    Noticed during Rockets game today no mention whatsoever of Easter. Just curious if that was a directive of this league as I watched multiple telecasts on league pass. Interesting how Thanksgiving games get pictures of Turkeys and mentioning throughout. Sad that politics creeps more and more into sports.

    You should not be surprised.

    Christianity is under attack everywhere

    Getting mad about a sport cast not celebrating a holiday with shitty digital animation themes and pictures sounds like politics to me

    Spend your day how you’d like, why worry about others

    Oh yes, not catering specifically to the personal whims and preferences of one group means that group is "under attack". Sounds like snowflake behavior to me.

    These holy-days are all suspect for most part, from the origin of Thanksgiving to the Christ-mass story to the Easter bunny, which no bunnies actually lay eggs

    The commerce driven media is just more bias to those days that bring in $$ which is shopping/eating ie. Christmas/Turkey day, so they get the most publicity

    Nothing wrong wondering if it was a league directive to not mention it in any way

    They said happy Easter during the broadcast, you can’t expect the league to cater to one specific religion over others. Get over it dude.

    Good, hope it stays that way, no need to promote fairy tales in sports

    Sounds like the opposite of politics to me.

    The Capital One arena staff were spouting Happy Easter. Not sure anyone was expecting Jalen Green to do it besides you, but different folks different strokes.

    Thanks for the support Tfor3…..people on this same board sure took up for Morey with the Taiwan situation and were against the same league who wanted him fired. This league also stood up BIG TIME for BLM and I couldn’t watch a game without the promotion of BLM. Now they have LGBTQ day and celebrate that supposed holiday with constant mentioning and graffiti at Toyota Center. Now I bring up the total ignoring of a major holiday in Easter and am treated with disrespect….go figure and shows the sad state this country and league are currently in.

    As long as it is not anti-Eason, I don't care.

    Easter rules because you get a 4 day weekend.

    The chocolate eggs and the fairy tale about a dude who turns into a zombie are inconsequential

    Ackerman literally wished everyone a happy Easter in the first 10 min of broadcast.

    The NBA isn't anti-Easter or anti-Christianity. They're anti-bunny.
