All jobs...players, officials, coaches, etc. should be filled strictly based on ability...NOT gender or race...EVER.

I do not think this is the correct forum to argue the merits of affirmitive actions. However, I will agree, that jobs should not be filled based on gender or race, ever. The key word being ever. Affirmitive action was/is a program put in place to rectify the wrongs of a system that had oppressed those individuals who had been denied opportunities in the past. Most officials do not understand this concept simply because they are driven by ideas such as fair play, morality and integrity. However, there are still those among us, who unfortunately see the color of a person's skin before they can hear they hear the blare of his whistle...Unfortunate...but true.
