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.

Lighten up, deadhead. From my view point, he merely points out that "minority" males dominate participation in many sports and are adversely effected by these quotas.
If I was to point out that MEN were being screwed by this system and made up 49 % of the population, does that make me a bean counter? How can he make a point without using numbers? How can a program purport to be equalizing if the numbers show that it doesent work? That it actually discriminates?
I happen to know this guy and hes not a "racialist". He coaches and recruits the best, and couldn't care less what color the person is. And his sport is being decimated by greedy female "bean counters".
Oh, and maybe you should grow up, eh?
