So the NBA has issued a new dress code. And there are people on both sides of the issue. People on both sides need to have their ass kicked and the dress code creator as well. What a fucking farce. This is just another example of the piss poor ideaology that comes from modern society. The detractors need to get a clue and face the real issue instead of responding to the smoke and mirrors that is the dress code. The supporters need to do the same thing. All you hear surrounding this dress code is image problem and racism. Racism be damned that is ludicrous and not worth focus in itself. I went over why many posts before. Image problem. Holy flipping shit. Image problem. When I hear that the dress code is addressing and image problem I shit my pants. Both sides are taking this as valid reasoning for argueing the point. How fucking shallow and shortsighted can people be. How is it that the NBA wants to correct an image problem by dressing their players in spiffy clothing. And how is it that the opponents aren't calling them out on this sham proposal. This decision is of the same ilk as the new age limit in the NBA. They both skirt the real problems and leave them to fester.

They want to fix an image problem, they need to fix the substance problem. That is the problem. These fools have no substance. Those thinking dress will fix an image problem are idiots. These guys are playing loserball. How is it that moronic losers like this are at the top of things. A couple of READ posters and a few public service announcements is no effort to establish substance. They have age limit for whatever self-serving reason and even have the nerve to say that it is helping the players by forcing them to go to school. If they can force them out of the league they can force them to study while in the league. There is no real effort on the part of the NBA or the union to establish substance. I don't see them requiring classes for players or promoting education. How is it they can be so hard-assed on the way someone dresses yet not give two good goddamns about whether their players have advanced writting skills or known american history. That is how you address an image problem. Maybe instead of blasting hip-hop culture you delve into where it came from and eventually you get to the connections to all the history of america. There are so many things wrong here I would take 50 posts to explain them all. I just hate watching losers play loserball and still be considered the best of the best.
