Noah,

I have seen a black hockey player!  One guy in the ECHL 
(East Coast Hockey League) that came to play in Peoria last 
year with one team.  Only one I have seen.

Must EVERY sport be 50/50?  Just because a sport isn't 
"diverse" doesn't mean there is racism going on.

We are WAY too nervous nellie about being PC in this country 
anymore.
