Legendary NBA coach Phil Jackson doesn\u2019t seem to be a fan of games being played on Easter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jackson posted to his X account for the just the second time since 2018 seemingly to criticize the league\u2019s decision to hold games on Easter Sunday as well as its decision to host games on Christmas Day, which has become a marquee day for the sport.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAgain the NBA tests faith by playing multiple games on Christmas and Easter\u2026sacred days,\u201d Jackson wrote.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not the first time Jackson has criticized the NBA, though it does indicate that he\u2019s still keeping an eye on the league despite claiming back in 2023 that he no longer watched because it had become too \u201cpolitical.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
During a 2023 appearance on the \u201cTetragrammaton with Rick Rubin\u201d podcast, Jackson criticized the NBA\u2019s decision to embrace social justice messaging during the 2020 season in the bubble, calling the decision to allow players to wear supporting messages \u201cwanky.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey even had slogans on the floor and the baseline,\u201d he said, while explaining why he didn\u2019t watch the NBA anymore. \u201cIt was trying to cater to an audience or trying to bring a certain audience to the game, and they didn\u2019t know it was turning other people off. People want to see sports as nonpolitical.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cPolitics stays out of the game; it doesn\u2019t need to be there.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for his complaints about the NBA playing on sacred holidays such as Christmas and Easter, it\u2019s unlikely his post will do much to change the stance of the league or its fans, who continue to watch in droves during the holidays.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Also on Sunday, Major League Baseball played a full slate of games and the NHL held three playoff games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Christmas Day has become a battle for eyeballs between the NBA and NFL, which has started to muscle in on what has long been a day for basketball.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
