As the streets continue to fill with blood, the sports world eagerly pursues its cut. Sports. What a sad joke. If the money were right, wed be charged extra to watch with both eyes.
A New York Giants jersey is now being sold in black, with dark red numerals and dark red stitching of names of current Giants, such as Hakeem Nicks.
No one, by now, needs to be educated as to what thats all about, any more than they need to be told what inspired Nike to turn the colors of the American Olympic teams it sponsored from red, white and blue to black and white.

DARK CLOUD: Youd never know Rutgers quarterback Gary Nova plays for the Scarlet Knights, based on the schools black alternate uniforms, writes The Posts Phil Mushnick.
And what a coincidence that dozens of pro and college teams that have abandoned their traditional colors even schools such as the St. Johns Red Storm, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and the Harvard Crimson to sell their souls to Nike, which has replaced the team/school colors with black.
At least some of the sellouts have the decency to admit black appears more menacing and/or helps recruit student-athletes those who would choose a college based on uniform colors. Hey, you dont wanna be caught dead, if you get my drift.
Significantly, these new, gang fashion-approved Giants jerseys are not knock-offs; they carry the licensing logo of both the NFL and the NFLPA. Their marketing divisions know what sells, and why.
After all, what makes gangsta rappers so appealing to sporting goods companies that theyd provide them their own lines of sneakers?
Brings to mind an under-reported protest by some Harlem residents a few years ago who knew better than most what MLBs official cap-maker, New Era, was up to when it began to manufacture and flood urban markets with Yankees caps in the colors and designs that clearly attracted gang members.
New Era claimed that, gee, it had no idea! Said a spokesperson:
It has come to our attention that some combinations of icons and colors on a select number of our caps could be too closely perceived to be in association with gangs.
New Era had no idea its blue and gray Yankees caps were what the Crips liked; no idea the Yankees cap with the crown atop the interlocking NY were what the Latin Kings wanted; no idea Yankees caps designed with red and black bandana wraparounds were right up the Bloods alley.
Yep, pure accident, just a coincidence.
Nikes latest transparent scheme to sell cheap, Third World-made sneakers as obscenely priced status symbols, uses LeBron James in place of Michael Jordan to sucker Americas most vulnerable, values-twisted inhabitants.
The LeBrons retail for $315. Theyre sneakers.
