NBA & NBPA Agree On List Of Social Messages/Statements Players Are Allowed To Replace Their Names On Jerseys With
Last week, it was revealed that players will have the option of replacing their last name on their jerseys with a statement on social justice when the NBA season resumes on July 30, in Orlando.
This is one of the results coming from the NBPA working on ideas with the NBA and Nike on how players could voice their support of the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement.
The NBPA and NBA have now agreed to a list of social messages that can be put on jerseys, per ESPN:
The list of the suggested social messages that were agreed upon by the NBPA and the NBA and then made available to players via email, per the source, are: Black Lives Matter; Say Their Names; Vote; I Can’t Breathe; Justice; Peace; Equality; Freedom; Enough; Power to the People; Justice Now; Say Her Name; Sí Se Puede (Yes We Can); Liberation; See Us; Hear Us; Respect Us; Love Us; Listen; Listen to Us; Stand Up; Ally; Anti-Racist; I Am A Man; Speak Up; How Many More; Group Economics; Education Reform; and Mentor.
