NBA Dress Code

So seems like some high level white guys are tired of the black culture influencing white teens and how they dress and live there life. The NBA has instituted a dress code far more serious than most public schools. I would be pissed off as a NBA player and would break the rules. But they can get fined and suspended, which blows. Read this:

Seems so lame!!! You should be able to present yourself however you want. Not how some rich white guys want it. The NBA is fucked up now. Maybe they feel it wont produce another Indiana Detroit type scenario some how.

meh, not such a bad thing. As long as AI doesn't come back and capp us all, I'm fine with whatever they wear, I also play basketball and find that it is hard to play with large medallions strewn over my clothes

ARe you fucking kidding me? This should have been in place all along. Anybody in corporate America making millions of dollars wears a fucking suit to work. why would this be any different? It's not even that big of a deal. No sunglasses inside? Why the fuck would you do that anyway? You can wear jeans for christ sake.

It's fuckin stupid for them to get so upset (Iverson)... They get paid HUGE bucks to do something they love and they can't dress respectably on game days. It seems like a stupid high school dispute, except for the fact that they're gettin paid for it.

that is exactly what i'm thinking...

"Players are required to wear Business Casual attire whenever they are engaged in team or league business."

what the fuck is wrong with that?? they're encouraging them not too look like showboats.. sounds pretty appropriate to me too.

i think if you're going to be professional, you should look professional. and not just with basketball, but the same goes for any sport.

i know this doesnt relate to the dresscode but it does pertain to basketball. tim duncan is a faggot and so are the spurs. he has no personality or exciting skills beyond his basiv fundamental basketball. fuck tim duncan!
