Thoughts?

you would think, he would have learned from the clippers owner's mistake

The beginning wasn't that racist to me, it looked liked a normal business concern that any owner would notice. But then he slowly went into a rant about how there are way too many blacks at his games,and he says that his food and drink sales are low because their income is so low and etc. One of his quotes- 

i have also balked when every fan picked out of crowd to shoot shots in some time out contest is black. I have even bitched that the kiss cam is too black.

He's kind of like a Donald sterling 2.0 I guess.

I Wish M&T Bank Stadium (Ravens, Baltimore) had low drink and food sales.. its $4.50 for a bottle of water, and $7 for a damn soda man 

 

I Don't understand why he has an issue with "too many blacks" at his games.. pretty stupid, Especially since as of 2010 %54 Percent of the population in atlanta is black (He's Dissing over half his city's population)  I Think he should be more worried about having fans at the games regardless.....   there cant be "too many" of anyone if you only get 14,000 Fans in the stadium on average..  (3rd worst in the League)  even considering the City Population is 447,000 people 

 

Not to mention he should focus more on fixing the team that hasn't gotten past the Second Round in the playoffs in its 46 year existence

(Biggest Accomplisments: 4 Divisional titles.. None Since 1994 Thats it..)

What a hypocrite, he says he donse't want blacks at the game yet his team is predominately black.
