I'd be fine with any private organization

Dictating who is and isn't allowed in their business.
Just as I'm fine with choosing with whom I do business.
Though, to be fair, the civic tie-in and public money used to promote sports teams make them less and less private entities with the freedom (in my eyes) to do as they please.

Legally, no

Though I think the answer should be yes.
And they should promptly be laughed out of business, but it should, in my estimation, be legal.

while not an owner and thus much lower profile than Sterling, is a very famous public figure and NBA Executive, and should be subject to a very public rebuke for his comments as well, which represent an equally wrong and disturbing attitude. Of course, that will never happen, and we all know why.

I am okay with it. Nobody would go, and as a business it would be a colossal failure. If he wants to try and prove a point, be my guest.

Being that 70% of the fans buying tickets to the NBA games, I woulder what a player contract would look like in an all black league. I say this b/c if a RACIST league like that was to come, how many whites do he think would be buying the tickets.

Actually neither one of you don't have a clue of what you're talking about. I happen to be the son of a 100% full Cherokee Indian. I know what racism is and when it was intended!!! Have you ever heard white people say when you walk by, (and they were talking about my mother) she is married to a f-ing Indian!!!

Not even!!! But to someone that tries to make them self politically correct in front of others would try and make something racist out of it. So you should stop calling the kettle black pot.

The NBA isn't a black league?

The music they constantly play throughout the duration of the game is a clear indicator of who they're targeting as an audience. That inner city market if you will.

Sports is the one thing that can and does bring all races together as one team. Sports has been about for a long time, not the color of your skin, but the talent and skill you have to offer as an athlete to your team.

The only ones that lose sight Smiling, are the ones that hate what they are seeing. They will keep stirring the pot to try and change the taste.

His tweet says it all LOL

in a tweet the former star player wrote: “Black people your Focusing on the wrong thing. We should be focusing on having our own, Own team own League! To For Self!!”
I know we're not the grammar police on here but when "leaders" don't know the difference between "your" and "you're" that's a problem.
I quit reading after that. Who cares what he thinks.
