I don’t support racist efforts like this. Period.
I’m considering starting a new stock car racing circuit with all black drivers in Cadillacs.
Escalades. Gotta be Escalades.
This is crazy. An owner is secretly taped saying something stupid. And the firestorm dominates the news. And part of the reaction is that someone wants an all black league.
Would such a league survive? With only blacks involved, meaning only black fans, and black owners, and showing games only on black owned cable networks? Thinking all this through, I think they may rethink this idea, if it was ever serious in the first place.
If it did happen, in about 3 or 4 generations, those blacks would be claiming segregationist discrimination and would be suing for integration.
This is somewhat similar to the pattern that was used to segregate schools after The Civil War.

If they are segregated, they complain and demand integration.
If they are integrated, they complain and demand segregation.

I could not care less about the sport of basketball - so as an outside observer, it would be very interesting to watch the process, debate and societal hand-wringing if black players themselves chose to create a “black NBA.”
The vast majority of fans who purchase tickets are white. How profitable would a strictly black league be?
Would it be racist for a white person not to buy a season ticket to an all black league?
LOLOL
So then, if all this was known, how it is that so many black players and coaches voluntarily signed contracts to play and work for the L.A. Clippers???? Does good money override everything else????
And what about the NAACP award Sterling was going to get? In spite of what we have heard, didn’t he do some good things for the black community, if he was going to be honored? In other words, is there a “balance sheet” in which he has pluses and well as minuses with race relations? And would that balance sheet really say he’s 100% bigot?
I don’t want them to rethink this. If blacks want an all-black league, GO FOR IT !
Yes it would be racist for whites not to buy tickets to support a black league.
What’s next for these geniuses? Segregated schools?
Whites would form their own league. Sooner or later, blacks would want to play in the white league.When they are denied,they will claim discrimination.
You know what? For once I’d support Larry Johnson’s idea. I’d like to see the END RESULT of this...
