But if sports players left the game or even went on strike, where would they go? Who would hire them? And who would pay them the money they are used to earning? Many years ago, black athletes complained their way into the NBA, NFL, and, MLB. It was where they wanted to be. It was called “breaking the color barrier. I can’t see black athletes ceasing from playing the sport that pays them so well.

The author said, “Sterling let the cat out of the bag with his hateful remarks.” I don’t believe ALL owners and coaches feel the same as Sterling. I’m not a sports fanatic, but I’ll watch a football or basketball game once in awhile. This may sound girlie or wishy-washy but I can tell that there are coaches/owners who really care for their team/players.

“NBA Commissioner Silver had to speedily make an example of him or the gig would be up.” I believe Mr. Silver was just as shocked, angered, and pissed as everyone else. If he could had, Adam would have cussed on national television. He had THAT look on his face and in his eyes, IMHO.

Maybe they start being more responsible, more intelligent, learning the true business behind sports… Naw! that will never happen. once a slave always a slave.
