    LOL.... I thought the potential racism was that all the guys who are considered the best athletes are black.

    I guess the first apology from the Director of Integrated Marketing range a little hollow. And yes, It's racist.

    Notice the evolution of boots' position. First, he says he does NOT think it was intended racially but "some asswipe" might take it that way. But later he translates the company's attempt to apologize for the blunder as proof of being a "card carrying racist!" Well, at least he's consistent.
