THEY DIDN'T WISH ME A HAPPY PASSOVER!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!! THE LEAGUE IS ANTI-SEMITIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep, looks just as dumb as it sounded in my head once written down.
THIS IS SUCH NONSENSE !!!!!!! Claiming victimization when people have just moved on from that mythology, no one is attacking it, people just don't believe in the hocus pocus nonsense anymore. DD
The 2023 animation budget was moved to the 2020 BLM jersey phrases. No harm, no foul. The decision was made years ago.
On the "league celebrating pride month" thing: Being LGBT isn't a choice. Being a specific religion definitely is. LGBT folks are a persecuted group who have suffered tremendous violence and oppression in this country in recent memory. Christians are not; getting slightly less cultural acknowledgement than you're accustomed to =/= oppression, sorry. In any case, giving LGBT people a space to be proud of their identity is about moving culture in a better direction. By contrast, celebrating Christianity merely reinforces the status quo, and the status quo's gonna be fine whether the NBA messes with it or not. To be clear: I don't care that much whether the NBA celebrates pride month or not, but there are obvious reasons why you might celebrate one and not the other. I don't care if the league celebrates Easter, but if they do, fairness dictates they should also celebrate other religious holidays like Ramadan, Diwali, Vesak, Passover... It kinda starts to become a bit much. Understandable that it's easier to avoid all religious traditions than to cater to every religion's customs since there are so many of them. And don't give me this "We are a Christian nation" crap, we are most certainly not (nearly 40% of the population do not identify as Christians). This Christian nationalism crap is a bad, bad look that is highly associated with various hate groups, and you really shouldn't go there.
Lol Actually I suggest you watch this clip (scrub to 1:58 if you aren't patient) John Stewart criticizes what you are describing here but probably from the opposite end of the spectrum you are coming from. His take is nuanced, yours is reactionary. People like you never ask "why blm even existed in the first place?".
The entitlement of white Christians in America is at an absurd comical level. And it's fueled by pure jealousy. They seriously want the world to view them as an oppressed class similar to African Americans and Native Americans. It's so damn pathetic. They constantly.ask why they don't have their own pride month without the self awareness that the default state is white Christians having the political and economic power.
The NBA would be better off not embarking on religious or social justice shenanigans. Just stay neutral. Look at the Mario movie. Just do that and you'll be alright. As Fox News once famously quipped...just shut up and dribble.
At one end I understand that pretty much all corporate "diversity initiatives" and "diversity events" is just PR. On the other hand, I hate the people who think those things are the bane of society. Like if you think that is the sign of a failing society and not things like a software algorithm price fixing(forming a cartel) over basic human needs like rent pricing then you are out of touch with the real needs of society and are probably a privileged human
I didn't hear anything about Passover!!! Or Ramadan!!! How come they never celebrate Festivus in December???
Your comments are ignorant and offensive. Not surprised they came from you. Your takes are always wrong btw. However, you are entitled to your opinion Please don’t confuse (your) opinion with fact. I already know you believe Christianity is a myth and nonsense and is more opinion than fact, but typing in ALL CAPS with numerous exclamation marks doesn’t make your thoughts fact. Agree to disagree.
Not all Christians are white. There are millions of Asian, black and Latino Christians world wide. I’ve never heard a Christian ask for a pride month btw.
Btw, I may not agree with everyone’s views here BUT I love that we all are together in our passion for the Rockets and would love to share in more Rockets Championships with EACH and every one of you should we be that lucky to win a ‘ship. #sincerely
*Worst three-year stretch in franchise history concludes* OP: no mention of Easter??! You woke, anti-Christian bastards! /thread
