You realize real change is generational, right?
If the NBA (and the players, and the owners) would really want to enact change, they would get everyone together to start a multi city support program for African American youth, where a combination of the owners, NBA and the players create programs to help those communities.
Instead they put lettering on jersey's, and logos on the court and walk out in hopes that something will change.
That is the problem right now. Everyone is trying to outdo someone else to get more media attention. It is clearly not working, and the viscous news cycle will forget about this in a day or so.
If 'change' is about getting media attention, that isn't change.
Yet around and around we go.
