[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all better be careful where you start taking this thread ... there are plenty of students of color who are at private schools well before 9th grade who end up playing sports, plenty of students of color who come in at 9th grade who are not athletes, and plenty of white students who are recruited at 9th grade for athletics.[/quote] Why "be careful"? There are issues of race, socioeconomics, and academic-preparedness that it doesn't do anyone any good to ignore. I think it's much more important to "be careful" not to pussyfoot around those issues. Really, don't you think the athletes, the other student and school administration recognize the issue? Everyone can see the racial differences. it should be discussed, openly, as all such issues should be. [/quote]
