No, I do not care because I do not care about ignorant racists with ignorant racist opinions.

No, he didn't lose it, he never had it to begin with when he entered a private league.

I wish people would learn that the 1st amendment only protects you from government scrutiny, not that of privately owned organizations, networks, employers, etc.

I don't see the big deal with what he said.

This is definitely a sensational event, it's hollow. And worst of all, nothing but a distraction from real issues.


Yeah, but it advances the narrative that rich white men are racists who oppress black millionaires.

He "oppressed" a black person?

How?

Doesn't he own a team of mostly black basketball players who have become millionairs playing on his team?

Where did you come up with that interpretation. The First Amendment protects all individuals' rights to free speech.

Now his black lover defends him and says he isn't a racist.

Spurs are done............so what do we know.........lol. I like many loved the old Lakers/Celtics battles. Of course that is what brought the NBA back. Kareem and the sky hook..........Bird who could do anything. Then Jordan came along and the Pistons tried to break him. What they did back then would have got em T'd outta the game..........lol

I think the Buckeyes are in the same shoe as KU's hoops team. Folks just get used to em winning all the time and take it for granted. Back when I was a kid the Royals owned the town. Then they went to hell and the Chiefs owned it. Now............you just know KU will win the Big 12 but if one of the two others wake up, which they appear to be, they can own the town once again.
