Manifesto

A Manifesto for Hoop Aficionados

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all hoop aficionados are created equal, endowed by the game with certain unalienable rights, that among these are the thrill of creative programming, the integrity of accurate and respectful coverage, the depth of insightful analysis, and the joy of fellowship.

To celebrate these rights, communities are formed among fans, deriving their passion from the very essence of the game. Whenever any form of fandom becomes destructive to the unity of our sport, it is the right of the fans to alter or abolish it and to institute a new era of appreciation, laying its foundation on principles of sportsmanship, respect, creativity, and love for the game.

We, therefore, the fans and content creators of basketball, assembled in unity, appealing to the purity of our love for the game, do solemnly publish and declare that this community ought to be free and independent, that we owe no allegiance to negativity or division, and that we will continue to support, respect, and uplift every player, coach, and fellow fan who shares our passion.

And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the spirit of the game, we mutually pledge to each other our dedication, our respect, and our unwavering love for basketball.
