The New York Times has found an immigrant it can't stand. He's the United States Olympic Archery coach, originally from Korea. What could possibly be wornt with an immigrant that New York Times could not like him? Could he be HIV-positive, sexually perverted, a criminal, an illegal alien, or Communist? No, they're fine with all that—Kisik Lee is a Christian.[U.S. Archery Coach Fastens Religion to His Sport| For Coach, God and Archery Are a Package Deal, By Katie Thomas, August 19, 2008 ] He's been known to evangelize, and some of the archers have found Jesus and been baptized. The New York Times can't stand it. I think they want him to lose his job.

Because of this quasi-public status, the U.S.O.C. has a responsibility to ensure that coaches do not overstep their boundaries when it comes to preaching to athletes, said Richard Lapchick, [email him] the director of the University of Central Florida’s Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport. ”They have a responsibility to be inclusive and to embrace diversity, and we often think of diversity as a racial or gender thing,” he said. ”But religion is definitely a big part of it as well.”

Never mind the archer—tell me why the University of Central Florida has an Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport.

Weird quote from this article: "Christianity is not unusual in archery." That's America! Christianity is not unusual in America.
