Playing Dress-Up

The NBA, in a futile attempt to maintain something resembling relevance, has announced a new dress code:

Players will be expected to wear business casual attire whenever they participate in team or league activities, including arriving at games, leaving games and making promotional or other appearances.

Naturally, the move has provoked a rash of thoughtful and enlightened comments from the denizens of the gang league:

"We don't really sell to big business," Suns guard Raja Bell said. "We sell to kids and people who are into the NBA hip-hop world. They may be marketing to the wrong people with this."

I would make a snide comment concerning Mr. Bell's glaring deficit of clues, but it would be entirely pointless.

Enjoy your trip into oblivion, Mr. Bell. Say hello to the roller derby people for me.

It's too sad these grown men prefer to dress like a teenage gangster than a successful adult making millions a year playing a freakin game.

...and a BORING freakin game, at that. Kids and gangsters are the only ones with minds simple enough to find basketball entertaining, so its no wonder that their market is so limited.

IMHO, no contact, no sport. Put on some ice skates and check somebody before I go into a coma!
