Vipa Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 First, there was the dress code, which is alright in my book, but then came this silly "Language" Rule, regarding Players using the "N Word"...Now I'm hearing he wants it where, Stadiums can't play music during the GAMES! What's that!? only crowd noise?Man, anyone who has ever been to a live game can back me up on this. the music really adds to the excitement. Pumps up the crowd and players. The Defense Chant music, ETC ETC ETC...Come on Stern, this is pretty pointless. I sure as hell hope this has nothing to do with the brawl last year, giving the NBA a bad name for a short while.

mfuqua23 Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Even if it seems so, the sport wasn't bad like this in the 90s. It might be the attitudes of players that are getting in the NBA nowadays. They are just trying to pin point some problems they may never find a sure answer to.

kbfprince Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 (edited) Thats so stupid. :jusmindyabizness: It adds to the excitement, it's part of the game and now he's trying to take it away?

MaxFly Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Yeah, Stern is definitely trippin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcpbball30 Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I used to think that David Stern was a good commissioner, but of late, a lot of his ideas have been questionable. Having loud music playing during the game really adds to it and gets the fans pumped up, I don't know why he wouldn't want that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vipa Posted December 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I mean, I dont want to bring race into it, but think about it, what kind of music is played a lot at these games? Pump up jams, and HIP HOP MUSIC. Really makes you think, is Stern trying to steer the NBA away from hip hop? For a while now, the NBA and Rap mmusic have been like a married couple. Everytime you had one, the other wasn't too far away. is he trying to, Figuratively speaking "BReak them up"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcpbball30 Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Yeah, all of his latest moves seem to be anti hip-hop. Ever since the brawl last year, he has been trying to disassociate the league from its hip-hop image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 The NFL's doing the same thing now too sorta since that Janet Jackson incident they're probably not gonna have any artists from the hip-hop generation perform at the Super Bowls for a while, it's unfair how one single incident like that makes everyone look bad, it's unfair, only those who do it should be punished, not everyone...

WesSyde Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 yeah this is really stupid... i just hope it doesn't happen. music, whether its the latest mainstream jam, the rocky theme, or the defense chant adds to the atomosphere of the game and makes attending a game more enjoyable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
