What the heck, Clay? Are you trying to be funny or just a jerk? What does race have to do with the NBA abandoning the fundamental rules of basketball like traveling and carrying and hand checking? What does race have to do with having two sets of rules for your players - the star rules and the non-star rules? Besides that - have you been to a NBA game lately? Who fills up those seats? It's the rich and famous, not the common fan. “Middle aged white guys …who read this blog” ????

That's because your not a fan. Anything can be fixed - it just takes leadership and determination. For example - David Stern needs to be replaced. That helps fix basketball. Bud Selig needs a spine transplant - that helps fix baseball. Barry Bonds needs to be ignorned. That helps too. Look at Jason Giambi today - he acknowledges his wrong doing and urges baseball to close the loop and fix the problem. It takes ... leadership. Now, the NFL ... Grant - baseball beyond fixing?
