I love that my passion for basketball finally has actual worker shit worth talking about. The NBA player union has historically not gotten as much power as the baseball Union. Many believe it to be due to the players being mostly Black.

Basketball players are generally better paid than most grunts at factories or in the service industry, and one would assume have more in the bank to keep them afloat while not working.

And professional basketball is a very specialized skill that cannot be replaced at the drop of a hat, whereas in any other industry the bosses can throw temps at the wall until the strikers run out of money and fold.

So I appreciate what they are doing, but its not an ideal for many workers.
