    The bubble is missing cheerleaders, the red panda and other entertainment badly.

    That shirt highlights the problem well imo. There’s a clear law of the land against minorities in the case of voting. If there was a clear demarcation now, I think it would be easy to change the minds of others.

    It’s just difficult when the only existing legislation that’s explicit about race is affirmative action.

    13th Amendment also needs to be amended. Slavery should not exist in any form in the United States of America.

    Giannis shouldn't be in there due to his suspension.

    NBA did this right, kudos to Silver.

    Begrudgingly.

    The play in format may be incorporated permanently.

    Sure makes that 8th seed more interesting as well as dissuading tanking for the lottery.

    Obviously at this point @The Cat @YOLO others were right and I was wrong. NBA pulled off it's bubble despite a raging COVID19 pandemic both locally and globally.

    It worked. Hopefully we don't have to ever do this again.

    Good for you, 2 aspects.

    1. I think the overall impact of sports coming back still didn't provide enough relief. Everything going on in the country is still pretty concerning.
    The Lakers going to the Finals isn't really a relief for lot of fans in terms of competitiveness.

    2. Players were more concerned with race issues, the overall situation of BLM, and it almost caused everything to stop. (Milwaukee boycott)

    I would give those posters credit for believing but the House incident and the snitch hotline didn't exactly shed a good light on the NBA in general.

    Apologies for how chippy it got at times, I know your concerns were for really good reasons. Just happy it worked out.

    What's really amazing is that for 90+ days here was only one player who snuck a girl in from the outside, and only once!
