The only guys I really recognized were hockey or soccer writers. I can't even name a black hockey or soccer writer.

As previously stated, I looked through the list and only saw one African American listed, Len Elmore. I know you and the other one are trying to be internet tough guys, but answer the question. Who else


Charles Arbuckle, Derren Haynes, Jarrett Bell. And I'm only about 15 people in.

I love all the snooty responses to African American on this post.... like anyone here had anything to do with creating that name.

When did it become offensive? Its hard to keep up.

Offensive? Never. Silly, inaccurate, and subtly divisive? Since it was first coined whenever.
