Maybe gang attire was the wrong word but it was what I heard it called when he wore it. It was not the image the NBA was looking for and they came out against it. I was not really for that change either but understood it. All that is besides the point. Whining about this is dumb.

and westrbook/hibbert/wade's "sense" of fashion is the image they are looking for?
The thing is, their fashion isn't tied to violence like the "gangster" fashion was/is. The NBA didn't want to look like a league of "thugs" and "criminals." If anything, the players are promoting being yourself regardless of what other people think. That's not a bad message for them to be sending to their fans, even if that message is unintentional.
I can see why you had to watch gay porn to decide if you were gay or not.
As long as the players are dressed with appropriate modesty, I don't think it matters what they wear.

Yes, generalize to the entire NBA from a handful of pictures of Westbrook and Wade about how NBA players dress, and then take it further to paint the entire NBA as a bunch of thuggish, prison worthy lowlifes.
You are a frick'n one trick pony who's one trick grew tiresome years ago. Please, go find another forum where people haven't grown tired of your act. Even if they have grow tired of it, please go anyway. Better them than us.

They are covering up areas of the body that the more conservative viewers won't want their kids to see. That should be sufficient.

Everything is money driven the initial rule change was because it made the business's/deep pocketed fans that invest the most money into the teams/NBA uncomfortable. Since this current "fashion statement" doesn't, then the NBA doesn't care, at worst it is giving NBA players (like Wade) to believe he is trend setting fashion or at best as Tony already said, it might be giving some of the younger viewers/fans the confidence or "okay" to dress how they want and not feel bad about it.

Tony explained that the current fashion is not tied to violence like the fashion you are showing. Bottom line is just because you don't like it does not make it wrong. The NBA is a business and wanted their players' dress to not make them look like thugs. They were having enough problems because a lot of them actually were thugs and kept getting arrested. The dress code was made to limit the amount that they actually look that way. Agree or not it's their business.

You seem to be the only person with a problem with the current fashion of the players.
