#1 Somebody must have tried to blackmail/extort him, and he told them to kiss his ass - and fell on his own sword.

I'm a white American, who happened to be married to a black woman for seven years (we got married in 1989, in Florissant, Missouri, about two miles north of Ferguson). As a US Army Officer, I served under two black company commanders, a black Brigade Commander, and a black Division Commander. As an Infantry Training Company Commander, my First Sergeant, my Executive Officer, my Supply Sergeant, and my Senior Drill Sergeant were all black. I was proud to work with them all.

With all that said, in America today, I wouldn't be caught dead (at least, not more than once) anywhere near any place at which a significant number of blacks congregate in the streets, or out in public. Too many are predatory, feral animals. There are many upstanding, hard-working blacks who deserve my respect - and none of them are out in the streets with the feral animals.

There is a cold wind blowing across America, leading eventually to an endpoint that is not going to be pretty.

#2 "Too many are predatory, feral animals." Admitting that is soooo un-PC.

#3 Sounds to me like he wanted to offload the Hawks and needed a pretext. You don't want to appear to be too willing to sell; people start to wonder what's wrong with what you're selling.

#4 I don't believe black fans were scaring off white fans in Atlanta. Living there myself I know if that too be true a white person would never be able too leave their house.

#6 Kareem A-J wrote an intesting Op-Ed on this. He said ~~tell Michael,~~ it was only business.

#8 At the mercy of bloodthirsty buyers,
Brer Bruce has to sell his high flyers:
"I've got Sterling's disease,
So take my Hawks... please.
Just don't throw me into those briars!"
