“please sign and let’s cause some trouble “
All due respect FRiend, life is full of trouble without looking for it.
It will find you.
Fools errand. Better to not pay any attention to the game. Let it starve from lack of white viewers.
” - - - stop all aspects of racism - - - “
First I need to have this question answered: “Is it an act of Racism to accuse someone else of being a racist?”
And we definitely need some affirmative action in hiring. The white b-ball players are vastly underrepresented, and prejudice is the only possible reason in a situation like that.
Fat chance...
Many players such as Charles Barkley and outsiders like Spike Lee have stated that the NBA is a ‘black league’ and regularly put down white players. This is blatant racism.
Racism in the NBA must be ended by making it a more multi=culturally diverse community.
Therefore, the NBA should immediately commence an affirmative action program to ensure that all races are represented in proportion to their percentage of the United States demographics. This will insure that Latinos, Asian-Americans, Native Americans and Caucasian Americans find a place on the court—or they should be taken to Court.
While they are at it, they should pursue affirmative action to include all genders, religions and LBGT persons. There is no reason why a Orthodox Jew or burkha-wearing Muslim woman shouldn’t be on a team that plays in a PUBLICLY owned and financed arena.
The NBA goal must be opportunistic equality instead of equal opportunity.
Well, let’s see who can come up with a private conversation of something caught on tape somewhere. Perhaps even heard at a rock concert or bar. Let’s get it out there.
In my humble opinion Donald Sterling is an obnoxious twit. He is famous for firing (white) head coaches and then refusing to honor their contracts. Because he’s a billionaire, he can outlast his former coaches in legal proceedings which go on for years until the former coach loses what he would have gotten from Sterling, in attorney’s fees. Sterling also funds the NAACP in Los Angeles.
But at the current time, Sterling employs a black head coach (Doc Rivers) and there is only one white player on his team (J.J. Reddick) plus a Eurasian Turk (Hedo Turkoglu), all the rest are black.
The NBA’s actions are akin to a hostile corporate takeover in the rest of the private sector.
