It reminds me more of professional wrestling or roller derby. They are all trying to make themselves seen as a relevant sport.
People don’t see the value in the on-the-court product as demonstrated by the ratings over the years. So they are now trying to create any buzz to get people to watch and that is to make it about race.
From the players throwing down each other on the court to creating racial animosity off the court.
As long as they get attention they will do it ue with these racial antics. But, if we ignore them then they will go the way of either wrestling or the roller derby.
Or lingerie football...
