Well this is a deeper conversation and we can have it, but I do no think most would be rational enough to have such a conversation. But I would expect there to be more representation of the participants in the sport, not necessarily to reflect what the society just looks like. And the society is all not one group of people and certainly not the people that play the sport of basketball. Again, just an observation, not a big deal and is not going to change with the current situation of who makes these decisions.
