What a load

This has got to be the biggest bunch of horse pucky I have ever read.

http://msn.espn.go.com/nfl/news/2002/0930/1439447.html

Lets take a look at the numbers of non-white vs white ratio in the NFL. It is all about ability not about what color you are. If your team is losing and the owner does not have faith in you, see ya.
Look at the Steelers on sunday. They were losing with a black quarterback, he got bunched for a backup ( white ) and they won the game. Is this racial discrimination or is it a team doing what it can to win.
We all know it is about the win and not about the color of your skin.

You can't see who's black and white through all the clothes anyway unless you look REAL hard.

This one line just about sums up the 'problem' that these lawyers have about this 'inequity':

"Our motives are driven not by personal desire or financial gain, but to correct what we see as a great inequity in America's game,'' Cochran said.

Who was bringing up money?

BTW how many head coaching positions are there in the NFL? And how much are they paid?

How many players are there in the NFL? And how much are they paid?

And the racial diversity in the coaches office is the big worry according to Mr Cochrane.

The money is what this is all about. The players know this, the coaches know this, and the lawyers certainly know this.

Oh, it's JOHNNY COCHRAN, again! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!

Cochran said he doesn't want to bully the NFL or make money on the deal.

"Our motives are driven not by personal desire or financial gain, but to correct what we see as a great inequity in America's game,'' Cochran said."


WHOO-HOOO!!! Of course, he'll only make a couple million off this. Poor guy!

"Cyrus Mehri, whose name is under Cochran's on the report, served as counsel in two of the largest race discrimination cases in history, involving Texaco and Coca-Cola.

Heh, where he learned that there are some
very serious bucks involved in this type of legalized extortion....

"We're asking for a fair opportunity to compete,'' Mehri said.

I believe him. He wants his name ABOVE Cochran's next time!

I guarantee you Dennis "the sheriff" Green was not fired based on race, he should have been pitched out the door much sooner.
These people can never be satisfied.

skywalker I was thinking about that too, better bump up the white, asian, hispanic, numbers for the nba. Yao Ming could count for maybe three people, I'm anxious to see him play.

I think Baby cochran is throwing a temper tantrum because he's not in the news anymore and he's not getting enough attention

at least 10 to 1 in terms of black guys to white guys, and i don't care.

this is getting flat out stupid, the government and lawers basically FUEL racism. when they create things of "you must treat white guys like this" and you "treat black guys like this" and "have this many white guys here and that many black guys there" it's no wonder why racism is getting to be a problem again.
if we just played together, there wouldn't be a problem.

this BS will eventualy turn into being something stupid like splitting into different race football leagues or something just as stupid. haven't these people seen remember the titans?
