Warren Buffett on reputation
It takes 20 years to build a reputation and 5 minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.

Kevin Duffy on the politicization of the NBA: "We're living in the Matrix"
The NBA has done irreparable damage to their brand. Credibility takes a long time to build, but can be lost overnight. What David Stern created, Adam Silver destroyed by toeing the official line.
The politicization of the NBA was predictable because the franchise enjoys a symbiotic relationship with government, including subsidies for lavish sports arenas. These subsidies (payed by the taxpayer) go into the pockets of billionaire owners and millionaire players. Welfare for the rich.
Instead of being grateful, they insult the very people who support them. Worse, they insult our intelligence promoting a bogus cause. (If anyone who worked for the NBA, TNT or ESPN condemned black communities for disproportionately high levels of fatherless families and violent crime, they'd be fired in a heartbeat. "Action" always means extracting more money from the hapless taxpayer and never taking responsibility.)
The official narratives don't just stop at BLM. If you're in a bubble, and everyone is testing negative for Covid and young and healthy, why the incessant mask-wearing? Why is a young, attractive female reporter wearing a mask when she's practically the only person in the gym? This is nothing more than cramming more of the official propaganda down our throats. It's not even subtle.
