If the NBA had allowed him to stay with his views, it would hurt the entire brand.
...come now...if every sports league that ever existed decided to eject every miscreant owner that has ever sullied that league’s good name, a revolving door would be necessary...many owners have run their teams into the ground with lousy management, thus creating a perception and financial drain on the league, and none have been subjected to public humiliation over it...
...face it...this situation arises purely from the ox who’s getting gored being a favorite ox of the social elite caste...or do you suppose that some black owner suggesting, in the privacy of his own home, whites be kept from attending his arena would be similarly reviled in the public eye...?
...if so, you would be supposing incorrectly...
You know..I hear right wing commentators such as the dimwit Jesse Peterson complain that their is hypocracy here for various reasons..or this is feeding into the Jesse. Jackson types. Well, I don’t think that is avoidable, but totally off the point that that man holds racist views against his own team members and racism is a lot different than mismanagment for heaven sakes!
