The NBA sent out a release Monday night that said the league's 30 teams will have a record 101 international players from 37 countries and territories. Warriors vice president of communications Raymond Ridder forwarded the release to team employees, congratulating the team for a third of its roster consisting of international players: Andrew Bogut, Leandro Barbosa, Festus Ezeli, Ognjen Kuzmic and Nemanja Nedovic.
Guber responded to the email: "I'm taking rosetta stone to learn Hungarian Serbian Australian swahili and hoodish This year. But it's nice."
Why the frick is this a story?

Am I off-base or is it unreasonable to assume that "hoodish" was a typo?
I'm prolly wrong esp. with the Swahili thing right before it (which NBA player speaks Swahili?) but I figured I might as well try to find an alternative charitable explanation before assuming the guy is a racist

It's fairly obvious that's exactly what happened.

No reason for this to be a story

I feel like there are people, regardless of race or age, who eagerly await anything that can remotely be considered racist. They just wait and wait and BOOM something comes out and everyone is all ticked off.
Just frustrating.

It's pretty funny, but I don't understand why people would write something like that in an email....at work.

Who's ticked off or calling him racist?

Because you will create a thread with the link that will increase page clicks. You are the problem not ESPN.
