There is a new hockey arena opening tonight in Newark, New Jersey. I think it's funny that the NJ Devils are playing in a new areana in a city that's mostly black and don't care about a mostly white sport. What do you think?
-
They are still playing in the Meadowlands. They are going to move to Brooklyn and rename themselves the Brooklyn Nets.
-
They are moving to the area where the Brooklyn Dodgers were supposed to have their new stadium at Atlantic and Flatbush Ave.

Yes, it is a stupid idea for the Devils to be moving to Newark. They had a hard enough time drawing in a white part of NJ. I know someone who wanted to go to a Bon Jovi concert but was afraid to go to this new arena, though I think she should have gone anyway. The Nets arena has a chance to be pretty good, I think. They have a Jewish owner (Bruce Ratner) and he will be pumping a ton of money into the area.

True, Yacov, but I root for them because the coach, Lawrence Frank, is Jewish, and they actually have a pretty good white player (Nachbar).
-
Where are The Nets playing now?
I think Joe Gutfeld is correct.
-
But The Nets' players are mostly if not all black.
Probably at least 80% of NBA players are black. Of the non-black players, many are international.
Notice how there's no affirmative action where the league would be required to have more non-black players.
