A previous entry pontificated upon Black people and their love of rioting. Black people do not like to be out-rioted.
Black people love basketball as the sport offers the chance for Black people to showcase their running, jumping and ball handling skills to audiences large or small. From the Harlem Globetrotters to the any National Basketball Association (NBA) team on down to most National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) teams, Black people have long been the majority of the players competing in the games.
Basketball is a simple game with an uncomplicated concept: get the ball in the basket and deny your opponent that same goal. Black people, who some say have a genetic advantage in running and jumping - which might correlate to their numeric superiority in the NBA and NCAA - have been able to perform this task since the days of Bill Russell, Dr. J, Michael Jordan, etc. With the occasional white anomaly thrown in, such as Larry Bird or Brent Barry (more on him later).
Black people however, love to conjure up memories of their high school basketball playing days, as it is well known any person of color played and excelled in basketball in high school. All Black people at one point in their lives played and bested other people at basketball and were it not for an unfortunate injury or not making the grades, more Black people would be in college playing basketball.
Take for instance the popular show, The Office. In season one, Michael Scott (played by a funny white comedian, Steve Carell) gets a basketball game going and immediately puts the corpulent - and only Black guy in the office - Stanley as one of his starting five:
Michael: Ok, let’s put together a starting lineup shall we? Stanley…of course.The moral of this story: never assume Black people are great at basketball, although the empirical evidence would lead to that conclusion.
Stanley: I’m sorry?
Michael: What do you play, center?
Stanley: Why “of course”? What’s that supposed to mean?
Michael: I don’t know. I don’t remember saying that…
Jim: I heard it.
Michael: Well people hear a lot of things man. Um…other starters…me, of course! I heard it that time.
All Black people fondly remember their high school basketball playing days, more vividly than even Uncle Rico did his glory years of throwing the pigskin over the mountains in Napoleon Dynamite. Thus, the reasoning behind one of the most spectacularly documented riots in Montgomery history, all because Black people wanted to recall their high school playing days.
During a game in 2008 between G.W. Carver and Valley - two nearly all-Black schools in Alabama - a massive fight broke out between the two teams and thousands of Black people in attendance:
"With 6:23 remaining in the fourth quarter and a 52-37 lead over Valley, Carver was on its way to a lopsided win.Another story reported that:Carver players rushed the court as fans poured over the stand onto the court. Carver players entered the melee, as more fans rushed the court to get into the fight.
The result was an hour-long delay, the arrest of several participants and a Valley forfeit.
Once things on the court were calmed, the fighting continued in the stands. At three separate intervals, fights ensued after the on-court fight ended."
"Kenneth Mullinax, Director of University Relations for Alabama State University, said "...no one was hurt. We had some over enthusiastic high school fans who got involved in an altercation..."Over enthusiastic" might be an understatement to describe the scene, as WSFA 12 News cameras captured video of players and fans being repeatedly kicked, punched and shoved throughout the event...While the exact number of police officers and security guards is unknown, video shows a scene in which officers struggled to regain control of the spiraling situation, some even appearing to give up and step back as fans in the audience rioted."A previous entry delineated the well-known fact that Black people don't like to be out-rioted. This factoid can be carried over to High School basketball games, as all Black people fantasize about returning to the court, lacing up their Air Jordan's and playing ball one more time.
Thus, the reasoning behind Riotless Highschool Basketball Games being yet another entry in Stuff Black People Don't like.

I have a suggestion for a thing blacks don't like item.
apologies!!
in particular, apologizing to white Americans for subjecting us to a reign of terror over the past sixty years or so in all of the formerly great cities od the US
Aw, poor poor white people, subjected to a reign o' terruh at the hands of them dirty black people!
What crap -- most black crime is black on black.
But it's true, black people don't like apologies. They don't like the recent, empty legislative apology for slavery, for instance, because it does nothing to compensate in a material way for the generations of accumulated material disadvantage heaped upon black Americans in general.
Guess what white people don't like? Legislative 'apologies', empty or otherwise, for slavery, with which they had nothing to do; asinine generalizations such as 'most black crime is black on black'; attempts to blame every living white for 'generations of accumulated material disadvantage'; wanton and psychotic disregard of inconvenient facts about drug use, crime rates, sociopathic behavior...Try reading the news. The recent Ohio gang assault on a family, the extracurricular activities of various sports stars, etc., ad infinitum.
Most crime by black people is committed against white people, not other black people. Negroes believe that whites owe them everything, including their virginity, their security, and their lives.
FBI uniform crime statistics published in 1993 state that 50.2% of black assaults were perpetrated against whites.
The fallacy of blacks committing more crimes against blacks than whites serves only to make a white person feel like they're not targeted, but like it or not, there is a staggering percentage of blacks that hate white people and will vent their hate on them.
Gee I sure can't see where all the animosity stemmed from...
Ah, blacks being blacks. Disgraceful savages.
*sigh* Teach a redneck how to write, and another eloquent hate site is born.
*sigh* Teach a black to fight and a basketball game breaks out.
Back in '82 I used to be able to throw a football a quarter mile, lol
