The initial indication was Johnson was calling for an all-African-American league complete with black ownership. It wasn’t the first time Johnson, who is black, concerned himself with the fact the NBA’s ownership is mostly white while its players are mostly black.

Next thing you know they'll want their own water fountains.

Do it. The Negro leagues worked great in baseball.

I'm sure many people would be surprised how many black people would support new Jim Crow laws if it were called something different.

does anyone know a rough percentage of revenue that comes directly from ticket sales? either to the league as a whole or individual teams. I'm not sure where I'd go to look for something like that

Great college player, good pro, not very bright.

Are they gonna allow white attendance?

Is this the "good" segregation that I've heard about?

They've already got the NBA. Greedy bastards.

If I was black, and played for that asshat owner, I'd probably say the same damn thing.
At least I'd say let's take a few days off as players, and let the league consider the relative value of a dried-up POS bigot vs the players fans actually pay to see.
The owner's product is dependent on talent he cannot reproduce.

where would Blake Griffin go?

Larry Johnson isn't exactly the person that deserves a thread on this matter.. This whole situation is fricked up and really harks back to the old days of ownership treating players as less than employees.. One has to expect people to say irrational things during something like this and the clippers players are in a very awkward position.. For them, thankfully they have a strong head coach who commands respect from around the league.

NBA? Damn near is.
Does that apply to the audience as well?

Quadroons need not apply.

does he really think whites will fight segregation? 
Don't threaten us Larry!!!! What will we do? I mean, if they can have an all black league, I want all white schools, hospitals, water fountains, etc. shite goes both ways. Can't bitch about it in some situations while begging for it in others.
Dumbass.

They will have to build arenas first!

Star this on up. They would see how much black people care when they find out they can't get paid as much as they would in the NBA.
