Political correctness slays another NBA business career

The insanity of liberal political correctness just claimed another victim. This time it is Bruce Levenson, owner of the Atlanta Hawks NBA team.

Levenson “self-reported” to the NBA that because he “wrote an email two years ago that was inappropriate and offensive,” he has decided to sell his interest in the basketball team. Are you kidding me? If this politically correct foolishness continues, pretty soon almost every American will have to “self-report” for saying or writing something inappropriate and offensive at one point in their lives and then resign.

While Levenson only referred to his email as “inappropriate and offensive,” the media instantly labeled it “racist.” Well, there you go. All of this, of course, follows in the wake of former NBA owner Donald Sterling’s “racist” phone call with his mistress.

Levenson’s entire email is online for all to read. As he says, it’s rambling. To Abdul-Jabbar’s point, parts of it are business-related, parts are cringe-worthy, parts are ignorant, parts are contradictory, and parts are, if anything, assigning a racist motive to Southern whites for being uncomfortable in an arena that is “70 percent black.”

Is Levenson a racist? I doubt it. Should he resign because he wrote an email that was “inappropriate and offensive?” No. Again, almost all of us are guilty of such conduct at least once in our lives, and most deserve a second chance.
