...recent publicity on affirmative action has really upset me. Not only is this a racist solution, but it is a detriment to those it "helps" and society as a whole.

In essence they said this isn't real sports so we don't have to play by the real rules. It may have been kind, but it was patronizing. Tara VanDerveer, coach of No. 5-ranked Stanford, says, "It's like the parent who wants something for a kid, and because the kid couldn't get it you rig it or buy it. That's the problem people are having with...
