O.K. That brings things into focus. I happened to tune into the foul ESPNU on Sunday afternoon briefly, and true to form, they had some imbecile blathering on about the Mich coach's "commitment to diversity." All the voices purred and cooed at this, then went to point out that the Vandy coach was "committed to diversity, too! Why LGTBQ, and..." I found something else to listen to before I punched the radio.
Mrs. Brewingfrog, who was riding in the car with me, was mystified. "What the hell does that have to do with running a baseball program? Wouldn't he be concerned with finding the best players, as opposed to checking off a box?" I thought, "We found you a transgender shortstop! Couldn't hit Planet Earth if you heaved him/her out of an airplane, but you'd have the only tranny in the infield! Think of the progress that would represent!"
In the few moments of last night's game I had the sound on, the "diversity" nonsense started up again. Why? Why keep beating that annoying drum? Now, it makes sense. These guys are bending the rules and using "diversity" as the excuse to do so. Nobody will question "diversity."
