    Are Professional Sports as racist as our talking head media clowns claim?

    Just saw S.A.Smith go on his usual RANT about how Fangio is either Dumb or a liar.

    Population breakdown of U.S.A.
    64% White
    12% Black

    NFL
    68% Black

    NBA
    80% Black
    Nobody mentions the percentage back in the 80s was way closer to 60/40.

    Seems to me Players association presidents have been and are currently black.

    Coaches, G.M.s, Assorted other front office personnel ? I have no idea the break down, but admit to a much higher number of whites in these positions versus men of color.

    Owners. Not sure if you have the money, and you qualify under the leagues terms, and are the high bidder on a franchise, the color of your skin being a factor would open up a huge lawsuit if denied ownership.
    Plus, how often are any of these teams for sale anyway?

    Good point by Dom, whites having been disappearing in sports for 40 years and no one cares.

    If there should be quotas on gms/coaches/owners, then there should be quotas on players.

    Personally, I would rather see the best available be in place regardless of anything else.
