In railing against pro athletes who kneeled in protest during the national anthem last summer, Donald Trump rued that the NBA, specifically, had turned into a “political organization.”

But within the quartet of major American professional sports leagues, the NBA’s aversion to K Street lobbying has made it the prohibitive Washington outsider.

This was confirmed anew in the most recent lobbying disclosures that are filed quarterly with the House Clerk and Secretary of the Senate. For the period ending March 31, Major League Baseball and the NFL each revealed lobbying expenditures of $310,000… While lavishing far less, the NHL still put $30,000 to work in the first quarter.

But it was basically bupkis from pro sports’ hardcourt faction, in keeping with its pattern over the last six years.
