That was one heck of an art... (Below threshold)1. Posted by Cousin Dave | April 17, 2007 1:40 PM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
That was one heck of an article written by Jemele Hill. I know that she must have crossed a lot of her ESPN colleagues and jeopardized her career by writing that. The effort is much appreciated.
If I could, I would like to pose another question to Ms. Hill. ESPN has been making a lot of noise recently about the decline in the percentage of major league baseball players who are black. The implication is that ESPN doesn't think that there are enough black players in baseball, whatever "enough" may mean in this case.
So the question is: given the implication that some sort of quota should exist for black players, and given that the number of major-league roster slots is fixed, which non-black players does ESPN propose should be banned from baseball so that more black players can be called up?

Agreed, there are bigger evils in this world than "offending" somebody. We should stop focusing on race as a motivator for anything.

Her email address is printed at the end of the article. I've sent her a note of respect, perhaps others might too.

Not to malign Miss/Mrs/Ms Hill...but if the only good, honest journalism is at ESPN, maybe it's not a realistic hope...
