    How do you feel about Jackie Robinson Day?

    I somewhat disagree on the statement that someone of lesser character would've handled things different than Jackie. I feel that Jackie was "non-threatening" in the eyes of the white owners of that time, meaning he would'a tolerated alot more bs than some of his Negro League counterparts would...

    Do you think we'll ever see another politically/socially aware superstar black athlete?

    A few days ago after watching the documentary titled, "Facing Ali", I was reminded of how much the black athletes of Ali's era were more than just athletes/brands/celebreties. They were also activists & leaders who spoke out and even changed certain issues that affected their communities. Those...

    Atlanta Hawks' fanbase

    Yeah, I see 'em all the time here in GA. People still have Civil War (especially Confederate) re-enactments here for crying out loud!

    Atlanta Hawks' fanbase

    Good observation. It's beeen this way for as long as I can remember. If you wanna go deeper without getting controversial, I've also noticed that the majority of white sports fans in this region disregard pro sports even more so than their minority counterparts do here in the South. Much of it I...

    Atlanta Hawks' fanbase

    I feel that the Hawks should add a dominant, superstar type of player. This is the only way that I could see the Hawks' fanbase become more supportive to the team. Unfortunately, most of the established superstars are contractually locked in with their current teams for several years to come, or...

    Official NBA game ball question

    I've always wondered why I've never seen this ball used by the general public ( besides the issue of the $80+ price tag). My question was answered after reading many customer reviews online. People seem to hate it. They say the ball is very slick and has a cheap feel. My next question is, does...

    Atlanta Hawks' fanbase

    True. There's already been talk of relocating one of the teams located in the South. On another note, it doesn't help that GA is more of a football crazed state.

    Atlanta Hawks' fanbase

    I went to the game this past week to watch the Hawks face the Knicks on Sunday, and I went to Tuesday's game against the Lakers. I seriously felt like I was at MSG, and Staples respectively! I know most people will say, "NY & L.A. are the two biggest markets, and it's to be expected that many of...

    Anyone feel like they're the only TRUE sneakerhead/enthusiast they know?

    Before ya'll start bashing me completely, I guess lemme clear myself up by saying that around my way there's not too many folks that are into kicks. I'm not judging them, to each it's own, but I was just referring to the fact that you're not gonna see a sneaker head as frequently as you would...

    Anyone feel like they're the only TRUE sneakerhead/enthusiast they know?

    It can be a lonely or even a hilarious feeling at times. I understand that in this economy many folks can't afford the latest Jordans or other high end sneakers, but I guess I'm coming from a unique perspective in the sense that I'm referring to just an appreciation for the sneaker CULTURE in...
