TonyB, let's be for real here. If come bargaining time, an individual player wants to negotiate a clothing allowance as part of his deal, go for it! Negotating is a critical part of getting what you want in your comp package. We all should be doing that, regardless if you're a CEO, NBA player, or accountant.
But don't say that going shopping for these clothes will now cause them unexpected financial hardship (which is what one player is basically saying).
Are you trying to tell me that these players currently do not own suits, dress slacks, etc.? And let's say for the sake of argument they don't (lol) the price doesn't change that much across the men's department ($150 pair of khakis vs. $150 of sneakers).
And now, these new dress codes are racist.
I'm just speechless for the moment.
