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.
Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar was voted off the House Foreign Affairs Committee Thursday. The action was expected, as Republican members of Congress had criticized Omar’s antisemetic and anti-American rhetoric.
After intense debating on the House floor, the resolution passed with a 218-211 vote. Democrats attempted to pull the race card, accusing Republican House members of racism for removing Omar from the committee.
Omar also accused House Republicans of racism, saying, “I am Muslim, I am an immigrant, and interestingly, from Africa…Is anyone surprised that I am being targeted? Is anyone surprised that I am somehow deemed unworthy to speak about American foreign policy, or that they see me as a powerful voice that needs to be silenced?”
“There is this idea that you are a suspect if you are an immigrant or if you are from certain parts of the world or certain skin tone or a muslim.” Omar said during the heated debate. A fiery Alexandria Ocasia Cortez also chimed in shouting, “This is an attack on women of color!”
Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, from New York, said she had personally witnessed Omar spew anti-American rhetoric. Malliotakis said, “I have been in that committee room where, the representative, equates Israel and the United States to Hamas and the Taliban. Absolutely unacceptable for a member of that committee.”
A four-page resolution was written for the justification of removing Omar from the house Foreign Affairs Committee. The resolution states that in 2019, Omar suggested that Jewish people were buying U.S. political support when she posted on Twitter, “it’s all about the Benjamins, baby.”
Omar also commented on the September 11th attacks saying, “some people did something.” This type of comment is unacceptable for any representative who is sitting on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, lawmakers said.
In the resolution it states that members of this committee should all be held to an “equal standard of conduct due to the international sensitivities and national security concerns under the jurisdiction of this committee.”
