There was an interesting study in Soccernomics about owners/boards suffering for their discrimination in the 70s and 80s -- basically, due to prevailing attitudes, black players of equivalent skill were paid less than their white counterparts. As a result, teams with a higher percentage of black players overperformed their whiter counterparts (once controlling for wage, of course). E.g. a team with a $100,000 wage bill and 50% black players did better on average than on with a $100,000 in wages and only 10% blacks, since whites cost more for similar skill.wtf? quotas should not even be mentioned when it comes to a company
if (and it is a big if) quotas are to be mentioned it is of course only an issue for government jobs
owners/boards are stupid and will suffer if they pass up on talent due to stale moronic racism
Hopefully we see something similar happen (and maybe it's already happening) in the managerial sphere -- hiring anyone but the most meritorious candidate costs a club wins, fans, etc.
