James Harden’s Blue Lives Matter mask has NBA fans fuming


Houston Rockets player James Harden recently generated criticism on social media while promoting the use of a mask. Both the team and the NBA released photos showing him wearing a neck gaiter over his face, which featured a Thin Blue Line American flag. Harden then explained that he did not know what the design meant; he only wore the mask because it covered his entire beard. Although fans still expressed considerable disappointment in his decision.

When the photos appeared on social media, a crowd of NBA fans responded forcefully. Some called Harden a “boot lick” while others called it a “c-“. Many fans and casual viewers alike defended Harden and said he “had no idea” what the blue line meant. They just assumed that he liked the design. However, these fans were in the minority, as others continued to criticize the Houston Rockets player.
