re: ATL Hawks Owner Looks to Sell because of "Racist Email"

Would people really not go to a game because of the black crowd? If you lived in Atlanta what would you even do? Never leave buckhead?

I think that is the racist part. You want to cater to the season ticket buying demo, you just appeal to bros. You don't just focus on making it less black. A kiss cam being too black? What does that mean? A white guy isn't going to buy season tickets because a black couple is kissing? Dumb. And racist, IMO.

Whites are more affluent and more likely to buy season tickets. That's not racist, really.

I guess it comes down to his motives. Was it purely fiscal? Or did he feel it was too black of an environment? I'm not that worried about it. If this is where we are having race arguments now, we are in a much better place. Can you imagine how this email would have read 40 years ago?
