‘New York Post’ Columnist Under Fire for Writing Racial Remarks About Jay-Z

After writing a cutting editorial about Jay-Z’s decision to move the New Jersey Nets to a new arena in Brooklyn, a New York Post columnist has come under fire, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

Phil Mushnick, who has made headlines before for his no-nonsense writing style, took to the pages of the Post to express his dismay with the rap mogul’s control over the Nets, which played their last game in New Jersey last week.

“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?” Mushnick writes. “Why the Brooklyn Nets when they can be the New York N——s?”
