The NBA has come up with some insane dress policy which will prevent players from throwing down a hip hop look. "Players must wear 'business casual' attire for team activities. If they are not in uniform but are seated on the bench, they are required to wear a sports jacket. No T-shirts, headgear or chains are permitted while on team business."
Amazingly, Charles Barkley appeared on the Tonight Show tonight and said the new policy was "fantastic" because young fans can be influenced negatively by NBA stars: "The problem is, when these young black [fans] go out dressed like that in the real world, they not gonna get jobs."
Say what? Let's not change white perceptions but instead change black culture?
