The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida.

Never in the furthest reaches of my imagination could I conjure up such an "institute." Who in their right mind would dream up such a thing? Why do they exist? Just to shake down those organizations who don't get an "A"? What scores did the NHL, the PGA, and NASACAR get? Are they inherently racist organizations?

The NBA is about 95% black!

Blacks are about 13% of the population.

I get it. Million-man math.

“While the NFL and Major League Baseball have shown significant improvement on racial and gender hiring in recent years”

I concur, there just aren’t enough white guys or woman on teams in the NFL but they are now showing significant improvement according to this study.

How many Islamists play in the NBA? Palestinians? Hispanics? Asians? Native Americans? Transgenders? Women? Wookies?

Well, thank goodness for the NBA!! This explains why the membership is so representative of the general population. Viva diversity!

TIDES...noted a decrease in the percentage of African-American players [in Major League Baseball] on opening day rosters from 10 to 8.5 percent from 2010

And the percentage of white players in the NBA is....?

If I recall correctly there was quite a bit of grumbling about racism a few years ago when Steve Nash won the MVP twice.

This is a gag post, right?

It’s so utterly ludicrous on the face of it that it must come from The Onion.

>> NBA gets highest marks for racial and gender hiring

Perplexing.

>> TIDES has been studying diversity hiring in sports since 1987.

I understand TIDES is an operation driven by Socialism.
