Food For Thought…Why is Basketball Wives Still on Air?

We have all heard about the supposed exes of NBA players who have chosen to appear on a reality show. The drama filled arguments, the alcoholic drinks thrown in each other’s faces, the hair pulling and the constant profanity have all been constant themes since the show aired in 2009. I understand that people love to watch drama but this show paints minority women in a truly negative light. The show was created by Shaunie O’Neal (Shaquille O’Neal’s ex -wife). In a past interview, Shaunie stated that she wanted ladies who have held down the fort when their significant others were playing during the season. She wanted to display that they all shared a commonality, basketball. The true commonality of the women is that they cannot stand one another. Each one seems to despise if another one does better. No one can be genuinely happy for anyone else yet they all consider themselves friends. What’s wrong with this picture? Basketball Wives needs to be cancelled because the longer the show goes on, the worse it will become. I’m over the buffoonery and lack of sisterhood.
