    Media calling Timberwolves racist.

    I am a huge Timberwolves fan, grew up around the Twin Cities, love KG to this day. I don't think I have ever been more pumped for a season for the Wolves than this year. But a couple days ago I heard a radio personality talking about how the Wolves were "too white". Then today I read a Yahoo! (uhg) article about the same thing.

    I think people fail to realize how many foreign players from across the world are on the roster, and I think people also fail to realize how many players the Wolves adamantly pursued and didn't get. Some people are saying they assembled an "all white" team to sell to a white market audience.

    What are your guys thoughts on this? Do you guys think this will follow the Wolves around all year?

      I couldn't care less if it was an all-White team or an all-Black team. All that matters if how they perform.

      This is exactly what's wrong with the World.

          There are...maybe 4 (I think) different "white" nationalities on that roster.

          Kirlenko, Schved, Pekovic, and Rubio.

          Also, Everyone except Asia, Africa, and the Middle-East is considered "white".

              Let's see...

              Ridnour, Shved, Budinger, Kirilenko, Love, Pekovic, and Stiemsma. All of those guys have legit NBA skill so who cares what color they are?

                  People said this about the Pacers a few years ago and about the Jazz before them. Its nonsense.

                      In another world... but this discussion is not going to go well without breaking the TOS so I'm locking this up now.
