The writer of this article and his cronies wrote an article on the BLR a few months ago, basically stating the same thing. After the articles in the comment section we're racist comments made by this group (one going by the name La Raza) In which the group said that the white administration is racist by forcing white peoples sports down our throats. Nobody ever responds to these articles so I't doesn't take a rocket scientist to come to the conclusion that it was an orchestrated and racial attack against the president and the athletic administration.
I didn't make it a racial thing, they did. Of course the writer of the article can't come out blatantly and say this, but he and his posse did under aliases.
If it makes you any happier, I was at the Dodger game last night hoping they would clinch, but it their worst game of the season and displayed it with bad pitching, no hitting and poor defense. I said earlier that Furcal is the key. When he got hot a while back they we're playing good ball. Now he's cold again and they have been tanking. Table setting is a big issue and Manny not being able to catch up to a fastball anymore doesn't help. He should have taken the 20 mil when it was offered. They would be stupid to give it to him now. I think GoBeach is a little miffed too, because he remembers when this group pulled the race card the first time as well. That was where I got the whole "the boy who cried wolf" thing.

: gangs around me and a public ducation system
: whose drop out rate at my high school was
: 65%, affordable college education was my way
: out. I am ever so grateful for affirmative
: action and a system that allowed to get to
: get affordable higher education. We dont
: live in a cheap state so a CSU system that
: gives people from working class communities
: a chance at the american dream is deeply
: appreciative. So I believe in the message of
: the article. Its not about race, its about a
: chance to live the dream of why my parents
: choose to migrate to the USA. Si se
: puede!!!! (yes we can).

: That article has nothing to do with race.
: Just
: because the writer name is Hector and
: students with ethnic names are quoted does
: mean its about race.
:
: I'm sure you have a spanish surname but I
: get the feeling you are pretty much clueless
: when it comes to higher education for the
: working class or low income communities.

: That's a good idea. Comm College for
: remedial
: classes.
:
: I also think it's high time to re-invent
: college. Sitting in boring lectures where
: the professor talks at a bunch of students,
: especially the largest classes is old
: school. Use the Internet more. I learn more
: in a day now on the Internet than I did in a
: semester in a class. (only a slight
: exaggeration.) But seriously, life changes
: occur so fast and often now the Internet is
: a self-teaching device that is far better.
: Some of the traditional core classes can be
: done better with annimated teaching videos
: on-line. I used to have a psych professor
: who lit his pipe constantly. We counted 65
: lights in a 55 minute class.
:
: Re-think, re-invent, make more relevant...
: save money.

: I love the line where they quote the Cal
: State
: LA administrator as complaining that
: students can't get into remedial classes.
: Here is a novel idea, eliminate remedial
: classes, and raise the standards to
: eliminate freshmen who need remedial
: classes, let them start out and take those
: classes in Comm. colleges. This would help
: aleviate the budget problems; further, it
: might give HS students an extra bit of
: incentive to pay attention in class.
