Actually it’s changing, a lot more Euro players are coming into the league.

Here in Dallas, everybody is raving about Luka Doncic. I already see huge posters of him downtown.

It is a bit for sure. Still ridiculously lobsided, and the NFL is worse.

Absolutely right - another Solyndra probably.

Question is: will anyone fend off the accusations of ‘racist’ and stop the obvious charade?

I didn’t think so.

What’s funny is that after the Mavs traded a bunch of black players to get Porzingis from the Knicks, the cries of “Racism” started flying. Especially when the word got out that the Mavericks are also trying to target Nikola Vucevic in the off-season.

Not sure how this’ll work. It should be something “organic” with Africans coming up with their own pro leagues, if there’s money in it

Yep. Black males are 6 percent of the population but it’s racism if they aren’t 70 percent of an NFL or NBA team. It’s a disgrace. The recruiters and universities have destroyed the hopes of many a white kid’s dreams. Yet they import whites from Eaurope!

Hopefully he’ll go there, and get Ebola, or something just as devastating.

I saw tape of him doing that. He missed the basket about 25 times in a row.
