is the Sports Media creating a perpetual Racial Division?

As we prepare for Game 3 of the Lakers vs Celtics championship match up and the continual hype machine that tried to link this series back to the classic series of the 80's. I've noticed something taking place that's ever so subtle, its the way the media is playing up the affair. Of course there's the endless showing of the Mchale close line of Rambis and Magic is getting lots of face time ,as well as former players of the 2 squads, however I've noticed an increasing pattern, when the news media interviews or wants to get fan reactions , notice whom they select for each team, the Celtic fans are almost always white, and the Lakers fans are either brown or black. Don't take my word for it, do your own informal poll. From here on out count the number of times you see this transaction take place and send me your count. Maybe its just my imagination?? or is it Holla back!

"Is Sports Media creating a perpetual racial division?"......was this just a rhetorical question? Of course they are...and have been for quite some time now.
