Sure they are. But I used NBA platform to watch and discuss basketball. As a political platform it has absolutely no value to me, I use other platforms for that. I am sure plenty of others share same view, so I think NBA and everyone involved will feel this greatly. This will also greatly reduce the political capital and influence the players have.
Putting political activism in front of their "job", was a mistake imho. Jesse Owens didn't boycott 1936 olympics to protest against nazism - he used the platform to protest.
