    I guess LeBetard thinks for a football team to win, it has to be ethnically homogeneous.

    Agreed. What the hell is offensive about it?

    How about starting with the fact that being Mormon or Samoan or Mexican would be a knock on your football abilities?

    That's not how I interpreted it. I think he was going more for the hodgepodge angle.

    Perhaps he could have been more elegant about it, but I don't see how it's so awful.

    (Maybe BYU alums and the Noga brothers might take issue.)

    If you were Mexican or Mormon or Samoan or you last name were Lekekekkkekkker, I'd bet you'd have no problem seeing it as awful.

    I came from a long line of Lekekekkkekkkers.

    Save it for Kuwait Lady, Fishy. She's probably rich.

    Now, there's a good old-fashioned stereotype we are looking for.
    At least that one makes sense.
