    And what we've seen all year long in the @NBA is white fan after white fan, say and do things to Black NBA players that they would NEVER do to those same men ANYWHERE else. Racial slurs, physical threats, physical assaults. It's out of hand. PERIOD.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1138811287159365634 …

        Beyond true. Fans should NEVER be this close. It’s too much. Floor tickets next to benches means Aubrey can pretend he’s actually on the team.

        It’s really the slavery mentality of many franchise owners and operators that appeals to these fans as we saw here in la with clippers owner Donald sterling.

        Mom & Dad lived in NYC in the late 30s, early 40s and enjoyed the jazz clubs in Harlem. Because they were white they had to sit in the balcony to watch!! .. just saying!!

        I disagree to the extent of saying it is Privileged White Fans... I think it is probably more accurate to state it is a sign of Ignorant Fans Who Feel Entitled... For anyone who has been to a sporting event, we all see fans who get drunk and do ignorant things regardless of race

        Oh ya for sure! It depends on what stadium you are at. The clientele and what is offered at that stadium as the price of drinks and price of tickets. At Dodger Stadium for example white people are the minority and the Hispanic Fans are the ones shouting slurs.

        So when Drake puts his hands on the coach and makes comments to the other players, that’s OK, right?
