If affirmative action was law how would sports work?

They would be forced to have a number of white people on football and basketball teams correct? I know this is a hypothetical, but it would also have to apply with sports. By definition it is helping disadvantage people in an area they are not present. I am seriously curious as what they would do. Also baseball. How would that work.

I keep waiting for the NFL to demand that teams interview women for head coaching vacancies -- the Poony Rule

Kafka, the Arizon Cards are already working on this. LB coach is a woman.

In the world we live in today, I bet in our life time sports roster ethnic breakdowns will be real.

No because that would be racist. You are only allowed to help black people. If you help white people you are racist.
When I was in high school. The black people raised a stink about there being no black cheerleaders even though there were 2 black judges, 1 Asian, and 1 white. They demanded equal representation. The school board said that was fine, but they would have to do the same for football, basketball, etc... And the same black folks said that would be racist against blacks.
They don't want equality. They want to bitch about their cause of the day and play their victim card.

It would also be impossible in higher education but that hasn't stopped people from protesting for it. They don't realize every college can't have 10 percent AA staff because they literally don't have enough black teachers to do that.

We only affirm the action of minorities, even if they're in the majority.

As minorities, they should be given degrees to fill the gap. Qualifications shouldnt matter, need more black teachers.

This is so true, yet the media and libs will never see the truth...
