Gail Heriot, U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, says:

Calif. pro sports teams are falling all over themselves to endorse Prop 16, which would repeal Prop 209 from the California Constitution, allowing the state to grant preferential treatment on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, and national origin.

We're answering back with a petition demanding that these teams to allocate 15% of their positions to Asian Americans (~15% of the Calif. population).

Rules: they aren't just for the little guys.

🤣 Waiting for 49ers to require their team to consist of 87% white males to fairly represent the population. It is obviously systematic racism if more than 5 blacks are on the 45 man roster. 🤔

When? 1965?

How many whites do you think are in this country in 2020?

Fair point, that percentage includes all non-blacks. But still, if teams were ‘representative’ of the population, blacks wouldn’t have more than a half dozen players on a football roster.

LOL....13% Black population doesn’t leave 87% Whites......I think Hispanics, Asians and others need to be factored in.

Although....I want to see the 1 player in the NFL representing the Somali population.....140 pound lineman? Put him on the Vikings...they deserve it.
