From his closing monologue on HBO's Real Sports: "So try not to laugh when someone says these are the world's greatest athletes, despite a paucity of Blacks that makes the Winter Games look like a GOP convention."

NEXT UP: Polo and NASCAR!

I heard an NPR show about the lack of black swimmers awhile ago too... and about how NASCAR was trying to woo black fans, unsuccessfully so far. Both attempts seem more like desperate PR programs than genuine concern about the lack of diversity in the respective fields
