**** that guy. I happened to be mixed as well, and it's amazing how ignorant people can be when they assume race. There is a lot of ignorance in the world in all shapes and sizes. This *** hole represents corporate America and how full full of **** many millionaires are to our faces. NBA needs to force him to sell this franchise.
I'm not much of a basketball fan, so I don't really care too much. But I do believe in fairness.
I heard Barkley say the NBA is a "black league". That offended me as a white dude and seemed racists. Shouldn't the NBA band him from their telecasts? And, if indeed Barkley is correct,
shouldn't the Feds force some form of affirmative action program on the NBA so more white dudes can play, or let's not forget all the Mexicans. Not sure what rule changes are need to make the game equally fair for them since they tend to be a little short, but I bet they would like a shot at those millions. Not to mention, a lot of short ****** guys think they can play basketball too. Rules can be changed, they have been before, and the changes can favor certain types of players.
The Perfect Dolphins had the best defense in NFL history until Ray's boys broke their record for points scored against. There was one starting black player on the defense, Curtiss Johnson. The NFL wanted more scoring and made major rule changes after that. Those rules favored speed and bang, white dudes got less NFL jobs.
I really don't give a crap about this rich old man, and I normally like Barkley's mouth, but if we are going to punish people for their thoughts and words, then let's be fair. Take the dude's franchise, but fire Barkley and ban him from NBA related stuff. Me, I think people should be allow to have freedom of thought and speech, but if that is not the rule then the new rule must be applied equally.
