You have a dress-code, but do you HAVE to wear suits everyday? And the NBA is a game while you work for a business.

These guys dont work a 9-5 in an office.  They are athletes.  I think this rule is complete bullshit.  It does come across abit racist to me and I think its a terrible move by the NBA.  Are they going to stop playing rap music in the arenas now and play shit like Bob Dylan and Tom Petty?  What the fuck?  I think part of the reason the NBA is so successful is because the players had the freedom to express themselves and it really appealed to urban society.  The NBA really fucked up with this rule IMO.

Yes. You go to work in a uniform. The athletes go to work in a uniform. They work in their jerseys, that is their uniform. No reason they should wear a suit when they're not working...

If EJ Rizo is going to a  meeting that is job related, can we he wear "street" attire?  When the players are on the sidelines with their teams, team locker rooms, practice facilities, they are still at work.

They wear jerseys, shorts and basketball shoes while they work.  And if they are on the sidelines sitting in a chair, how are they working?  Being a spectator at a basketball game is not considered work in my eyes.

Does that mean that an injured football player should be on the sidelines in a suit and tie?  I dont think so.

If EJ Rizo is going to a meeting he will be under dress code requirements and will still have to wear his work uniform. NBA players can't wear their work uniform (a basketball jersey) when it doesn't apply, such as an arrival to a game, a plane ride, a team gathering, etc.

Plus, it is no surprise really that the NBA has become a type of showing off sport.  A lot of athletes have really taken the showing off part a bit extreme when they attend basketball games or at any public NBA related event.  It's just like the NBA Ballerz game.  It's just better this way



Btw, when you see an injured football player on the sidelines do you see him wearing jerseys with a chain?  He is usually wearing a team affiliated Polo Shirt and Jeans with Tennis Shoes. 


Yes they are still working if they are on the sidelines sitting on the bench.  When they practice its work, when they arrive from the buses its work, when they work out in the practice facilities its work.  They get paid to be with the team

Imagine how much it sucks tryna sleep on a plane. Now imagine how much it would suck tryna sleep on a plane wearing a business suit. This is selfish and unfair to the players. Bottom line.
