B..B...But lets bring up every possible explanation except for race...

whats the excuse for teams like Detroit, Atlanta, Philly and Washington having poor attendance then??
sure indianapolis is a pretty white city, but those other cities aint. Why aren't all the black "fans" there supporting those teams??
Cacs huh?
Um, Detroit just got labeled the most "depressed" city in Amerikkka.
Have you seen it.
Indianapolis on the other hand is considered the only big city in the Midwest (besides Chicago and maybe Minneapolis) that isn't in a steep decline.
It's actually considered a vibrant city with a bright future, unlike Detroit and the rest of the rust belt.
Atlanta is a TERRIBLE sports town for everybody.
And Washington Wizards is just a gay ass name. They should change it back to the Bullets. I could never respect a team called the Wizards. Plus, Washington DC. has become heavily gentrified. A large percent of it's Black population has been ushered out and replaced by White yuppies who could give a fukk about a Wizard.
Black people don't like hockey.
Black people don't pretend to like hockey when Black folks are playing and then as soon as White folks start dominating pretend that we don't like hockey.
No, because if you've learned anything from Fox News is that rednecks hate anything that isn't "American" (i.e. hockey, soccer, universal health care, socialism). You're talking about people who started calling French Fries "Freedom Fries" out of spite.
Naw, they're not our type of humor.
There's a difference.
Indiana is a state that LOVES the sport of basketball.
It is the calling card of the state, yet they pretend to not care about it, when the team is mostly Black and not the kind of "Black" that they're comfortable with.
They burned Reggie Miller's house down.
You do know that right?
And called him every name in the book.
I never respected him after he came back there and continued to play in that environment after that.
Um, I'd rather have shoes I can wear everyday than spend 2 hours somewhere and have to go right back home.
Yeah, memories are great, but having fly gear is even better.
I can't wait til they team gets stolen from them...and put in one of the blackest cities in america.....throw that shyt in Atlanta for the fuk of it

Throw it in a city with worst attendance yes that makes sense :leslie:

think about what youre saying.
how could they possibly be the 4th team in a predominately black city? black people are into hockey now? we're playing baseball again?
like i said in a previous post, if youre not from the city, you wont understand. yall are looking at numbers, not realizing that most of those numbers come from white folks who dont even live in the city.
the actual city itself is a basketball city and it has one of the richest basketball histories in the country. theres a reason why drexel, the weakest of the city-6 college basketball programs arguably holds more weight than thee premier college football program - which plays in the big east.
now as far as pro teams go, yes the sixers are 2nd to the eagles inside the actual city. but alot of that has to do with the fact that the eagles are almost always in the running for a division title at the very least.....but when an iverson/barkley/erving type player comes to town, theres a reason why they are automatically the face of philly sports.

You are overstating Atlanta terrible base. Atlanta likes entertainment as it is an entertainment town. Think LA. We sellout for the Falcons and we sold out for the Braves when they had championship level teams. Now the Hawks have always been in hell and the hockey team was never competitive.
Washington supports the Wiz better than most cities support bad teams.

@#1 pick
alot of cities would kill to have a team like the hawks tho.
dope roster which harbored 3 all-star caliber players. one of the most exciting squads and they actually win playoff series'.
i do understand that outdoor sports run the south, especially that sector. but still.

Your argument is no different than the argument some make about how the Knicks are the heartbeat of NYC sports even though they're not the most popular team.
As for the Pacers, I don't know how their ticket situation is (not Stub Hub and all that other stuff, I'm talking about season ticket holders-- which is the most important aspect) If those STH's aren't coming back yet, that's a problem, and that can impact the attendance big time. Watching other teams' STH situation, your team can get better, but people still might not come back immediately because the fans that were there when it was cheap got their ticket prices jacked up and didn't come back because of it. I don't know if that applies to the Pacers, but that could be a contributing factor to attendance, heads not renewing and nobody really taking their place.

im not arguing that the sixers are the heartbeat of philly sports. but theyre more popular than the phillies & flyers.and this is a basketball city period.
regardless of the pro teams. somebody actually tried to say that philly isnt a basketball town and thats just ludacris. thats what set me off actually.

Last time I was in Philly I had this racist cac cab driver that was telling me why he and his peoples don't fukk with the 76ers...It was all about them having some bunny rabbit mascot that he said offended the white population of the city because it had a du-rag on...
You would be suprised the rationalizations people come up with why not to support winning sports teams...
Trust me.. Colin knows exactly what he's talking about here..

White people come up with the lamest excuses? One white boy called the Herd last week and said he doesn't go to games because players are lazy today and don't give it their all in games. Colin was like
"Indiana is #1 is total defense, scoring defense, rebounding, and opp field goal %". How are they lazy?" Bet you the white boy would be there if they some how got Cody Zeller on their team
