| Re: Great excerpt from Bill Simmons...
There's more thugs in the NFL than any other sport and it's still the most popular. I don't think this has anyhting to do with racism. Michael Jordan was black and the most popular basketball or star of any sport that this nation has ever seen. The quality of play sucked and there was a lack of star power for a while.. That's my reasoning. Now we have guys like LeBron, Kobe stepping it up, Nash, Howard, Dirk, Chris Paul, and the Celtics on the rise.. it's great for the league. If only they could get New York back in the mix, that'd also do wonders.. I'm really going to enjoy these playoffs. Like I said, the West is awesome.. I've never seen it so stacked. |
