Sportsline: NBA. Take a look at this article. This (like Titanic) is being marketed as historically accurate and yet no one in the know (or out, for that matter) has ever heard of a "Negro Basketball League."
I think this is somewhat belittling to the Negro Baseball League, where people really did have to struggle to break the color barrier. This was not an issue in basketball! But someone has now fabricated a race issue. (Like we don't have enough issues already!)
Hey, if you have a cool idea: "Let's make some old tyme looking logos and sell them on clothing" Great! But don't try to pawn it off as though it's historical.
Sportsline: Illinois. Here's one that hits close to home. Here is a boy who wants to bowl on his high school team. The problem? The team is a girls team. There is no boys team. Fine, no boys on girls teams. Here's the real problem: Girls are allowed to play on the boys teams. That's right. If there is no girls team offered in a sport that a girl wants to play, the girls are allowed on the team. Not so for the boys!
Why does this hit so close to home? A girl was allowed to wrestle, yes, wrestle, on the boys team in my high school, but boys were not allowed to compete in any girls teams!
The boy who hopes to bowl faces suspension if he even shows up to tryouts for the bowling team. Where is the ACLU now? Oh, it's a white male being discriminated against... They aren't interested in that.
Well, there it is: Just my opinion
