maybe you want to rethink that statement because what you are saying then validates what Jimmy the Greek was saying back in 1988.

Among other things, Snyder, 70, says the black athlete is "bred to be the better athlete because, this goes all the way to the Civil War when ... the slave owner would breed his big woman so that he would have a big black kid." Snyder later apologizes for the comments but his career as a broadcaster is over.

What is absurd about saying that? People are nothing more than smart animals and we have successfully bred animals to be all sizes, shapes, and strenghts. Slaves were treated like animals and slave owners had over 200 years of forced breeding. Based on that, why isn't it possible that it could be a contributing factor in the reason why more black athletes have a share of hte athletic population that is much larger than their overall population?
It doesn't mean he shouldn't have been disciplined for saying that. He should have realized before he said that that people would be offended by it.
