Props to Steve Francis about Race&the NBA
the Brawl the other night was mentioned by every sports cast in the Nation&rightfully so,but at the same time everytime there is a Fight in the NBA it makes headlines,but in Hockey&Baseball as New York Knicks Guard Steve Francis mentioned there is a Double Standard at how the Media goes about covering the story. the Preception about the NBA is that the Majority of the Players who are Black are that they are Thugs from the Hood,etc...and with the corperate Structuring that David Stern has set up leaves a lasting impression.the game was Sold a long time ago to maintain a certain image.Race plays a part in everything that happens in the Country&the NBA is a Big time market that sells. there is a Rush to Judgement. anybody who denies the Racial elements isn't living in a Reality. not saying that the Players shouldn't have gotten Suspended,but the way everything gets blown up shows how quick there is a Rush to Judgement when there are Majority Black Players.
