The Buzz Bissinger-Mark Cuban Twitter Fight, Transcribed And Animated

Luke O'Brien — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 16:30:24 EST

If you haven't read Buzz Bissinger's column for the Daily Beast about white fans and race in the NBA, you might want to. It's become quite the talked-about piece, mainly because Mark Cuban called out Bissinger about it on Twitter. There's nothing much original in the column. It's more or less the same stuff progressive-minded journalists have been penning about the NBA since Sweetwater Clifton signed his name on a contract. Bissinger harvested anecdotal evidence about white disinterest in the league to arrive at the conclusion that white America won't watch black men get paid to play basketball. More »
