[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1972110, member: 1132"] I took "these people" to mean the people that are upset with the Timberwolves over the racial makeup of the team. I have no idea who they are, but fail to see any issue with the term "these people". Would someone please explain what the issue is? As for the complaint itself, I fail to see how it's any business of "these people" whom the Timberwolves put on their team. Their argument seems pretty specious in light of the fact that the team still has a higher percentage of black players than the population of the country as a whole, and significantly higher than the percentage of blacks in that region. Are they trying to imply that basketball is a predominantly black sport? Why does a sport have to have a race? Shouldn't it be based on ability instead? [/QUOTE]
