I'm happy to see the Spurs win tonight. Despite loving Nowitzki, the Spurs are a better team from our perspective. Ginobli, Splitter, Bellenelli and Bonner are play quality minutes. Especially the first 3 guys I mentioned. Dirk had a great game but didn't get enough help.
"The Spurs!" Staring Parker, Duncan and their beta-orbiters! You guys definitely have stronger stomachs than me. The impressions is still clearly conveyed that blacks are superior in the sport and, because there is a mental taboo on admitting their general intellectual inferiority, superior in general.
You almost have to wonder if the teams with a few token white guys are worse than the all black teams. After all, outside of the very successful teams, white people are probably less inclined to watch an ALL black team. A few token whites and the team suddenly becomes more relatable. Nevertheless the narrative is effectively the same: blacks are superior… at least athletically…or at least in those attributes that make a better basketball player (and football player).
Of course, using this logic, arguably the worst team is a team headed by an Alpha white in a league dominated by teams headed by Alpha blacks. This is especially true if the one or two teams with the Alpha whites (Mavericks, Timberwolves) are failing to win the championships, as is nearly always the case (the recent exception being 2011 since the Bird years). Then the alpha-white becomes a shiny lure for semi-conscious or even fully conscious whites to follow a league that, certainly, in its totality, adoringly venerates blacks.
I understand having a distraction as a break from more serious matters. And certainly, I suppose, one can focus on and root for the white players (and the blacks that help the teams with more whites win). Though it seems safe to say that no money should be directed toward this league (or the NFL for that matter). Indeed, even clicking on a website whereby the league might gauge interest, receive advertising dollars because of these clicks and invest in promotions in order to grow seems like something one might even think twice about.
Then again, one could argue that one's own participation in clicking on NBA or NFL related websites has such a nominal impact (because people who think like us are such a tiny minority) that it just doesn't matter at this stage. Maybe with the same sort of cynicism one uses when one decides not to vote because all the candidates are completely worthless. Though in the voting scenario nothing is being given to one's adversary, however small. Certainly, the only way to mitigate this is to make Caste Football-like comments in the mainstream site comment sections. Only then can a negative be turned into a positive.
