NBA Must Be Speaking in Code
- Share via
The NBA is run by white men and the crowds and TV audience are overwhelmingly white, whereas the vast majority of players are black. Does anyone doubt that the sole reason for the dress code was to make the players look less “black” and at least dress somewhat like the people watching? It is perhaps the most transparent racially motivated action that a sports organization has taken since the NCAA outlawed the slam dunk.
