Yeah, let's see what kind of fallout there is from this, if any. I actually did see a story about this on BSPN this morning, and most of the comments were negative towards Harrison, which is good to see. But it was a small story, no screaming headlines.
You know, Kentucky is 86% non-Hispanic white. Wisconsin is 83% non-Hispanic white. Wisconsin's basketball and football teams are consistently very heavily white, with a lot of homegrown talent. Kentucky's basketball and football teams are consistently almost all black. Not sure about the football team, but the basketball players are basically all brought in from out of state. The state of Kentucky has produced white players in the past such as Cliff Hagan, Dan Issel, Dave Cowens, Jeff Lamp, Scott Padgett, Richie Farmer, Travis Ford, even Rex Chapman.
Kentucky, along with Indiana, has traditionally been one of the hot spots of white basketball talent. Kentuckians also are not liberal. They aren't like a lot of whites in other parts of the country that vote for the Democratic Party. You would thing that more white Kentuckians would notice this and would want a team that year in and year out has more white home grown talent. Not so much this year, but usually Indiana does this. Maybe with this heartbreaking loss to the white Wisconsin team more Kentuckians will realize that white players can actually play this game too. We can always hope.
