The rest is just noise

February 20, 2007

645 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, New York City

There is a magnificent building here called NBA Headquarters.

Buildg), it is the main administrative and operational center of the NBA league. The NBA headquarters building also houses the NBA league's administrative offices, players union, NBA media company, NBA International and other institutions.

It can be said that this is the "home base" of the NBA.

A press conference for the national media initiated by Louis, as well as the Celtics' appeal of serious unfair penalties in recent games will also be held here.

In addition to Louis, various executives from the Celtics Basketball Operations Department will also attend, such as Patrick Ewing, the team's minor owner and president of the team's operations department, Vice President and General Manager Larry Bird

, Joe Dumas, Vice President and Director of Sales, TaraBk, Director of Marketing, Leah Davis, Director of Finance, KellerJas, Director of Human Resources...you can see,

Except for those in charge of basketball operations, almost all other department heads in the Celtics management are women.

This is the result of the "gender equality and diversity" strategy that Louis established a few years ago.

Before the press conference began, Louis teased Ewing: "Patrick, what do you think of your formation of a black-free team?"

"I don't know anything!" Ewing said. "Besides, there are no white people outside your team. It's just an injury. Can I blame you?"

At that time, Tucker Bella, the director of the marketing department, joked in a very rough voice: "The boss may think that he has nipped in the bud."

Previously, several reporters outside the NBA circle asked a few basketball questions.

"It's a bad thing. Did you understand his question? What did he mean when he said that you are treating more and more white players in the Lanxin team?"

In fact, Ewing really wanted to make the plan that Maas implemented originally only make the operations department more negative, and also brought in many monsters, such as the "man" with the handle-Tara Baker.

Masre smiled, don't you even have that kind of problem?

"Don't mention this book to you!" Ewing said on behalf of Mas, "You can't say that. (Pointing to Mas) Without that woman, you wouldn't be where you are today. You can't be more grateful to me. That's right.

Nothing can be changed by a book, some rumors and a bunch of adults who hate gossiping!"

Mazzetti looked at Mas suspiciously.

"Thank him, Laura." Mas then looked at the reporters at the scene and whispered, "You don't have 50% male employees and 20% LBGT employees. Apart from Americans, there are no Chinese or Greeks on the team.

, Georgians, Russians, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Argentines, Spaniards. The Louis Vuitton team is not only the best team in the history of NBA in terms of equal rights, but also the least diverse and most diverse team in the history of sports.

An inclusive team. No matter what, you will accept all accusations of racism and for this reason, you will use all means to protect the reputation of the club! That is not why you are sitting out there today!"

"Yes," Lan Xin explained. "According to the 114 rule introduced by the league in the summer of 2005, each NBA team cannot decide after the end of the season whether to exceed the 15-man limit for players on the small list. Once it is exceeded, it will be deemed

To activate Rule 114. Any team that activates this rule can sign any free agent after the start of the season."

Mazzetti has something to say.

That kind of discrimination and suppression is frustrating and helpful to you. You have tried to express your abilities, but we still consider your gender identity and sexual orientation to be abnormal. Fortunately, you have received the Lanxin

Career Opportunities. Outside of that, your colleagues are very supportive and acknowledging of your gender identity and sexual orientation. We appreciate your abilities and contributions as a person, but rather evaluate you based on your gender identity and sexual orientation. In

In addition, you feel that you cannot truly express yourself, but you have to worry about discrimination and suppression.

"Fairness versus team needs?" Maas said. "When you come back to Boston, the Louisettes are not in a position to

The bottom, ranking last year after year, the ball market is depressed, and fans avoid you. In the first year you returned to Boston, you withdrew from the preseason. In the previous seven years, you reached the Eastern Conference finals eight times and won the championship once.

It’s not about those players. Mr. Lanhinde, what does he think is the most practical thing outside the sports world?”

Lan Xin continued: "Besides this, have you paid attention to any powerful groups that need more attention?"

David Brooks of the New York Times asked Maas: "Have the Lewes considered signing a few white players to increase racial diversity on the team?"

The scene was filled with silence.

"The literal meaning."

No great man has ever said that truth becomes clearer with more debate.

About half an hour ago, Jason Stanton, a white reporter wearing a "white pride" dog tag, stood up and asked: "Coach Road and the Lanshinters may be racist, but Boston

The doubtful influence of conservatism and segregationism on the Lewes continues to this day (I mentioned a small number of cases of Boston and Lewes being conservative and white-biased). Today, the fact that there are no white players on the Lewes team has not been established.

, in order to prevent that from happening, in order to get rid of that backward conservatism and segregationism, don’t the Lewisites have plans to break those old rules?”

The Lewes need an explanation for why the calls in the past seven games have been so biased? Your voice makes Ewing's hair stand on end.

Fewer and fewer reporters stood up to ask questions, but there seemed to be fewer troublemakers like Lin Enga.

Mazzetti is determined, you are sure, but not 20% at least.

Masre laughed and said: "He said that the conservative and closed-minded Louis Vuitton basketball operations department does not have more than 70% male employees. Just the staff around you, you are all the directors of various departments of the team, you are the new era.

Excellent men are definitely above these self-proclaimed elite women in terms of ability, but they are not appreciated in other companies."

"Lan Hinde Tokel? Doesn't that person have anything bad to say?" Mas asked with a sarcastic smile, "Everyone here, none of them counts, who can guarantee that the colleagues around him are completely satisfied with themselves? You have been since 1978

It’s been 30 years since you retired from professional basketball, and no one except Stanton Tokel thinks you’re a racist?”

No if, what I am involved in is definitely sports.

Ewing doesn't understand why a woman would make a man gay in the name of homosexuality. I'm disgusted by this, but I also recognize Tara's professional ability. Since Tara took over the marketing department of Lanxin, Louisette

People's marketing work is getting worse and worse. While the fan base is steadily increasing, it also has the support of a small group of fans.

"Explain it."

Lynn said hurriedly: "Are you selecting existing players based on fairness and team needs, or are you selecting players based on their skin color?"

Garcia shook his head and said: "The rules are not decided by the alliance. It is decided by the entire alliance. You can set this precedent for the Luites."

"Now, friends from the media, I cannot stop asking questions."

Lan Xin suddenly discovered that it was Muto Yugi who summoned the White Mage, but I gathered the seven cards of Exodia to directly seal the victory.

Lin Enga looked at Ewing next to Maas, "Patrick Ewing once wrote in the book "When the Garden was the Garden of Eden"

We know what Mas is planning to do.

“Do they think that’s conservative and open enough?”

However, Lan Xin suspected that there were not many people outside the group who were ready to wait until the end to ask questions. Brooks then looked at Lynn Garcia: "Will the league be more open to the Louisians so that we can't temporarily sign a player?"

Two free agents to increase racial diversity on the roster?”

Then, Baker, who was completely dressed as a man, opened his mouth, causing some reporters who were not so interested in you to give up: "Your name is Laura Baker. As a transgender homosexual, you will often suffer discrimination and suppression in the future. You have been

Working in a company, your colleagues only discriminate against your gender identity and often mock you.

Laughing at your sexual orientation. We will discuss disparaging remarks about homosexuality behind your back, leaving you feeling very hurt.

However, a reporter named Mark Mazzetti asked Maas a very pointed question: "Coach Lu, since you returned to Boston, the number of white players in Louisville has been increasing day by day. Is that a coincidence?

?Is it an accident that until you become the coach again, there are only two unusable white players on the team? Stanton Tokel once said on the TV show that he used the 'N' word racist towards me

Vocabulary, he has nothing to say about it?"

There was silence.

"Jason, what he said is only half right. Boston is indeed conservative, and there are not a small number of conservatives in the city, but the Lanxin people are the same." Mas asked, "He is from the White Pride Newspaper. You want to ask, who are they?"

Are there not many male reporters and writers in the newspaper?"

Previously, NBA vice president Lynn Garcia, who was considered Stern's successor, attended a press conference.

However, Carter used politician-like demagogy to describe the history of equal rights for the Lewisites and weakly demonstrated why the Lewisites were racist.

After facing the facts, Lin Enjia could not continue to pester, so I turned to the first question, "About Stanton Tolanxin"

So I answered various questions with a serious look on my face and waited patiently.

You are a homosexual who is biologically female but identifies as male. In your words, you are a transgender homosexual.

The Lanxin people have given you new hope and opportunities. You cannot work and live in a more tolerant and humiliating environment. You doubt that as long as you continue to work hard, you will not find a place in that world where you are accepted and recognized.

, you should be subject to any form of discrimination and suppression."

Before Carter finished speaking, Lynn Garcia said: "You are not aware of the demands of the Louisians. Your staff will review the penalties of the past seven games sloppily. At the beginning of the press conference, you will give

process result."

That press conference had a profound impact on the NBA, and it was Michael Carter, the head of public relations for the Louis Vuitton, who first questioned the league.

"It's a failure, Mr. Lanxinde. Failure is the most practical thing that meets the needs of the team and is fair. Those players not only proved their own strength, but also proved the vision of you and your colleagues." Mas asked rhetorically.

, "Mr. Lanhinde, based on the results achieved by the Louisians, he said that you selected players based on fairness and practical principles?"

Lan Xin had dealt with the Times as a teenager, but Brooks was very unfamiliar.

The more regressive the press conference becomes, the more credible the accusations of alleged racism by Lansing and Lansing people become.

"Then we want them to describe themselves as conservative and closed-minded Louisians. Although you don't have 50% male employees, you are still conservative."

Maas looked at Laura Baker, the director of his marketing department, "Laura, please introduce yourself. Maas looked at Lan Hinde sharply - I have heard of that person's name. His specialization is a national danger.

He is also a writer and has won the Pulitzer Prize. He never expected that he would be so cold-hearted as a Louise.
