Atlanta Hawks Willingly Being Sold Over Niggerish Statement

2 Years ago in an enternal email.
Atlanta Hawks Owner Bruce Levenson.
Expressed his view on how Southern White Men would feel in an area filled with African Americans.
Somewhat racial at the time.
This statement has now prompted the Hawks Owner to sell controlling interest of the team.
Could the Billion Dollar Acquisition of The Los Angeles Clippers over racial remarks be the reason for this presidented decision.
