Default Re: Racism in the NBA and NFL

Is it just me, or whenever someone cries "Racist!" do yuo think that person is a racist? I mean, you're making a generalization about white people making generalizations about black people. And it's not even actual generalizations either. You're interpreting a rule that you perceive to be racist simply because it affects a larger number of blacks that whites. And for that matter, percentage wise, there are more blacks in the NBA and NFL than whites, so yes, obviously it will affect more blacks than whites. And just for the hell of it, let's pretend that your assumptions are correct and that there are a bunch of Klansman running these two sports dominated by black athletes. Is two years of college ball actually going to hurt a player's chances of making it in the big league, aside from an injury? Frankly, I think it helps to weed out some of the disappointments and gives a tiny sliver of respectablity back to the NBA.
