Quote:In reading parts of this thread,  the blog article that former Lions DE Lawrence Jackson wrote regarding the Lions hiring Jim Caldwell as Head Coach immediately came to mind.   While I still am not such to what extent I agree with LoJack on his opinion,  it's the type of article that leads to in-depth thinking:

Fascinating take. So if, as LoJack writes, black players play harder for black coaches, does that mean that (broadly speaking here) black players are racist? Is that something to be concerned about or it it a case of human nature that can't be altered? Should owners and GMs hire black coaches solely to get the most effort out of their majority-black rosters? Or could he be mistaken and Swartz is just a piece of garbage who wasn't worthy of respect no matter what his skin color? Very complicated issues.
