It's hard to put rules or restrictions because so many teams have their own "traditions" or "rituals" for their own rookies #kin110

And then it can go to the extremes like this article on the New York times mobile.nytimes.com/2012/04/15/edu… #kin110

Being apart of hazing can change your prospective on it, can be completely harmless like my rookie treatment #kin110

The NBA is known for being one of if not the most political pro sport for many reasons #Kin110Lab5 @KIN110UofR

@senadebs NBA rules! What do you think??

@senadebs I think he did the most politically correct thing, saying he didn't disapprove of what they did, while saying they should follow..

@senadebs the commissioner didn't say he approved or disapproved! just said the players would not be fined! bossip.com/1076126/for-di…

people can get behind athletes because a lot of people see them as living out their dreams and live vicariously through them! #KIN110lab5

The t shirts were not mandatory by the NBA the players just came together and wore them for warm ups! #kin110lab5

When Eric Garner was strangled the NBA players also took action for black lives by all wearing "I can't Breathe" shirts #Kin110lab5

when trayvon martin was killed numerous NBA teams and arguably the most popular NBA player in todays world reacted thenation.com/article/trayvo…

its important for athletes to be active in whats happening in the world due to how many young kids look at them as role models #kin110Lab5

@Diego_1424 @KIN110UofR even if the NFL did come to Can, they would go to T.O for the closeness to America! Taking away a major CFL Team!

nationalpost.com/m/wp/blog.html… good article talking about why the Grizzlies failed in Vancouver and probably will never come back! NBAinVan

The NBA is already well established in North America and just like the NFL is interested in globalization! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_Globa… #NBAinVan

As well the NBA seems to have more interest in the globalization of their brand with games in Europe, Mexico, and Brazil #NBAinVan

The success the Super Sonics had was much more greater than the Grizzlies ever had including NBA championship in 1979! #NBAinVan

The gap between the Canadian marketVSAmerican market in terms of basketball is still way to large for anyone to take the risk #NBAinVan

As long as Seattle does not have an NBA team Its hard to see anyone bringing a team to Vancouver #NBAinVan
