Well, what other groups make up 5% of the population and get corporate logos changed in recognition of that group?

About 5% of Americans watched the NBA finals, did brands go out of their way to make NBA fans feel included?

Do news shows bring on their NBA correspondent to talk about NBA issues?

The reason for that is NBA fans were not specifically and generally excluded from various societal institutions. The level of public show is an effort not just to recognize inclusion but normalize it. Any attempted change in societal behavior takes concerted effort. For NBA fans (and numerous other small groups) -- there is no change needed.

~12% of American women will get breast cancer, which is about 6% of Americans. And during October there is just as much pink as there are rainbows in June.

Yes? The fact that you're even asking this question is mind-boggling.

> Do news shows bring on their NBA correspondent to talk about NBA issues?

There's this little thing on the news program every single day called "The sports segment", where they talk about sports. There are entire channels devoted to sports.

Are you not in the US? Do you not consume any US media? This entire line of comparison makes no sense whatsoever.

Yes? Advertisers always market to sports fans.

When did google rebrand itself in NBA finals rainbows?
