“there will be Asian players”

Richard Park (born in Korea) had a several year career.

You’re right about diversity in the NHL. It’s the only pro sport I know of that has Native Americans and even Eskimos. They try to make minorities out of Euros in general and Russians in particular though. It’s a truly odd phenomenon.

Most NYT writers get-togethers sound something like this:

I'm the most racially sensitive.

No! I am the most racially sensitive.

Actually I don’t watch basketball. The 2 hand held drive for several yards followed by a blocking call has placed the game in the exhibition category. Remove the backboard and raise a bigger hoop to 15 feet and let’s see some shooting in this non-contact sport.

Perhaps Chait should have a lengthy debate with Jimmy the Greek. LOL

The leftists still run sports television. They are racists. No news here.

That’s not a whole lot different than the way we talk about black conservatives, is it? A small, slow white guy who makes a college team through hard work and dedication is as rare as a young black man who overcomes cultural disadvantages, gets off the progressive plantation and makes something of himself.

I love ‘em both!

I don’t care at all about Univ. of Michigan, so I’m super racist.
