Music, Gangs, and the NBA

Sports encourages us to pin our hopes on individuals or corporate entities, known as teams, and experience the joy of mob mentality while cheering them on to Wholesale Jerseys victory.The first question one must ask in this controversy is why is a professional sport having a problem with music at all?

Critics charge the NBA got into this controversy by exploiting hip-hop to draw crowds into the arena to be a part of this environment.Rappers are not only basketball fans but have moved into the realm of corporate sponsors and team owners.However, when controversy enters the realm of sports it has the ability to dampen all of those positive aspects and make us want to spend our time escaping through something else.Actually, music as a lot to do with it.That allows us escape from our work and school in daily life and gives us a chance to focus on something other than the bills on the desk or the work waiting to be done.Nowhere has that become more evident than in the NBA's controversy with hip-hop Demaryius Thomas Jersey music.Either way, the baggage that comes with hip-hop music: its roots from being a street form of expression and its current concerns about lyrics involving misogyny, violence and social unrest create an unlikely connection to an American iconic sport.Their videos, merchandise and relationships with high-profile players have brought the world above the rim onto the major stage.What's music got to do with it?Our preoccupation with sports comes from all the good they can give to us.Other say that because hip-hop has its roots in the African-American community which currently dominates professional basketball, it was a natural link.

It allows us to marvel at

the feats the human body can achieve with training, practice and strategy.Other than playing songs before and during games, what does music have to do with basketball?
