Re: Racism in the NBA and NFL
Dan Patrick's commentary on the NBA dress code was spot on. Summary:
As far as the whole "it's a business" angle. BS. The players business is on the court.
What the NBA is out to do is make the league more appealing to corporate (translate = white) America. There are better ways to do this than regulate what the players wear off the court. I.E. get rid of the baggy clothes on the court.
I agree that the NBA polishing their image is a good thing. Telling Iverson to calm down isn't all that bad of an idea. Telling every player that he can't wear jewelery...I don't know about that.
What would Tagliabue do?
