[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the problem racism or is it diversity?[/quote]

Good point. Many sports teams are not diverse. Could be because of things like grades, interest, exposure to the game, talent, or potential to make a living from the sport. There are probably more reasons. College football teams are not diverse when considering the make up of the US population compared to who plays on these teams. But I don't think anyone considers college football to be a racist sport. Lacrosse may not be diverse just like football, but it's certainly not a racist sport. [b]My DD has played on teams with multiple AA, Asians, Indians, players from all walks of life[/b]. More likely individuals choose not to play for reasons noted above. Not because the sport is blocking them from playing.[/quote]

And yet, there are no AA players at UVA, and maybe one at VT tech, WM and UNC.  Where did AA players go?

People go out of their ways to say that they are for diversity and inclusion; however, how many of them are for busing kids from poor neighborhood in Fairfax County to attend McLean or Langley high school?  [/quote]
