Sports is Acidic to Academics said: You realize I don't disagree right? 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.
