Guys, the major sports leagues, MLB, NFL, NBA are teaming up to put a STOP to hate!
At least temporarily.
From Adam Schefter of ESPN:
Bob Kraft, best known for owning the Patriots and visiting a sketchy massage parlor that gives sexual favors, is going to call a "timeout" on racism and hate.
Because the "Stop HATE" helmets and end zone paint did such a good job the last time?
To reach as many sports fans as possible, Kraft has teamed up with commissioners Rob Manfred of Major League Baseball; Don Garber of Major League Soccer; Adam Silver of the National Basketball Association; Cathy Engelbert of the Women's National Basketball Association; Roger Goodell of the National Football League; Gary Bettman of the National Hockey League; Jessica Berman of the National Women's Soccer League; and Steve Phelps of NASCAR to help create ads featuring leaders and top athletes. Those ads will play across all major leagues through the rest of the year.
All the big dogs want to make sure that "hate" is in the front of your mind at all times while you catch the game.
In every league.
(NBA Commissioner Adam) Silver added that it was startling to hear multiple speakers in the meeting address the increased amount of hate many communities are facing.
'While this country of course has made tremendous progress in so many ways, when you line up the data, and whether it's antisemitism, anti-Muslim hate, anti-Black, anti-LGTBQ, that the data, as Robert is saying, is scary, you know, when you see the direction that this country's been going in in the last few years,' he said.
I see this going like the Stop Asian Hate campaign. It'll disappear once someone asks who is doing the hate.
But not until these woke leagues milk this election-year virtue signal for all it's worth!
Here are a few of the best responses.
For real, what if it's just a 30-second timeout?
It'll work this time!
Let's go!
Effective!
Don't you know that it's the #CurrentYear?
Shaq called a timeout. We can all rest well.
