Phil Jackson, the legendary NBA coach, has revealed that he hasn't been watching much basketball since the NBA Bubble in Orlando, which he found too political. Jackson criticized the league for allowing social justice messages on the backs of players' jerseys and slogans on the court, saying it was catering to a certain audience and turning off fans who wanted politics out of sports. He believes that sports should remain non-political and that players' politics should stay out of the game.
