“I prefer the acronym DIE because DEI policies could potentially place the wrong people in the wrong jobs, based on demographics and external factors rather than on merit and competence.” Extremely stupid people.

I love it when a liberal says it can not be done in sports because some are just more athletic than others. I simply remind them of what Jimmy the Greek once said before letting them know, “But why not? If it can not be done in sports due to athletic ability, it certainly can not be done in business due to intellectual ability, or the military due to physical ability”!!

Silence or name calling begins at that point.

The average height for men is 6 feet. Yet there are hardly any players that short in the NBA. Shame!

I have come to believe that tptb have deliberately kept whites out...they make up the metrics and pick and choose which ones to follow..this is why we have stupid outlandish black players that have no business being on a team....look up max kling..terrific white player that can’t get past the NBA practice squad even though he’s sensational....its all fixed.

No, start with allowing Republicans on college faculties. That’s where DEI breeds.

DEI is RACIST!. Discrimination is unfortunately a fact of life, but it crosses all racial boundaries. STOP this insanity you political whores.

When you called them that, everyone in DC turned around.

I remember when they complained that they allowed ONE white player on the US Olympic Men’s basketball team.

The acceptable term is “white boy”.

I wonder if Cooper Flagg will get the “Caitlin Clark” treatment in the NBA.

Companies are doing it for women in engineers and programmers, why not elementary school teachers or KIA?

No more fat shaming either. How dare professional sports exclude “Persons of Overweight”?

The problem is that DEI winners will be “out for the season” in about 3 plays. “Horton, weighing in at 176 pounds, is in at left tackle...and Oh My, they’ll need the stretcher for that.”
