Report: NBA To Paint ‘Black Lives Matter’ On Courts
The NBA is reportedly planning to paint ‘Black Lives Matter’ on their Disney courts, according to ESPN. The WNBA is also weighing the decision, the report noted.
Conservative talk radio host Mark Levin responded on Twitter saying, “So, a violent Marxist-anarchist, anti-Semitic, hate-America group will have its name painted on sides of the NBA basketball courts. And the multi-millionaire players and billionaire owners – hypocrites and frauds – expect the rest of us to pay for this?”
He added, “I certainly hope we still have the gumption to tell these pathetic, phony revolutionaries, who milk this country for everything it’s worth while condemning it, go to hell and we, the people, stop subsidizing their extravagant lifestyles.

The basketball players’ union is also vying for players to be able to wear jerseys with messages of racial justice, ESPN reports.
The report comes as the basketball league moves towards restarting the sports season after a months-long halt with the COVID-19 pandemic. Many teams have announced plans to kick off the season in late July.
Just before 12:15 am Wednesday morning, an arsonist set fire to the 50-foot tree in front of Fox News’ Midtown headquarters on 6th avenue. The suspect, a 49-year-old with three prior arrests, was quickly caught and taken into custody.
The man has two previous arrests for drug possession and one for public intoxication. The motive is unclear, and Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said detectives are looking into whether mental illness was a factor.
The suspect accused of setting the News Corp. Christmas tree on fire is taken into custody by the NYPD.
“The suspect is identified as 49-year-old Craig Tamanaha, who is homeless, with a last known address in Brooklyn” reports ABC 7 New York. Police said the suspect climbed up “the metal superstructure” underneath the artificial tree and lit papers he had brought with him on fire, then shoved the papers into the tree structure.
He then climbed down and watched from the street level as it burned, and he was spotted by building security who pointed the man out to police officers posted in nearby Rockefeller Center,” reports ABC.
A lighter was found in his possession, and he has been charged with criminal mischief, reckless endangerment, arson, criminal nuisance, endangering others, criminal trespass, criminal tampering and disorderly conduct.
Fox says it will rebuild the tree, which took more than 21 hours to assemble and consisted of 10,000 glass ornaments and 100,000 lights.
