A New York sportswriter is in hot water after writing that the Brooklyn Nets should change their name to the "New York N------s" because they are co-owned by Jay-Z.
Phil Mushnick, who writes for the New York Post, has apparently been a long-time critic of the rapper's role in the franchise. In a Friday column, he trashed Jay-Z's choices for the team's new uniforms:
As long as the Nets are allowing Jay-Z to call their marketing shots -- what a shock that he chose black and white as the new team colors to stress, as the Nets explained, their new "urban" home -- why not have him apply the full Jay-Z treatment?
Why the Brooklyn Nets when they can be the New York N------s? The cheerleaders could be the Brooklyn B----hes or Hoes. Team logo? A 9 mm with hollow-tip shell casings strewn beneath. Wanna be Jay-Z hip? Then go all the way!
Unsurprisingly, Twitter has erupted over the comments.

plz come back and drag these motherfuckers
This is a stupid question but how the fuck did he think this was okay?
And who the fuck thought "this won't be a problem to publish"?
Just an all around what the fuck?
It's such a clusterfuck right now.
I do, however, wish they left the Nets in NJ. This is the worst possible place for them to put a fucking stadium
Although that senario is dumb as fuck and probably not what happens IRL.
Sounds like it's time to shuffle ole Phil off to the home tbqh.
