The NBA Leads Again For The Fight For Civil Rights

Read this very carefully. When it comes to quest for civil rights and corporate responsibility, the NBA has led the way. The league is a model of corporate decency that the rest of the United States needs to take notice. Here are some recent examples of how the NBA adheres to a strong policy of equity for all citizens.

The NBA moved the All Star game from Charlotte North Carolina to New Orleans in February 2017. This was in response to North Carolina's law that discriminates against the LGBTQ community. Recently, 3 NBA teams have boycotted the election of Donald Trump by eliminating any connection to Trump business ventures while on the road playing basketball. Gender equity: NBA expanded sports coverage by women broadcasters, refereeing games, and coaching and training opportunities. The NBA also has required stronger disciplinary practices for Domestic Violence. Police violence was also addressed. The NBA has played a pivotal role regarding Social Justice issues.

The recent moves by the NBA continues a policy of social responsibility that no other professional sports organizations have tried to aspire to be. Lost in discussion are the efforts by the owners and the league to fight injustices that exist in our country.
