Thread Name: BS: Affirmative Action?
Subject: RE: BS: Affirmative Action?
"If it's good enough for sports, then why not...

Because professional sport has devolved into a morally bankrupt, drug-sodden, corrupt cash cow for Bobert's "Boss Hogg". And because the "sport = life" analogy is infantile nonsense."

Greg,

As usual, you are missing the point. In the sports arena, people are paid what they're worth regardless of color, creed or religion. You have whites, blacks, hispanics and asians making millions of dollars per year because they are good at what they do.

If there are some bad apples at the decision making level then we need to deal with those people. Not make the playing field unlevel for everybody else. I thought we all had the same rights in this country. With Affirmative Action, it seems as if some people have "more" rights than others.

Let's not spread the wide blanket of change that will end up hurting more than it helps, but rather, find the source of the problem and start there.
