Bobby Douglas is not a "bean counter". He was and is a great coach, who got his position on merit alone
Fact is, what he says is richly ironic. Fat cat upper middle class (mostly)white women (you know, the ones that do "crew", et al) got themselves a quota which is screwing every male athlete out there , including poor inner city kids who happen to be good at sports and not as good at everything else.
I take it you're not a big "poor kid sports scholarship" fan? Well, maybe thats another discussion altogether. But not all "black folk" are "bean counters", if I get your drift.
Did you read the same article I did?!?
Can you explain to me how the following quotes are not the quotes of a “bean-counter”?
If I get the chance, I would like to speak up for minority athletes, who are affected in a particularly insidious way by the proportionality quota...
Among collegiate baseball players, for example, approximately one in 10 is a minority. In soccer it's one in eight and in track it's one in four…
a sport mostly unheard of in the inner-city neighborhoods…
It saddens me enormously that the chances are ever-decreasing that a determined African-American or Latino boy from the projects will be able to use a sport such as wrestling to elevate himself…
But not all "black folk" are "bean counters", if I get your drift.
Nice try Jesse, but you do not “get my drift”
People, like the author of this article, who measure success of a social program by skin color, are "bean-counters" by definition.
And your baseless and pathetic insinuation that I am a racist based on that statement is typical of vapid, weak-minded, liberals who can’t argue a statement on its merits.
Grow up.
