Nobody wants to see affirmative action for basketball, we like our #2 ranked team just the way it is. But so many people see affirmative action at the universities as the only step to educating a class of people. Maybe the real problem is that people who are self-educated face extreme employment discrimination, they are forced to basically bribe off a university with loads of tuition and eventually a degree to even be considered for good paying jobs. You’re sneering at people by basically calling them too stupid to stand on their own two feet as an individual. You’re forcing them to be socialistically identified by their race rather than their innately individual human quality that knows no skin color. Word to the wise, Abraham Lincoln was self-educated on virtually all branches of knowledge.

I agree, those who get in on sports scholarships are for the most part academically worthless to the institution, white and black alike. I could make an equally racist claim that Northern Europeans are better at academics than the native Africans and their descendants because the harsh winter climate of Northern Europe necessitated larger brains for the planning of agriculture, food storage, home winterization, etc. The current practice of separating th genders into sports could be seen as affirmative action. People would fear that a co-ed basketball team would be dominated by men, so we separate the teams (among other concerns like sexual harassment). Would it not be schematically equivalent to have separate but equal sports teams for different races if we can do it for gender?

Let them just use their bullets instead. And why is a sophomore in physiology used as a reference. Is she some kind of certified expert on the use of tasers? Couldn’t find a doctor on campus to comment on it? Great reporting as usual SN.

Slaves used to be selectively bred to ensure the strongest and largest offspring, which in turn would make the most effective field hands. No b*llshit. In modern times, black communities (and many other minority communities) have seen sports as a way to climb the social ladder out of poverty, despite the fact that less than 3% of college athletes go on to play professional sports as a career/job. Your analogy doesn’t stand up to scrutiny… the fact is that sports actually act as a form of affirmative action, by allowing minority students to go to college/university on an athletic scholarship, that many would not have otherwise been able to attend.

Smash mouth football versus PSU. This Spartan is a Floridian and I need you to run up the score so you go bowling in the Sunshine State, not Texas or Arizona or heaven forbid, Detroit. Not only win, but win big. I wanna see killer instinct for 60 minutes, not pull up short with two seconds to go deja vu Iowa. Big Win=Big Score = Bigger Bowl….go for it!
