obviously if there weren’t quotas all of these browns and gays wouldn’t make it. the teams would be full of the superior anglo-saxon athlete, the way god intended.

Celebrating diversity on your teams is smart. It has the potential to get more people interested in your sports, which means more participants and (most importantly) more money to fund training and attract the best of the best. Only a racist butthurt moron wouldn’t get that.

Is there a quota to get diverse athletes onto the team? Or are diverse athletes just making the team?

I bet The Slippery Slope would make a pretty good name for a winter game themed gay bar.

Joe Johnson, Dwyane Wade and Derrick Rose? The 2011 NBA trade deadline is nuts!

It’s like the visual equivalent of a food or drink having good mouthfeel. It…

My favourite part of my first time curling was when I fell on the sheet and lay there for half a second, prompting many of the people there to scream at me to get up before I started melting the surface..

I haven’t curled in a couple of years, but I’m going in a few weeks with a couple friends to a “learn to curl” session to get a refresher.
