It was...something when I saw those white bread students come to the conclusion that strict quota enforcement would logically (in their minds) mean they would not have enough Negroes on their team to win at football.
Some of them showed hesitancy, like some small voice inside them was trying to say "this is wrong," but they all got there most riky-tik.
It's racist thinking, people! Disagreeing with Barack Obama is not racism. Or however the left has tried to define the word; not racism.
Also, playing football is a game. It's a complex, high stakes game that brings in lots of revenue for lots of people and institutions. It's rife with graft and corruption, and the most valued players of the game are allowed social liberties that ordinary people are not (for the most part, or until they are no longer valuable), but it's still a game.
For the students, it is central to life, whereas jobs, employment, what the rest of us call part of our every day real world, are like abstract concepts; models to mess with and manipulate to ones satisfaction.
