If you think the only people who could possibly think a person who made the comments he made is unfit to run a pro basketball team are black people you are mistaken.

no it is not.
is some minority black dudes forcing it.

The only force they can apply is to ticket sales and advertising revenue. The free market in action.

nope it is public opinion. liek omg that dude said racist ****.
instead of voting with their wallet, they are forced to sell business

Move this team to Seattle ASAP! Atlanta has NEVER supported the Hawks. I actually feel bad for the owner. While people can obviously be racists, hard data cannot. Whites probably have the most disposable income in the Atlanta area. As a business man, you're supposed to target the highest disposable income demographic. I haven't seen his email, so perhaps it's a bit more inflammatory, but the guy was between a rock and a hard place.

Public opinion is only a factor through its effect on revenues. Capitalists will do wildly unpopular things if they make money from it.

This feels like he wants to sell the team, so he reported himself because he is having a hard time otherwise.

I dunno. That's just what get from this.
