NBA Lockout


I have never been the biggest fan of Bryant Gumbel, but after these comments I have gain a tremendous amount of respect for the man.  Finally someone who has the platform is voicing what has been blatantly obvious throughout the NBA in the last decade. 

I know every thinks... "most jobs have a dress code", " every company has a code of conduct",  "you get paid millions  you can afford it". True, but what other major sport has these same rules in play? Seems like the more blacks in the sport, the more need for it to be controlled by white overseers. This is the same rhetoric the Klan preaches and depicted in the "The Birth of a Nation" 

The double standard is painfully obvious to point its not fair. Its clear there is an agenda to separate the NBA and hip hop culture and with the insertion of all these new rules it clear who's in control. 

This lockout has been annoying and is very unnecessary if you ask me. The micro management definitely needs to stop. Now the NBA has done some good things like implementing classes to educate players on finances, getting rid of the goons some hang around, and partying safely.

Thats where the good stops, now focus on getting this season in play. I'm tired of Sportscenter without hoop highlights.
