    What Kind Of Country Is This?

    Where they can make you sell your own professional basketball team?

    When I was a kid, a man's professional basketball team was a man's professional basketball team and no other man could come take it away for gobs of money.

    This is like armed robbery except instead of a gun the robber is using between half a billion  and a billion dollars to get what he wants.

    What are you going to do when they come for your basketball team?  Or yours?  Or yours?

    Well, I'll tell you this -- when it happens, don't go crying to Donald Sterling and Cliven Bundy for help.

    They won't help you.

    They think you're black.

    Fact: Cliven Bundy owns a basketball team made up entirely of dairy cows.

    Fact: Cliven Bundy's basketball team of Dairy Cows has lost to the Harlem Globetrotters every time they have played.
