Nappy Roots said:my issue is that people think that baggy clothes is "thug life"....its not thug life, its not ghetto, its not ganster or gansta, its just a style. its a style of a **** load of youth in america...thats all it is, a style...
Stern thinks like that, he thinks he needs to change the way they dress cause its thug life, its ghetto, its ganster or gansta....but its not...him thinkin that way is steriotyping.
It is THUG LIFE! It's that same line of thinking in which some people were defending Ron Artest running into the stands and beating up a fan because he threw a cup of ice. Saying he was "disrespected". As a multi-millionare NBA player, who the F' cares if some drunkin fan who you don't know, have never seen, and will never see again, "disrespected" you?! But the "THUG LIFE" in Artest came out and he went after the fan.
A dress code can't take the "THUG" out of the person. But at least it might dress it up a little and be a visual change and send out somewhat of a positive vibe.
And if all of the players are upset, why did they let their Union agree to this? Maybe if they stopped making bad rap albums, appearing in court over child support, and other such nonsense, they would actually have known what is going on with their own job! And they could have nipped this in the bud.
