No, I think by 2014 my analogy is better. I will say that the white guys had been coached all their lives, had families who loved the sport and helped them learn to play, and had given them great equipment and lots of tee times. The others had recently begun playing, didn’t have coaching, etc. The actual structure handicaps in favor of white guys and “skipping holes” had been eliminated by then. That is the difference between “inequality” and “inequity”.

On a side note, I am astounded at the amount of people who still have AOL email addresses.

If there's one thing I love it's torturing analogies. So here's my take. That analogy is really good if we stipulate that the white guys had received golf lessons since they were 6 thanks to their affluent upbringing while the rest of the entrants had not received any lessons and had only played enough golf to register an official handicap. So they thought they were entering a "fair" competition where they could pretend that everyone had an even shot and ignore their tremendous structural advantage. Now that the playing field is leveled they are aggrieved. There, that enough torture?

Y'all need to get over the fact that almost all receivers are going to drop a few balls per season and the difference between the best and the worst isn't going to be that significant. For me that's way down the list in evaluating WRs behind things like ability to create separation, willingness and ability to block on the perimeter, and elusiveness and speed to go all the way when running after the catch.

If it did, it would be a helluva thing. Takings have been a big Bundy-wing conservative shibboleth for a while. The cognitive dissonance on the court would be audible from here. Not that that would stop them from ruling in Trump's favor.

Is it? The suggestion is that the initial framework before was entirely skill/merit based. Since we know that isn't true, the analogy is flawed. It's more like they were playing a game of golf where the white guys had a few strokes handicap or maybe got to skip the first few holes. They also may have had better clubs, a caddy, and have played the course previously. The rules changed to remove the handicap and give everyone else slightly more comparable equipment.

This feels like a sound reason to replace him. Especially if all he is doing is almost getting us titles. -
We had a 6 game contract during independence with ND. It was a 2-for-1 home/away balance. We needed good games as an independent and so we were grateful at the time to get such a big series with so many games with ND. We had agreed to play 2 games in Bend first and did that, as you noted. We were trying to get the return game in Provo scheduled and then they made the deal with the ACC in 2012 that complicated the series and delayed the third game. It ended up that they wouldn't fulfill their agreement to come to Provo, but we ended up negotiating and playing a neutral in Vegas to close out the shortened deal, playing only 3 of the 6 game deal.

Good post. Two things 1) In the bolded above you’re saying they “lost privilege.” I don’t think they had it to lose, but were denied opportunities. It’s a narrow but important distinction, but we agree that the most privileged people did not lose much if anything when efforts were made to establish a level of parity. 2)We haven’t really talked about this, but my own observations of the period was that the people who did benefit were themselves almost always enjoying other forms of privilege - affluent, well connected, etc. To the extent that “greater diversity” was achieved, it came at a cost of making class and power structures even more rigid and impenetrable.

Nah--this won't get to SCOTUS anytime soon. By the time it gets to the, it'll be the Newsom Administration's problem.
