NY Post to Jay-Z: Why Not Call New Brooklyn Team the New York N*****

May 04, 2012

New York Post sports media columnist Phil Mushnick is unhappy Jay-Z’s new Brooklyn basketball team colors are black and white. So unhappy that he’s suggesting Jay-Z change the name of the team to the "New York N——s." [In his column published Friday morning the veteran NY Post columnist goes on a rant:](http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/knicks/double_standard_TFPqqilUHif01I9BKkQSkN/1) > 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! Mushnick joined the NY Post in 1973 and has been the TV/Radio columnist since 1982.
