I'll be honest, I'm a little confused by this. It doesn't really look racist to me at all, it looks like a market analysis.

Maybe he is trying to create a controversy to drive up the team's price.

It isn't racist at all. Bars and clubs do the exact same thing.

He must have been threatened to make it public and put a terrible spin on it, as usually happens when race is brought up. May as well release it yourself and make it out like you're reformed and so disgusted by your own actions.

Might as well cash out his investment, likely for a nice profit, and wash his hands of the whole thing.

He should just ride it out until something more interesting happens and everyone forgets about this. That could take hours, but it's what I would do.
