Default Re: Racism in the NBA and NFL

Quote: I'll refer you to my earlier comments...the natural standards for NBA dress is the uniform they wear during the game. After the game, I agree that they shouldn't wear anything "offensive," but I don't think David Stern and a bunch of stuffy old white guy owners should have the right to define an entire culture of black fashion as "offensive" and "intolerable." It's a targeted effort to "whitewash" the league. No matter the reason, there's a racist element in that.

Of course they do, the NBA is a buisness, where I work, we have a certain dress code as well. The commisioner is trying to fix a problem that is getter worse. For many fans, the NBA has become unwatchable. So if future players want to earn obscene money for shooting a basket in a net, then maybe they could thank their lucky stars and help try to market the product better instead of being a bunch of spoiled selfish babies. If you think that's racist, then call me a racist.
