EPTI wish there were some sort of semblance of balance b/w the various ethnicities w/ regards to race as a subject for a piece, b/c as it is, it's really rather ... petty.

I think you missed what the guy is saying. He means that whenever he sees an espn.com article that talks about a race-related issue in sports, the author is generally black (which unfortunately is true). The biggest offender is Jason Whitlock, although he doesn't work for ESPN anymore. Whenever he subs in for Rome, the radio show becomes three nightmarish hours of debating a racial issue, usually one that Whitlock has blown out of proportion. Here's an amusing example: Let me tell you how bad things are for Leftwich in Jacksonville. It's my opinion that coach Jack Del Rio intentionally keeps three black quarterbacks (David Garrard and Quinn Gray) just to keep some of the pressure off Leftwich, who isn't embraced by Dirty South football fans. | ||

Its easy ro pretend racism doesn't exist when you are white. Since when are black people held back in sports? The majority of the NFL and NBA are black players... When it gets to hockey, and baseball I don't think that's true anymore. | ||
