Just read this from an SI article:
- In a rare serious All-Star moment, good-guy Phillies reliever Tom Gordon lamented the diminishing number of African-Americans in baseball. There's only one, Vernon Wells, in the starting lineups at the All-Star Game and just five on the two teams, including also Jermaine Dye, Gary Matthews Jr., Ryan Howard and Derek Jeter, who is of mixed race. "It's something we're going to have to find a solution for,'' Gordon said.

Of course Tom Gordon is a "good-guy". First of all, if we are being PC correct and everyone is equal, why should this have been of concern ("serious moment") and secondly, why is a 'solution' needed! This kind of thing makes me want to spit in the face of Gordon.Edited by: Sark6354201
