NASCAR VS NBA
NASCAR vs NBA: First, the popularity of NASCAR is because there are no Blacks involved in it in any visible way; no drivers, owners, and especially no fans. Now the NBA: the riots in Vegas after the All Star Game is in stark contrast to the white crowd of 180,000 at the Daytona 500. The NBA has more than an "image" problem; its real fans are Black and mostly poor and they cannot afford to buy tickets to NBA games. So they sit at home watching TV and if they start fights it's at home, thus the NBA avoids the Black violence that is sure to explode if their true fan base could attend.
The NBA still has the "thug image" and they are at a crossroads right now. The wealthy (and you have to be near that to afford most NBA venues such as LA and New York) white fans will continue to attend games in big markets, but what about the smaller market teams? We will see.

the blacks at the all-star weekend that basically terrorized a city were not poor.
the hip hop/rap/thug/gangsta lifestyle and mentality is what is destroying this game(and our cities) and there's really no way you can eliminate it.
this lifestyle (rapper/thug) is the rule rather than the exception for black males in this country.
it is "cool" to be a criminal in the minds of the black community.
of course i'll be labeled a racist for stating this obvious fact.
