Watch Out For The Third Rail... Ow, Stepped Right On It There
-
Go ahead and read the email about black and white fans that led to Bruce Levenson selling the Atlanta Hawks and decide if it's racist. Certainly, some of the statements therein are racially based, and the idea of wanting to attract people he says are staying away based on "racist garbage" ideas might come off as questionable. But is it that, or is it a businessman wanting to diversify his fan base? You do have to ask why he'd put it in writing, but you could look at this as racism or you could look at this as someone looking to figure out why he can't attract corporate or suburban support. Or you could look at this as someone trying to find a way to not have to own the Atlanta Hawks anymore, since he reported himself to the league. (Deadspin)
