You have to understand that, in many sports, most of the athletes are white and come from some privilege (or at least they think they do).
Let's face it, many college coaches would whore out their moms to get a top recruit. Telling a fib with a racist twist is merely par for the course for these coaches.
The sad aspect of all of this is that sports can be the ultimate "evener" in the sense that an athlete's color, national origin, economic status, etc. should have no bearing on whether the athlete can actually play the game. How dare a coach try to inject his/her racist tendencies into a sports recruiting pitch.
Finally, do you think that a truly great coach would try this sort of thing in recruiting? I could never see Joe Paterno, Bob Knight, or Bill Bowerman (the Jack Rose of Oregon) telling a recruit that LB is in the "hood."

: Remembering the Steve Martin fiasco. I would

:
: But do not ask him to perform or for a
