No share of revenue 2nd year your team under 50% would shake up the NFL welfare system, wouldn’t it?

In fact, this weekend is the “Richest Game In Sports”......Derby County and QPR are playing in the Championship Playoff, with the winner going to the Premier League next season.....It literally means over $100 million for the winning team.

Are you suggesting that this could be a capitalist system...that winners win and that losers lose? :>)

LaBron James is paid a fortune by white men to play basketball. If not for those white men paying him he would probably be working in a Walmart warehouse.

Back in the 70s about 99% of black basketball players graduated from college and could actually carry on an intelligent conversation. It has now been taken over by high school gangbangers that if not for basketball they would be snorting cocaine and drinking Colt 45 the majority of the time.

In 1984 29% of black college basketball players graduated. From a report on line NCAA grad rates. Trends

What is your source for the 70s?

“What is your source for the 70s?”

I was basically talking about basketball players leaving early for the draft. Very few did this until the 80s. And freshmen definitely could not enter the draft. The gangbangers took over the league league about 10 years ago. Even Rodman when he first started playing for Detroit was not plastered in tattoos. Now you’ll he hardpressed to find a black player or white player that not covered in them, and of course the majority of the black players shave their head.
