Race is Still an Issue in Professional Sports

Everyone in the sports arena knows that racism in whatever context fits each unique situation is still very much alive and has its hands on the controls over who and how games are played. IMO.

From the way owners select their teams, to how much money they pay based on levels of skill, to the opposing players getting into confrontations in the heat of the moment, subtle racism under the surface plays its part no matter how slight and no matter the color mixture.

Will it ever be erased? Will excluding everyone we know thinks and feels like a racist be the way to get everybody to act the same?

How exciting and competitive will that be when we all mimic each other so we don't ruffle any feathers? Please.....

Racism is as racism does. There really is no such thing as racism, just the attempt to keep people divided by assertion of the race card. What most assert as racist is in reality just ignorance, ignorance that supports the intolerance of anything different from themselves. It is in the inherent nature of man to use any derogatory term that comes to mind in the heat of ignorant anger, be it race, ethical background, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief or any other vile remark that purports superiority.

But what is really vile is the undo attention racism gets because of it's tendency to divide the people into waring masses. This tends to pit the people against the people so they little pay attention to the screwing they are getting from the propagators, the real winners in these little escapades.

But this instance between Sterling and this little whore involving Magic so Magic can steal something he could not own otherwise shows the immoral stench the American society has reached.

I just hope that Sterling uses his immense wealth to legally destroy the team and everyone else involved in this ruckus, especially the NBA.

As to the players, I hope he trades every one of them into the worse possible scenario for each of them and gets in return the worse players the NBA has to offer, just what LA deserves.
