The reason that the majority of players on the pro Basketball teams are black is probably that during tryouts, they were better than the other players. Chances are good that some other race guys tried out for the team also. They just weren't good enough. Now you are willing to have less exciting games, with less qualified people for the sake of AA!!! Let me guess: you'd rather go to a less qualified doctor or lawyer or computer programmer that really isn't up to snuff, but is the right ???
