NBA referees are ancillary to the games they officiate. In actuality, no one cares who officiates any given game. Fans of the games are there to see their favorite players and teams play, not to see referees make the game about themselves. Weak white men who cannot play the game become referees, so they act out police tendencies.…… It is time that Scott Foster be sent packing.
Sports is a subject that I seldom ever write on, even though I remain an avid sports fan. Major sports in the United States have been phenomenal in lifting talented young African Americans out of poverty for decades. One major star, Michael Jordon, has even moved on to join the coveted billionaires club. Unfortunately and maybe even predictably, some have squandered their wealth and have returned to abject poverty, and, in some cases, even ended up in prison.
Having said that, the team sports that have dominated American and worldwide attention have been sports dominated by Black athletes.
Basketball, American football, Boxing, and now even soccer, which America stubbornly refused to participate in at the national level until it realized that the entire world played the game, which is the most popular game in the world.
Having been kept out of Baseball until Jackie Robinson broke that barrier, black players entered and dominated the game, then basically left the game up to foreign players of color. Some of the greatest to ever play the game have been black men. Many of those men are still alive today.
It is no secret, then, that black people dominate whatever field they are allowed to participate in. It is also no surprise that those who hold power would do everything in their power to keep blacks away from competing with whites on the playing fields and in the board rooms. In the instances where they have been allowed, they are forced to play to different rules than their white counterparts.
Having watched the National Basketball Association and having been an avid fan of the game for decades, I must confess that I stopped watching the games for years now.
Not because of the players who have gotten more talented and fun to watch but because of the leverage given to game officials by the (NBA) to treat players like second-class citizens in a sport they dominate.
I stopped watching the National Football League as well because of the way Colin Kaepernick was treated like a slave on a plantation by wealthy white racist billionaires who own the teams at the behest of an amoral, immoral, despicable, poor excuse for a member of the human species.https://www.gwinnettdailypost.com/arena/sports_illustrated/adam-silver-addresses-chris-paul-scott-foster-beef-after-recent-run-in/article_94edcde0-fe8b-5d83-91f9-42f343744abf.html
For decades, NBA referees have acted on the court like thug warrior cops on America’s streets toward NBA players. It is time for the NBA players to stand up and put an end to this thuggery from this group of tyrants. There is ample evidence that NBA referees have bet on games they officiate. There is evidence they have bourne grudges for many players, including Allen Iverson-players who did not bow down and kiss their white asses.
It is time that Scott Foster be sent packing for the good of the game. .……
