If you’ve been following the NBA, you know that the NBA Players Association and the League got together and agreed on 29 messages that can be placed on players’ jerseys – messages like: Black Lives Matter, Say Their Names, and (I’m not making this up) Group Economics.
Companies have been backing Black Lives Matter with big donations, but that’s small potatoes when they could incorporate those same NBA messages in their product names and labeling. Woke merchandise will fly off the shelves. Bring the magic of Madison Avenue into the streets and make a statement with the products you purchase. Imagine the street cred you’ll enjoy when you whip out your bottle of “Hands Up Antiperspirant”!
And how about these fine products and services:
- Power to the People Electric Company
- Say Their Names Memory Booster
- See Us Eyeglasses
- Speak Up Hearing Aids
- Love Us Online Dating Service
- Just-Ice Diamonds
- E-Quality Online Shopping
- Stand Up Crutches
- Si Se Puede (Yes We Can) Mason Jars
- Just-Ice Now Instant Ice Makers
- Hear Us Bullhorns
- I Am A Man ED Treatment
They ought to make them wear that one.
I’d go look at the list, but I’m already boycotting the NBA. Not for the BLM nonsense. For kowtowing to Xi. They can move operations to the PRC for all I care.
How about: NBA Cowtow’n Boots?
The NBA players demonstrated that they don’t care about justice when they refused to back Daryl Morey’s tweet supporting Hong Kong. Their messages are as hollow as their chests.
BLM, Antifa, and their fellow rioters, arsonists, and looters don’t believe in justice either. Justice can’t be a one-way street – justice for me but none for you, for the cop I just blinded with my laser, or for the poor slob who owns the small business I torched.
The companies that contribute to BLM aren’t buying justice, they hope to buy off the woke Left.
The Mayors and Governors who pander to these thugs and make excuses for their serial injustices clearly don’t believe in justice either.
So, this post is in “honor” of the way in which each profits from their own special brand of hypocrisy:
May they all receive the justice they so richly deserve.
Actually, putting blm/antifa symbols on products might be a way of discovering what average Americans think of these groups. It would be be very interesting if the sales of such branded products took a nose dive. Or increased.
How about “Silence is Violence” hearing aids?
Good one! Or “White Supremacy Bleach”?

Disrupt the Western-inspired Nuclear Family Counselling,
“Our Violence is Free Speech, Your Free Speech is Violence” School of Rhetoric
Here’s a slice of a New York Post op ed by Phil Mushnick on social justice messages we won’t be seeing on any NBA player’s jersey:
More messages we won’t be seeing on NBA jerseys:

Richard,
Any shred of dignity that the NBA ever had just got vaporized. Idiots.
Nice post.
