His comments directly echo multiple stereotypes perpetuated about African Americans. So my assumptions that they were motivated by general and totally non-specific views (i.e. stereotypes) about race are valid in my mind, especially in the absence of any other variables. For example, there is no discussion about the quality / selection of the food and beverage options and merchandise available at Hawks games. But he does assume that African American fans are definitely not buying them because they don't have any money. And he's positive that white fans, solely because they're white, do have money (three times as much according to his Thrashers quote).
Putting that aside, what is there to defend about his comments? The direct quotes I've posted don't bother you at all? Last edited by packs; 09-10-2014 at 03:26 PM.
