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

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?

You insanely stated that the man who said “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” was not a “bean-counter” and you implied that I was a racist for calling him one.

It is not I that needs to lighten up.

My assertion, based on the author’s statements, is inarguable.

Your implication was absurd. Maybe you're just tired. Go to bed.

Does the coach really care about the racial implications? My guess is that he's just using that angle to argue against a law that affects his livelihood. What percentage of his boys graduate? Does he care? If Title IX results in more education in college and less semi-pro sports, that's good. The primary mission of a university or college should be research and teaching, not voc-ed for the NBA and NFL.
