  1. This has nothing to do with voting. It has to do with getting a paid day off.

  2. Am so glad I came across Maskoffweb they helped me with a legit PayPal transfer of over $14,000

  4. 2 questions…

    1. The NBA said this would help voters across the United States who are eligible to vote to register their opinions at polling places or by mail. Last time I checked, the NBA has the Toronto Raptors who are Outside of the United States. The league can say that the Raptors need to get an election message out, but Canadian Elections are different than our elections. How on Earth can the NBA and the Toronto Raptors use a message on their platforms to encourage Civic Engagement for elections in Canada and in the United States?

    2. Does the NBA recognize that many Raptors fans who are not Americans might not understand a message that only includes information for elections in the United States coming from a Canadian Basketball Team in a U.S.-Based League?

  5. Great news! Though, many Americans love handouts and victim hood mentality, so many will keep voting Dem.

  6. Will they report how many players took the opportunity to vote? Of course not. Pound sand NBA, you have been garbage since Jordan left the Bulls.

  7. Uh, don't their games start after the polls close? Maybe I'm wrong since I haven't watched a game in this century.

  8. NBA is hoping they all vote woke it will backfire

  9. ⭐️⭐️⭐️TRUMP2024⭐️⭐️⭐️

  19. Republicans are going to accuse the NBA of getting political now. 🤣🤣😂😂
