>>>Mike, I'm glad Alabama's star won the Heisman too, but I'll be glad when/if we ever get to the point that we don't consider race in these things. One of the great things about professional sports is that the teams always try to put the best player on the field, irrespective of their color, otherwise, we would have a formula based on population percentages and each team (NFL) would have 13% black players, 3% gay, 20% from California, etc.

>>Lately I have read grumblings of why are there not more latinos and asians in college and professional football? It is disconcerting.
