NBA Dress Code
Trauma-san:
You guys are all a bunch of fucking CHILDREN. It's not even a SUIT, nothing says suit! Where does it say suit? It says Business Casual. Do you know the difference between Business Casual, and a suit? If you don't, then you're not a man. In 1960 this would not even be a discussion. Nobody would think of showing up to work, even at a basketball arena, in anything less than Business Casual.
A polo shirt isn't comfortable? A Turtleneck ins't comfortable? A tucked in dress shirt isn't comfortable? What the fuck is wrong with you people?
Khaki pants aren't comfortable? Lace up shoes aren't comfortable?
Do you guys REALLY walk around in a T-shirt, Jeans, and sneakers all day? Are you going to do that the rest of your life?
If I made 10 mill a year I'd wear a fucking TUX to that job.

It's not ironic at all. Do you even know what the word "ironic" means? There's absolutely nothing about that that's ironic.
To explain it better, let me also point out that Basketball is played indoors on a parquet floor; football is played outdoors on the grass. If you had half a fucking brain, you wouldn't expect a man standing on a grass football field to wear dress shoes, and you can't wear a business suit if you're wearing sneakers.
Indoors, on a waxed wood floor, it's a fucking BRILLIANT idea to have people wear Business Casual attire.

Most NBA players come from the ghetto. That's what they're used to, they're not trying to change who they are but the NBA is. And the players don't have a problem with dressing up nice but making them wear suits on the plane ride, when they enter the arena, when they're injured and on the bench, during interviews.

There's your problem. A Racist Mentality. Just because they're blacks from the ghetto, they can't be expected to dress nice, right? We should expect them to dress like thugs.
They don't have to wear suits. Re-phrase the lies you're spewing on people. they don't have to wear suits. Nobody is required to wear a suit, they're required to wear khakis and a polo shirt. Think about that for a minute. You've got a problem with THAT? When they enter the arena, they're WORKING. When they're on the bus, they're out representing their company, they're WORKING.
If you don't like your job, leave. I agree with that.

Explain to me what irony is then you fag. And for your information the 49ers coach wanted to wear a suit on the sidelines and they wouldn't allow him.

I always wear t-shirts and sneakers. I don't feel comfortable in polo shirts and dress shoes, alot of NBA players probably feel the same way. And explain to me how that's a racist mentality.
