Yeah its a stupid idea, difference is he has about as much pull as me. Next to zero, everyone recognize his jack ass comment and move on. Zero impact from a washed up ball player.
AABA, All American basketball alliance. Where you been son? Get out of the basement. The people who tried to start this league and Larry Johnson are both idiots.
What Grandmama tweeted before his LJBBA idea: "I heard the Clippers owner made a racial statement And black people are all upset, get over it this is Integration." https://twitter.com/TheRealLJ2/status/460153990697988096 "He is the owner of the team personally I think He Should have Who ever he wants at the game." https://twitter.com/TheRealLJ2/status/460156233820164096
^I can only surmise that's Larry Johnson's way of saying he won't be attending Clippers games. In any case, his comments are best ignored, as they represent the same type of ignorance, intolerance and stupidity that cost Donald Sterling his place in the NBA. The only reason Johnson's position within the Knicks organization doesn't appear to be at-risk is because nobody cares what he thinks, nor should they.
**** would hit the fan. But I guarantee you no one will give a **** about LJ's comment and it'll be forgotten by the end of the week.
Here's a guy who proposed an all white basketball league... No one gave a ****. http://m.chronicle.augusta.com/stories/2010/01/19/nba_563760.shtml
Anything said against black people is racism; anything said against other races (especially white) by blacks is wisdom. Bow down to the black people, lol.
notice how nobody supports this (not even black people) or cries about "free speech" yet defend sterling
If you said Larry Johnson's home owners' association should be able to force the sale of his home against his will, I'd definitely be against it. Stupid people saying stupid things, even when they offend me, doesn't shake me to my core.
Power is subjective; but even so this qualifier is false regarding blacks' and the public's response to offensive speech. It doesn't typically matter the material power or influence of an offender, that their comments are public is enough to garner angry and sometimes concerted and organized responses.
anyone see Adande's stupid tweets? He basically says LJ's comments aren't racist, and that saying they are racist is like saying the WNBA is sexist for only having women. What an idiot.
