Has the NBA finally turned off voters?

A few months ago, the Golden State Warriors refused to go to the White House to join President Trump for a championship celebration.   They met with former President Obama instead.   
Yes, it’s a free country but should everything be about politics?  The White House visit goes back years.  It’s about honoring a championship team, not about playing politics.
The NBA has been very politically in your face, to say the least.   Let’s look back at some examples:  
Carmelo Anthony marched in a Baltimore protest over the death of Freddie Gray in April.
LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Derrick Rose and others wore shirts that said “I can’t breathe” to protest the death of Eric Garner in December.
The Los Angeles Clippers turned their shirts inside out to hide the logo to protest racist statements made by owner Donald Sterling in 2014.
The Miami Heat wore hoodies in solidarity with Trayvon Martin in 2012.
And the Phoenix Suns wore “Los Suns” jerseys to protest a controversial Arizona immigration law in 2010.     
I don’t know of too many fans who want to get lectured about politics when they drop $100 to go to a game.
A day ago, I learned that NBA TV ratings are down.   In fact, they’ve sunk to “new lows.”
To be fair, maybe they play too many playoff games or people are not watching TV like they used to.
At the same time, maybe they’ve turned off a lot of guys like me.  Again, I don’t really care LeBron James thinks, specially when he is not even playing up to his potential.

Citizenship and census?

Since becoming a US citizen a many years ago, I've always been very proud to say that I am a citizen of the US.

After all, this wonderful country opened its doors and gave me a chance to realize my potential.

My life would have been very different if I stayed in Cuba. I learn this everytime that I talk to someone from the island.

The Supreme Court is looking into whether or not the citizenship question should be asked as part of the census.

A new poll from ScottRasmussen.com reports that "73% BELIEVE CITIZENSHIP QUESTION IS APPROPRIATE FOR CENSUS".


Put me down with the 73%.  What's the issue?  Why shouldn't we ask such a question?
