Unquestionably, this will kill professional basketball, and lower the pay of all players.

Who would want to attend such an event, with members not decided by talent, but by race?

Yes!

And a white basketball league too!

But THAT would be racist.

why isn’t excluding white people because they’re white racist?

Lol...great business model. Via racism, reduce your audience by 92%. That will go over well. Have at it fellas...just think: with this mindset pretty soon you could get your own water fountains! “NO WHITE PEOPLE!”

More liberal logic....

Exactly, most people I know already refer to it as thugball, so I suppose they can just throw more crap on tv that I will ignore.

But we can throw any semblance of selectivity and/or inclusiveness out the window now thanks to “mr.” Johnson.

I guess this is one I will happily let them have both ways...

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

The more things change, the more they are the same.

So it’s back to all-black, segregated leagues again.

I guess because the reason is different, it makes it ok.

-——We’ve got a lot of rebellious slaves on this [Knicks] team.”——

So I to assume Mr. Johnson will be returning his salary....since slaves are not paid...

“Black people your Focusing on the wrong thing. We should be focusing on having our own, Own team own League! To For Self!!”

I don't really know where to start, but looking at this statement I think we should question Mr. Johnson's grasp of written English. His use of "your" is incorrect, it should be "you are" or "you're". "To For Self!"? This has no meaning whatsoever.

This guy is an NBA executive? Personally I don't like the NBA much. If it disappeared I would not care. I think Mr. Johnson's idea is great. His new black league should last a couple of years at most.

Wonderful idea. There should be a completely segregated sports league: all the players, coaches, officials, venue owners and staff, and spectators. Knock yourselves out.

I absolutely loath this thug ball sport.

I am not racist though...I feel the same about Hockey.

this lefty owner of the Clippers gets what he has coming, it couldn’t happen to a nicer Obama supporter. But I disagree with the reasons. a private conversation with a trophy girlfriend should not be broadcast to the world. the real question is who made this public and as the California law prohibits recording someone without their knowledge who will get penalized for doing this??

Why not?

Everything else these days is decided that way.
