[Hans Moleman]

Sports is about the only place left where one advances only on ability with no affimitive action influence. Now they want racial quotas for baseball? What's next? Three balls and four strikes for minority players? A seperate set of bases closer to the plate for minority players?

Before we all go off on amusing theoreticals, can we establish the reality that they're discussing hiring of management, not players? Not that I'm in favor of such things (quotas) at all, but rhetoric about different rules for players is irrelevant. As is the win-loss record of black managers. What is relevant is that in the sports world, qualified blacks seem to have trouble even getting interviews for open positions. Why is that?
