They should go All Midgets.
They would win about as many games.
They would be much more fun to watch.
They might get a TLC reality show out of it.
Are they drafting them or secretly breeding them?
So. Even if true, what’s the problem. It’s a privately owned business and it wants to make money. If the owners believe they can make a profit with white players, good for them.
How dare anyone else try to play basketball.
Maybe they are looking for fundamentally sound, coachable players who have a BB IQ higher than single digits. In any event, the wisdom of their decision will be reflected in wins and losses.
Unless these white players can compete effectively with the rest of the teams in the league, this is a strategy that is doomed to failure, assuming it’s a strategy at all. Only an idiot would maintain a “white” basketball team simply for the sake of its being white.
Famous sports quote:
"We came here because you've got good, hardworking white people here." -- Calvin Griffith, former owner of the Minnesota Twins, explaining why he decided to move the Washington Senators to Minnesota
It strikes me that somebody who counts the number of black and white players would be more racially motivated...
I would say the proof of whether or not they did the right thing will be the win -lost ratio.
Awesome! My new favourite team!!
The race hustlers have no problems with mnay NBA teams being virtually all black, but when one team gets a lot white players ( and the Wolves white players are very good to excellent) well then that’s racism. I’m a huge bb fan , and if my team (Milwaukee Bucks) turns down the chance to pick up a good player of any color, I’d get mightily irritated. For the record, the Wolves obtained two black players over the off season and made a strong bid to get another star black player. Unfortunately for them the latter’s team made a counter bid and they couldn’t get him. So the Wolves got a white player not quite as good but available. That player has been playing great for them in the preseason. At some time somebody has to call the race-mongers out for what they are.
But if the team’s front office was 10 of 15 black, then that would be ok, right?
It's also REALLY liberal, and we all know how much liberal whites LOVE black people, right, Mr. Edwards?
And blacks have always supported the NHL . . .the PGA (even with Woods)
I’VE BECOME A BIG MINNESOTA TIMBERVOLVES FAN. GO WOLVES
I don’t know if it’s a conspiracy or not, but there will be accountability. Wins and losses judge, and if the team of cracka ass crackas can’t get it done, the GM will get fired.
Perhaps the whiteness is a byproduct of selecting players with other specific characteristics. For instance, maybe the coaches wanted a team with no criminal record, or no illegitimate children. Maybe the team was tired of having ridiculous surnames announced over the loud speaker. Maybe they didn’t want a team of black supremecist thugs who insult the fan base with their words and actions. Or maybe, shock of shocks, these white guys are the best players that the timberwolves can get.
