/Paul Mirengoff: Slogans from the poorly educated
According to this report, the NBA will allow its players to replace the last name on the back of their jerseys with a statement on “social justice.” To me, this is more offensive than permitting a one-time gesture — kneeling, a clinched fist, whatever — at the beginning of an athletic contest.
Watching some ill-educated 20-something who attended a basketball factory university for a year or two run up and down the court for hours with a political slogan on his back isn’t my cup of tea. For that matter, watching some 20-something graduate from an Ivy League college do so wouldn’t be either.
