Dick Vitale: Not latently racist

Hey! Here's a video for you to watch. Hey! It's really good.

...Hey!

As if I were ever anything but completely impressed by Dick Vitale, I must say I'm even more so today after seeing this video. It's well-known that almost every arbitrary list of "unsung heroes" or "glue guys" finds itself disproportionately loaded with white players--particularly slow, short, or genarally untalented white players.

But Dickie V. doesn't take the bait. In fact, he goes the complete opposite direction, offering a list of exclusively black players, and in a few cases, putting their contributions alongside those of white stars (Aaron Gray, Tyler Hansbrough, Kevin Kruger). Most shockingly, the Delivery Man delivers with props for Wayne Chism, selecting him as Tennessee's standout role player over every announcer's boyfriend Dane Bradshaw.

Maybe Dick Vitale is just way more insightful than the usual lot of old blowhards. Or maybe this is a case of that "reverse racism" you always hear crazy people talking about.

Hey!

Hey!
