NUance Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I heard a rumor once—completely unsubstantiated—that early on a handful of the NU players listed as American Indians on the roster were actually African Americans. It was acceptable to have Indians on the team but not blacks back then, or so the rumor goes. Anyone ever hear anything like this? Quote Link to comment

Enhance Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Very interesting article. The great thing about sports is that it is the one organized entity that skin color hasn't mattered in for a long time. Quote Link to comment
