Over the last several days I've heard everything from its a good idea to its a bad idea and its racist, of course all have their opinions. On the outside I can only use analogies to things that relate to me, hence my comments, if my job asks me to demonstrate a certain dress code or attire while performing company business, then I have no problem with that, but if my job thinks that what I wear to get to the job is any of their concern that's another thing. If NBA players are at a jersey signing function, then yes, dress code should be enforced, but while the NBA player is on his way to the signing he should be able to wear what he wants. How about I dictate what you wear to and from work, just something to think about. Also don't the NBA players already have a very strict dress code? They MUST wear a proper uniform while performing their jobs, which includes among other things, wearing their jerseys tucked in their shorts. Their job is not what they wear walking to the arena but how they perform on the arena court, and that's where the dress code should be observed.
These are opinions of Theron of the TRSQ and just that, opinions, these views are not to offend or disrespect but only to open the inner mind to new perspectives.

Good analogy. I think the dress code controversy exists only because it stands between a player's "image" and "professionalism" which the commission has been battling with and trying to uphold as a result of past incidents that has been displayed in the media amongst athletes. (Take for instance, the recent NFL incident with Minnesota). Professional sports as we know it, is a big business. And, as in any corporate arena those with the most power has the biggest influence to dictate what they feel is right for their "corporate culture". Its all in the numbers. If every player conducted themselves off the court like they had "common sense" then I believe there would be no need for a dress code.
