Israeli mayor calls black basketball players "niggers"

"An Israeli mayor was quoted Tuesday as referring to black basketball players as "niggers."

"I don't want to see foreigners; I want to see Israeli sportsmen," the Hebrew-language site of Ynet news quoted Holon Mayor Motti Sasson as telling a sports conference at an Israeli college.

"If you want to watch niggers, you have the NBA for that," he added, referring to the American National Basketball Association."
