nba to players: 'don't be black'

The NBA (or "National Thug Association", to quote Rush Limbaugh) has instituted a new off-court dress policy, which outlaws "headphones, chains, shorts, sleeveless shirts, indoor sunglasses, T-shirts and jerseys and headwear such as baseball caps", according to this BBC article. Some players are arguing that the code specifically targets hip-hop attire.

Said Allen Iverson:

"Guys wearing those clothes don't want to be wearing those clothes. You've got all these guys with different personalities. Everybody has their own style, and it's just unfair when you take that away from people. They're targeting guys who dress like me, guys who dress hip-hop. Put a murderer in a suit and he's still a murderer. It sends a bad message to kids."
