Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Insults Every Local Basketball Player With Amazing Diss

Major cities around the country have seen people defying stay-at-home orders to go outside. One popular activity has been playing basketball, forcing cities to remove rims to prevent people from playing.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot decided to personally insult local hoopers in order to send a message to stay home and out of the parks.

This is one time when an insult is warranted. The city of Chicago is large enough to where it is tough to police every single basketball court. Lightfoot wants to remind everyone to just stay home and avoid the embarrassment of showing off weak jump shots. Mayors around the country should follow her lead to remind people to stay off the courts.

NO HOOPS? The goal is to keep people from gathering in large groups at playgrounds since the city’s parks are often the setting for pickup basketball games. https://t.co/vIanu3eCrO

Not playing basketball is one sacrifice everyone can make during these strange times. If it is not safe for the NBA to play games, it is probably not a great idea to play at a public park. Hopefully Lightfoot's message is listened to in Chicago and around the country.
