My negative view of the city of Oakland goes back to the 70's and the Raider fans...he wanted to turn attention to the city in which the team played, how isn't that political? where, exactly, did you think he'd be going with that?
sorry for telling you to **** off, that was a bit harsh.
Well before politics were a part of sports and red and blue states and cities, and I just never cared for the NBA at any time...that's probably because the Burgh never had a NBA team for me to follow growing up...
My apologies for high jacking your thread.
