    Diversity baby, diversity :D ;) .. . . . I think he was in charge in getting the MCI Center in DC up & running, which is why Bob & Co. choose him. I think he was helping to run the old Capital Centre (later USair Arena) in Landover also . . .

    I'm tired of the hating on Bob Johnson about not hiring white people, I've seen 3 or 4 jobs filled and only one of them has been black as far as I rememberand that would be Tapscott and he looks mixed. Most of the candidates for Gm have been white as well with the exception of Bickerstaff.

    There is a good chance that we won't even select a black player with our first draft pick unless Howard or Okafor fall to four, It will probally be either one of two white guys Tiago Splitter or Pavel Podkozone (sp?) or the 7'5" Korean Hi Jun Seng.

    I think Bob is gonna put together the best team and management people possible without worrying about how many, whites or blacks he's hiring.
