 Company to let Utah Jazz suite remain empty over NBA's 'political propaganda' | KUTV

 Calling recent actions by NBA players, coaches, and the league itself "almost beyond expression," a Utah company plans to let its licensed suite at Vivint Smart Home Arena to "remain dark and unused" as a response.

SME Steel Contractors sent a letter to Utah Jazz owner Gail Miller expressing "disappointment and disillusionment" with the recent actions done by the league in the aftermath of May's killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

The company says it has spent "approximately $6 million" by licensing a full suite to all home games since 1992.

The letter -- signed by CEO Craig Moyes, owner Jerry Moyes, President Dieter H. Klohn, and VP of finance Gordon K. Holladay -- begins with a breakdown of SME Steel's history with the Jazz before explaining why the company is taking such actions.

    Why aren't there more white kids on professional basketball teams, because the blacks would have to "carry" them, well, welcome to affirmative action.
