I really get tired of these people crying about race when it comes to coaching and Player rosters. Why is all the NBA rosters filled with Black Players. Why don't the Joe Morgans of the world say something about that. Why didn't anybody cause a uproar over John Thompsons Hoya Paranoya teams in the 80's and 90's No way that piece of shit would allow a white boy to play on his squad. Nobody questions these things

John Thompson was allowed to say his racist remarks and practice his racist policies. He publicly stated while at Gtown he would not recruit white players. I will say, suprisingly when he retired he recommended his white assistant get the job...he has since left the program. After Thompson finished coaching, he was handed a job as TV analyst, without ever a question to his former racist remarks.

I wonder what the O/U for days until fired would be for a white NCAA baseball coach, who could field a competitive team with all white players would be if he said "I will only recruit white players". ???

The past is filled with unjust policies, but the current one-sided political correctness has gone too far.

Its about time I read a quality article
Joe Morgan is so dead on its not even funny
First of all Joe Morgan played with the Major Leagues and we did not
He is black and I am not
So he defineatly knows more about this issue than me
I mean just look at the astros roster
They are a team based on pitching but I have no idea how they got this far
Look at their crappy rotation
Bradon Backe- he sucks whens the last time he had a 1.12 era like Bob Gibson
Andy Pettite- sure hes pretty good and left handed but so is Dontrell Willis and he can hit too

Roy Oswalt- pure white trash so overated
His era was nearly 3
Dump him sign Darren Oliver and maybe youll win the World Series next year

Roger Clemens- you gotta be joking
He won a Cy Young in what 1985? I was 3 years old! Its a racially biast election anyway
Hes 90 years old. Looks like the Old Boys Club to me.

Joe Morgan pegged this perfectly Im just shocked theres so many white NBA players
Someone needs to do an investigation

Joe Morgan!

All Joe Morgan did was state the obvious. As I watched the game last night, I thought the same thing to myself. This was not a racially motivated comment, but a show of concern. How can we get the african american male back involved with game of baseball. Instead of all of you guys jumping all over Joe Morgan for his comments, let's try and figure out a solution an get more black communities involved with baseball.:drink:

I don't mean to thread hijack, but......


[Q] From Randall E Larson in Tucson: “I have more than once seen the corruption irregardless used in some standard writings and with a straight face. Has it become acceptable?”
[A] The word is thoroughly and consistently condemned in all American references I can find. But it’s also surprisingly common. It’s formed from regardless by adding the negative prefix ir-; as regardless is already negative, the word is considered a logical absurdity.

It’s been around a while: the Oxford English Dictionary quotes a citation from Indiana that appeared in Harold Wentworth’s American Dialect Dictionary of 1912. And it turns up even in the better newspapers from time to time: as here from the New York Times of 8 February 1993: “Irregardless of the benefit to children from what he calls his ‘crusade to rescue American education,’ his own political miscalculations and sometimes deliberate artlessness have greatly contributed to his present difficulties”.

But, as I say, it’s still generally regarded by people with an informed opinion on the matter as unacceptable. The Third Edition of The American Heritage Dictionary states firmly that “the label ‘nonstandard’ does not begin to do justice to the status of this word” and “it has no legitimate antecedents in either standard or nonstandard varieties of English”.

After that diatribe, the bottom line remains. Irregardless is in fact, a word. Luca, as an informed literary professional, "just say no" to the useage of it!

How many white guys are on Southern and Grambling's teams?


Usually 2 - the kicker and punter.

Although, I have my suspicions that the mascots are whiteys too.

There's a whole lot of racism in the world, but MLB is serious the LAST place I'd ever look .... there are so many great players from so many countries with so many different ethnicities that this article is just silly.

MLB owners (not named Marge) care about 1 thing - winning. Hell, teams even take crack heads, white and black alike, like Howe and Strawberry just to better their odds.

It's a fact now that most NBA teams strive to bring in a "quality" white player to compliment the team roster. The reason for this is that they finally figured out that there's just not enough affluent blacks to fill their arenas with season packages and deluxe seating. OPPS.....am I being the racist now?

Joe Morgan...the ultimate racist. As was previously stated he wouldn't have said a thing if the whole team was black. On Sunday night baseball he seems to act agitated when his white co-announcer states something that he doesn't agree with entirely...I think he resents playing second fiddle in the booth as a COLOR(ed) commentator.
so true, joe is one bitter guy. Too bad he has a national forum, maybe time to take him off the air.

MLB has roughly around 8% black players in the league. It's not unimaginable to think a team might not have a black player on the team.

How many hockey teams don't have any black players on their team?

I am sick and tired of ignorant black people playing this damn race card. get over it. Black athletes would rather play BBall and football instead of baseball. Is it totally out of the realm of possibility for white people to dominate a sport? Lord knows black people have their basketball, and football is relatively split. People need to take the Beetles advice and "LET IT BE"
