NFL to present new resolutions to Rooney Rule, which includes draft-related incentives

This thread really belongs on a political forum. However, I agree that progressive tax rates and preferential treatment for those with physical and mental disabilities are far different from preferential treatment or discrimination based on race. We have laws prohibiting the latter. As a matter of law, we can do one and not the other.

As an aside, I do think that socioeconomic background or class can be a factor in school admissions, which would help inordinately African-American and Latin students. However, such a policy would be focused on individuals rather than race-based outcomes. For example, I do not think that a minority student whose parents are professionals and who attended the best schools--think President Obama's daughters--should receive preferential treatment with admissions in the best colleges so that some degree of racial diversity at the school can be achieved. However, it seems to me that the youngster from an impoverished background and a modest school who was able to score 1200 on a SAT and who hungers for an education is a better admissions candidate than the student from the best schools with a materially higher SAT score.

But I am now getting off the topic.
