You should rejoice. The league employs about 18-20,000 people. If the NBA folds they will be out of work.
The sooner you understand you need to repent and turn to the savior, the better off you will be.

Are you questioning my relationship with Christ?

The context were those who are loosing their jobs. Every indication we have now is that this will be around for at least another year. Factor that into any decisions you (worker who used to work in NBA stadiums during games) have to make.

“Shut up and entertain us!”?

Maybe the “gladiators” would like to have their say?
I think there are some gladiators like Kaepernick and Reed who definitely want to have their say.

But realize, they get to have their say, the owners get to have their say and the fans get to have their say. Owners are not required to pay you millions of dollars so you can have your say and fans are not required to listen to you preach to them.

I suspect there are many more gladiators that are very upset that someone like Lebron having his say is going to ruin their contracts, pay, and career.

They had their say when they signed their big dollar contracts.

Maybe they don’t agree with your assessment?
Now what?

These are people, telling them to stifle and go back to work might not sit well with them?

The league owners could just fire the lot of them and hire “new people” who maybe haven’t trained their entire lives to play the sport?

Won’t that be entertaining!?
Watching amateurs performing badly will just rake in them bucks!

Here's another idea....
The players could actually play, like they're being paid big bucks to. Nothing "stifling" about making millions of dollars to play games.

So “just play, but no speechifying”?
Okay, gotcha.

I’ll allow you the dignity of having the last word.
