the hip hop culture" because they make the players dress profesionally to and from games.

Exactly. You dress for the job.

well the title of the thread is about racism.

amd ur stereotyping and judging ppl anyways. Not every nba player (black or otherwise) is into hip hop, so ur bein prejudice. Maybe the team has to wear suits to stop the differences being so obvious (hence the reason for skool uniforms) so maybe the suits have a practical purpose as well as just being professional.

the dress code specifically said "no white tees, jerseys (which IS their fucking uniform!!!!), ect".... which does kind of call-out the hip-hop culture

NO IT DOESN'T.

It forces people to dress professionally for their job. Their fucking job isn't just playing basketball and call it a day.
