Race and Sports

This one mediates the debate about why blacks are disproportionately represented in professional sports in the US. It’s too late to get Jimmy The Greek (what’s with that ethnic nickname anyway!) his job back, but it may not be too late to have some real dialogue about this without all the p.c.b.s.
