Few endeavors are as woke as the NBA.
The NBA held preseason games in UAE, where homosexuality is punishable by death, but canceled a game in 2016 in Charlotte, North Carolina over a transgender bathroom law.
They donated $300M to BLM and festooned uniforms and courts with pro-BLM messages.
Woke Biden supporter Steph Curry talks a good game, but when it comes to building affordable housing near his luxurious mansion? No thank you!
Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich went on an unhinged rant against Christopher Columbus with a woke-worthy diatribe filled with dramatic pauses and righteous white liberal indignation.
They interrupted a pre-game ceremony with a video statement by the Chinese Ambassador to the US and a special rendition of the Star Spangled Banner played on a traditional Chinese instrument.
They kneel for the anthem and they cheer when a player, who doesn’t line up lock-step with their agenda, suffers a serious injury.
The NBA proves Go Woke, Go Broke. Their ratings have plummeted in recent years.
Maybe all the woke angst is fomenting anger and spilling over to the game.

Friday night, Orland Magic center Mo Bamba and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Austin Rivers came to blows during the game.
The melee resulted in the eviction of five players from the game.
Though play was at the other end of the court, Rivers approached the bench where Bamba was sitting. Bamba stood up and the violence began. Rivers had to be pulled off of Bamba and members of both teams joined the fisticuffs.
Postgame, Rivers claimed Bamba was talking trash from the bench.
