Look who's the racist. You are, assuming basketball is synonymous black culture. You should be ashemed, you ugly, racist, piece of shit (nobody calls me racist).

You're as ignorant of the meaning of the word racism as capitalism. I doubt you really have ever thought much about the meaning of the word racism or you wouldn't cheapen it this way. You wouldn't expose your own latent racism by suggesting blacks are only all about, are coextensive with, the NBA. I'm a racist because I'd rather put public money into schools than pay pro athletes tens of millions of dollars a year and enable owners to realize hundreds of millions of dollars in capital gains as they can't turn a profit? I dare say there are millions of blacks who feel the same way I do, though this may come as a surprise to a racist such as yourself. My fair city voted 67 percent against public funding for Key Arena two years ago, and there were many thousands of blacks who voted that way.

I really have no problem with the players, who are often, particularly in football, among the victims. It's the owners and the shallow, gullibe public and their crappy values I condemn. You're exhibit A.

You seem like kind of a dim bulb, but let me see if you get this concept. If the whole edifice is funded with public money, if Kobe's opponents on the court and players bidding up salaries get public money, doesn't that make him a beneficiary of taxpayer largesse regardless of Staples' financing details?
