WATCH: Former NFL Player Gives Answer on ‘Black Lives Matter’ Hardly Anyone Saw Coming

Retired NFL defensive end Marcellus Wiley may soon get a first-hand taste of just how intolerant the left is today, after the host of FOX Sports 1’s “Speak For Yourself” opted to explain why it’s a bad idea for the NBA to paint “Black Lives Matter” on the floor of basketball courts.

In an indication of just how much control prima donna millionaire players have in a league where better than 80% of the players are people of color — the demographics of season ticket holders is the flip side of that, with 85% being white — the NBA said this week social justice messages will be allowed on the backs of jerseys instead of the last names of players during the upcoming restart of the NBA season.

In addition, the NBA reportedly plans to paint “Black Lives Matter” on courts when the season resumes, and Wiley brilliantly articulated why that’s not a good idea.

“It’s not a good idea,” the former NFL player said. “I do want to give players credit for their flex to even get this to be more than an idea, but something that is going to be in reality. I give the players that.” . . .

“But there’s a problem when you start to go down this road of freedom of expression, freedom of speech, and how much social space is allowed for those who don’t support in that same space,” he said. “And that’s where I wonder where this is going to go in terms of identity politics.” (Read more from “WATCH: Former NFL Player Gives Answer on ‘Black Lives Matter’ Hardly Anyone Saw Coming” HERE)
