Racial Divide Seperates Sports Fans

Basketball has been known for creating some very good players. Michael Jordan, do I say more? The lack of criminals emanating from the league does make one think that Mr. Stern has been, well a little stern on his employees. As the league moves forward into uncharted territories, people are going to be very skeptical of how the league manages in modern society. The biggest issue to talk about is the lack of racial diversity in the NBA.
If I was anything on the list of writers in America, I would be stoned to death fro writing this blog. Fortunately, or unfortunately I am not looked at too much so this blog will reach about 35 people. Lately, I have been looking at multiple NBA venue's and I have noticed the same thing with each; an increase in the amount of empty seats. Some will over rule me and say this is purely economics at work, but I say otherwise. Look down at who is playing and tell me how many white people are in uniform slamming dunks. I'll even give you three minutes........
You have probably noticed by now that most of the players are African American. I think this is a positive testament to where our country has gone. We have a league which has more people of color than whites. This does not matter to me, however it does seem to be a little fast for the people paying for the show. You can say that I am racist all you want, but the fact is, the role models for white people are still turning out to be white people. The same with African-Americans.
So what do we do? Well, I for one dislike basketball to the fullest. I believe that the sport should be taken off of American sports because there is really no stopping anyone from scoring except themselves. No defensive unit will come on the court to stop Kobe from scoring. I'll just have to hope that Birdman gets in his way and ruins his first scoring chance. Which still leaves us with the same question of what should we do? Frankly, until America is a nation which is literally equal with the amount of blacks vs. whites, there is nothing we can do. Whites are still going to watch people who they can take after. It's not likely for for me to empathize with a black man who grew up on the streets. I didn't grow up on the streets, so I cannot relate.
I remember a couple of years back when someone, I believe from the naacp, said that basketball has roughly 75% African-Americans. They said that was good, but not great. So what is great? Would great be the entire sports world run by one race? How would that be any better than what we are in now? The only difference is that white people would not be allowed to start a league to help them in trying times.
I think people need to stop bitching and let the talent speak for itself. If a black quarterback is taken in the NFL draft before a white guy because he is good, so be it. If it's the other way around, the same should be said. Not something to the effect that a particular team is racist because they did not take a black person.
