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.
