Must not support the police

'I thought it looked cool!' Houston Rockets star James Harden said he didn't intend to make a political statement after he sparked outrage by wearing a 'pro-police flag mask' in photos released by the NBA

Both the Houston Rockets and the NBA Twitter accounts shared official photos of Harden in a blue and black mask which featured a skull graphic. Many speculated that the garment was a 'blue patriot mask', which has connotations with white supremacist and far-right movements

Harden addressed the outrage Friday saying he did not intend to make a political statement, and only wore the mask because he thought it 'looked cool'
