No to 'do rags!

Instead of the 'do rags, baseball caps worn sideways and sagging, oversized jeans that some players favor, they would have to show up at the arena or the team plane in jackets, ties and slacks.

Sure, the league has a right to be concerned with the image its players present to the public, but a man's clothes are not necessarily a reflection of his character. Maybe the NBA ought to trust its fans to realize that.


Is this fair? Do owners of their teams have the right to implement a dress code for their employees, as most other companies around the world do? As the article mentions, this decision treads dangerously close to the race line given the style of wear he's outlawing is worn predominantly by African Americans.

What do you think?
