Sports team owners, like most employers, fear the hypersensitive, victocrat-oriented mentality of some prospective minority and female employees. Try running a business. Try meeting a payroll every other week. Rough, tough stuff, this entrepreneurship.

Some claims are certainly legitimate.
Some, however, result from viewing the world through race-tinted glasses. Victocrats need not apply.
