I think that's what's actually floating under the surface when some people talk about "thugs" being the reason they don't want the NBA here.

Emphasis on "some". I wouldn't paint everybody in the midwest with that brush. Including myself, who has no interest in or desire to watch the NBA, and is not racist in any way.
I was a huge Jazz fan until they got greedy and went on strike. I said **** it. I was an A's fan until all their strikes and I quit that as well.

Denver rookie QB John Elway, on Jack Lambert, after Lambert and the Steelers knocked Elway out of his first game as a pro (1983).
