Can someone please tell me what Stephen A. Smith of ESPN's "First Take" had to say about the selling of the Clippers, and the particulars of what he said?

Perhaps if the want to be a “black league” so much, then they no longer need merchandise or ticket money from white folks?

The NBA may not be the least multi-racial major league but its far from the most multi-racial.

MLB and the NFL are clearly the two most diverse major league sporting associations.

The sale will be tied up in court for years. Silver will regret starting this farce. The only winners are lawyers.

Now Political Correctness is Law. It is now illegal to be an a$$hole in America. The designation will be subjective to those who are offended and the perp is guilty until his/her penance is done through punishment based on the level of offense the offended have emotionally displayed with the aid of our statist media. Punishment can be anything from shame to loss of property, wealth and prison at the hands of organizations, media whores, government and special interest groups.

The old fart is a racists relic, no doubt. But we all better watch what we say, Freedom of Speech is intrinsically dead.

It was Larry Johnson who wanted the NBA to become segregated. I don’t think Charles Barkeley had anything to do with it. I am not aware of anything from Charles that makes me think he’s a racist like Larry Johnson.

If I was a Knicks fan, I would totally stop supporting the team in any way until they get rid of Larry Johnson, who by his comments is the face of the Knicks right now.

This “Can of Worms” has yet to be fully explored and adjudicated. There are a lot of Constitutional questions involved. A lot!

Like it or hate it:

Let the blacks have the NBA, from top to bottom,

AND

let them , ALONE, fill the seats.

I’ll watch that Titanic sail, waving gladly.

Adam Silver is a slimy little weasel. So is Barkley.

I understood Barkley’s meaning, and it did not offend me that he said it. If 8 of 10 residents in a subdivision are black, you’d call it a black neighborhood. If the owner and most employees of a company are black, you’d call it a black business. No harm, no foul.

I don't know, but the nest worthwhile thing Stephen A. Smith has to say about anything will be his first.
