I think this was a great letter for a local association and maybe even a national audience.
The worries over the use of "race card" are a bit overblown in my opinion.
I have been at a National when race was an issue, have definately seen it at NFHS State Tournaments and in regular season issues.
The events I have observered have been varied and over many states over a lot of years, so it is not a common problem but it does exist.

All in all, I think you wrote a great item that should generate some response at your local level.
Some will step up and make an effort, some will lay down and cry, others will be indifferent.
However, everyone will know that there is at least one person out there who is bold enough to step up and lead.

I have always thought that unless you confront a problem, the problem never gets cured.
Or to put it in terms of the sport, if you don't call the pitch a ball how will the pitcher know she needs to adjust her aim in order to get it right.
