Lazy Man and Sports

I’m not usually one to talk about race relations. I’m not nearly educated enough on the topic to speak on the subject. However, I came across this ESPN article on the Celtics and it really opened my eyes. As I was reading it, I found myself nodding in agreement throughout the article.

It brings up thoughts about Mo Vaughn’s time in Boston. I remember that he was always linked as the greatest black star in Boston when he was at his peak. Interestingly, I haven’t thought about it in a very long time. Maybe it’s sign that race hasn’t mattered. Or maybe it’s a sign that Boston can’t be singled out anymore after having players like Antoine Walker, Paul Pierce, David Ortiz, Pedro, Ty Law, and Lawyer Malloy.

I like Red Auerbach’s thoughts, “All we were trying to do here, all the time, is play the guys that, in our opinion, whether I’m coaching or someone else is coaching, is going to win the ballgame.” Sounds like a good plan to me.
