Got to attend the Celebrity Game and Rookie Game. I honestly wasn’t expecting much, but it made me feel like a kid again. It was a great time.
Unfortunately, Utah still struggling with the don’t be racist initiative. As this was happening, I literally said “this is gonna be racist”. And it was the least surprising thing ever.

I guess Sexton's hamstring injury wasn't serious.

The one thing I realized from being there is that this was put on by the league, but the venue was in SLC. If you didn’t see the jerseys in the rafters, you wouldn’t know you were in Utah. This was evident as soon as you walked in to the arena and heard F words in songs. Never heard that in Vivint ever. Maybe the people who work as ushers and concessions and janitorial are the same, but that’s it. It wasn’t the Jazz putting on an event for the league — it was the league putting on an event in SLC. If there’s a problem with what happened there, one can be embarrassed for Utah all they want, but this wasn’t their party, if the concern is how this looks for them.They do this dumb crap at nearly every stadium in the US, and this is the first time I've ever heard outrage about it.
On another note, I haven't been to a Jazz game in a decade or so, but is this something that they even do there normally? I've seen games on League Pass where instead of going to commercial the camera stays on inside the arena, and I've seen putting contests, a Press Your Luck game, a "Guess Where the Logo Is on the Back of Three Moving Coins" game, people showing their shoes, random people dancing, etc. But I don't remember ever seeing this one.
If the Jazz don't normally do this, is this even them at this point? Or is this something the NBA did themselves?
Too much nuance… verdict is in… Utah racist AF.The one thing I realized from being there is that this was put on by the league, but the venue was in SLC.
