USA TODAY: University of Wisconsin Racist For Not Having An Overwhelmingly Black Basketball Team
Josh Peter, sports columnist for USA Today, has penned an article where he implies the University of Wisconsin is “racist” for not having an overwhelmingly black basketball team. “[Bo] Ryan’s system, which features a methodical, half-court offense that is key to his success but according to players and coaches can make it a challenge to recruit top African-American players”, Peters wrote, speaking of the University of Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan.
According to Josh Peters, the average NCAA Division I basketball team has nine black players and four white players. While the University of Wisconsin has five black players, ten white players, and one Native American player. With five black players out of sixteen players total, blacks are still disproportionately represented on the basketball team considering the fact that blacks only make up 2.2% of the student body at the University of Wisconsin. But that is not good enough for Josh Peter and the rest of the Bolshevik media. Until the team is overwhelmingly black, white privilege will continue to be a problem.
Memo to Josh Peter: Wisconsin 71, Kentucky 64. The previously unbeaten Kentucky Wildcats team went down against a more composed, mature Wisconsin team. Regardless of what happens in the NCAA Basketball Championship tonight, Wisconsin earned their place in finals on merit.
