It is not the proudest of times for the Colorado football program. An offensive tackle has been suspended for sending a racist e-mail to a Hispanic member of the cross country team. The guy's girlfriend, also a member of the cross country team, also had something to do with it, and she has quit the program.

The e-mail says some really lovely things about dragging a guy behind a car and calling him some names that I don't want to repeat.

You really couldn't make your program seem more unwelcoming and hateful towards women and minorities if you tried. Colorado could hire Adolph Rupp, Bob Knight, Al Campanis, and Fisher Deberry and they'd still seem a little bit more sensitive and aware than they do now.
