OPINION: 'The 'Winning Team' has changed the rules again. And it did so because it believes that the teams are equal. My question for the U.S. Supreme Court... is a simple one: How will the 'Other Team' ever come back?' writes columnist Eric Foster.
The U.S. Supreme Court is seen Tuesday, May 16, 2023, in Washington. In one of a spate of decisions on some of its biggest cases of the term before the court left on its summer break last week, the high court ruled 6-3 that using racial factors in college admissions is unconstitutionally discriminatory. Using a basketball analogy, columnist Eric Foster argues there were inherent flaws in the majority's reasoning.ATLANTA -- Imagine that there’s a basketball game.
This is a huge step forward for the Other Team. One hand is significantly better than none. A player can dribble, shoot, and pass all with one hand, although not without serious difficulty. How would the course of the game change after that? Would you expect the Other Team to come back? Certainly not with only one quarter left. The game is over.
Still, it would be possible for the Other Team to come back if the teams were equal in all the measurable ways. The Other Team, perhaps because it has played for most of the game with zero or limited freedom, has developed intangible skills like persistence and determination that it could rely on to mount a comeback. Perhaps the Winning Team has not developed these intangible skills. The Other Team may have an advantage.
