Should they seek race counseling?

Have race-specific entrances, water fountains, concession stands, parking lots, rest rooms? His anthem plan resurrects such long-gone racist history.<\/p>\n<p>Only a pandering boob who exercises no foresight would even consider such a plan, let alone enact it. But Goodell has allowed attending or watching an NFL game to become a political exercise, an avenue to express and stress racial discord as opposed to watching a football game.<\/p>\n<p>And as a white minority \u2014 I\u2019m also a Jew \u2014 who was raised to recognize wrong from right and never black from white \u2014 I\u2019m tired, make that sick and tired, of being tacitly condemned as a racist by sports commissioners who work in mortal fear of being called racist by the selectively blind, outraged, wishful and politically ambitious.<\/p>\n<p>If Goodell truly believes that the NFL\u2019s white fans are in need of a racial awakening and makeover, just say that, rather than install repugnant reminders, starting with separate national anthems.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boone_searches_hard_for_ways_to_lose\"><\/span>Boone searches hard for ways to lose<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Of course, I saw it. It was hard to miss. Yankees manager Aaron Boone again played bullpen roulette until he landed on a reliever to blow the game. He does so every chance he gets, thus, until further notice, he\u2019ll do so again and again.<\/p>\n<p>But he\u2019s no different from most MLB managers who work off computer spreadsheets loaded with analytic fantasy scripts. The actual game? Ignore it. Don\u2019t believe your lying eyes!<\/p>\n<p>Thursday in Boston, the Yankees had the Red Sox beaten until Boone removed reliever Luis Cessa \u2014 for no good reason.<\/p>\n<p>With the Yankees up, 3-1, in the eighth, Cessa entered and made all-gone, 1, 2, 3, on just five pitches. Perfect. And with the DH, no worries about pinch-hitting for the pitcher.<\/p>\n<p>But Boone went to designated closer \u2014 don\u2019t leave home without one! \u2014 Chad Green in the ninth. Soon the Yankees were 5-4 losers in 10.<\/p>\n<p>But new-standard, mind-throttling senselessness remains the specialty of all the houses. In the fourth, one could see why Brett Gardner is batting .191. He had a 2-0 count against starter-without-portfolio Tanner Houck, righty pitcher versus lefty batter, thus Gardner loaded up to swing for Uranus and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>The next pitch was so far inside it hit Gardner \u2014 but not before he swung at it!<\/p>\n<p>In the words of Maynard G.
