How is the NBA equal when African-Americans make up 13% of the population but make up almost 75% of players????

Preaching "equality" while perhaps 4 teams of 30 have a shot at the championship for years to come.

From the images of the crowd in Dallas, they must have had 70% of the seats filled, if that. Was listening to local sports talk this morning, the TV rating for the game was 1.9. That's because the Mavericks haven't won a playoff series in 6 years.

I'm sure the AAC will be full when the Warriors or Spurs play in Dallas, but I can't think of too many others.

I hope I'm around when the current TV contract with ESPN & TNT expires in 2021 or so. They won't be outbidding themselves next time around. Local/regional stations overpaid too. NBA won't go broke, but small market teams are in for a rough ride: the big stars are now divvying up which big market teams they want to play for.

Nobody wants to play in Dallas, so watch the Mavericks revert to a .500 club at best.

The Doctrine of Equality is Communist Doctrine.

When you put equality before freedom, you get neither equality nor freedom. When you put freedom before equality, you get a great deal of both. - - Milton Friedman.

they want equality? Okay...then all NBA rosters will be 75% white, 12% black, and 13% a Hispanic and Asian mix.

Same goes for the NFL. That is true equality.

Too good to be true! Keep it up please keep it up. “Keep kaepernicking until the BLM/NBA is dead. It is racist and deserves to die!”
