This being Black History Month, I would like to ask people to celebrate the similarities and not focus on the differences between people of color and not of color.

Sports and entertainment have always been windows of opportunity for African Americans, when other doors were closed.

Very often we see coaches who have not been successful being recycled, instead of looking to a new face or a new name who has demonstrated the ability to handle the job.

Distance running to a professional athlete in my day was five laps around the field. And you stopped each lap to take your pulse.

I believe that today's players who are Christians feel that it's important and their responsibility to acknowledge their faith.

We talk about freedoms for African-Americans but unless you have more than one option politically, how free are you?

Players today are concerned about the money, but the large dollars only go to those players who are the best.
