Of course it's a racial issue. You have black players (What is it now, 80-90% of the NBA?) and a white audience paying the bills. You can't expect black players to be lily white in their expression. So.......it's a matter of how much the audience likes what they see and will pay for. If you don't like the behavior, don't pay to see em play, don't watch em on TV and don't buy your kid a jersey. If you think they are overpaid, illiterate thugs, then don't give em any of your money. I gave up watching that brand of basketball years ago. If I paid any of their salary, I'd have no right to *****. It's a matter of "market value."
Have a great day in the USA where we have choices of how we spend our money.
