Pistons boycotting Trump

I'd need to know more specifics. Are they walking around on an NBA court with their uniforms on with anti-Trump signs?

Or are they tweeting and speaking out against Trump?

Basketball players are people and they do get to express their opinions. Granted, their free speech may have repercussions as sponsors pull out, or teams maybe want to avoid a player that seems "noisy".

These players are speaking out and don't care if it costs them money because they believe in something that very important to them.

Because one day you'll spell something wrong but will still want people to consider the meaning of your words.

Maybe they're actually boycotting "tramps"?

Did the Pistons ever stay at a Trump hotel or resort? I was under the impression that most teams have deals with specific hotel chains or hotels, and pretty much always stay at the same places.

Besides which, there aren't very many Trump hotels in cities that host NBA teams. There are a couple in NYC, one in Chicago, one in DC, and one in Toronto.

So... doesn't really matter?
