The NBA Joins Team Gun Control
The National Basketball Association has teamed up with Everytown for Gun Safety and will lend its name and its athletes for a PR campaign against the Second Amendment.
In a move with little precedent in professional sports, the N.B.A. is putting the weight of its multibillion-dollar brand and the prestige of its star athletes behind a series of television commercials calling for an end to gun violence.
The first ads, timed to reach millions of basketball fans during a series of marquee games on Christmas Day, focus on shooting victims and contain no policy recommendations. The words “gun control” are never mentioned.
Yeah, we know. It's never about "gun control" and always about "sensible gun legislation."
There are a lot of Basketball enthusiasts out there who support the Second Amendment 100% and who will be pissed at finding their favorite sport politicized.
It is about restriction and control, not about preventing violence. The shootings are just used to gin up a public crisis so they can drive their agenda of control and disarmament.
