Paul Hornung, RIP. Notre Dame golden boy was fired from his radio broadcasting job in 2004 for saying the Fighting Irish needed to lower their academic standards to allow black players to play.

Hornung favored, in effect, Affirmative Action, saying “We can't stay as strict as we are as far as the academic structure is concerned because we've got to get the black athletes. We must get the black athletes if we're going to compete.” @Steve_Sailer vdare.com/articles/form-…
Hornung was immediately denounced by everyone for saying Affirmative Action was necessary, but Notre Dame did get beaten by teams who recruited players who aren't really college material. vdare.com/articles/repub…
In 2013, @Steve_Sailer remembered Hornung " For those trying to keep score at home, it's simple: being for lowered admissions standards for blacks is racist, but (as in the Supreme Court's upcoming Fisher case) so is being against them." vdare.com/posts/sailer-o…
