"Jimmy 'The Greek' Snyder canned for 'racist' remark"

The "Greeks" remarks were considered racist because he implied that blacks are superior athletes only because they were bred to be ideal physical specimans, ie if white's were similarly bred they would probably be better. Incidentally, I think there may be some antropological truth to what he said but he shocked and insulted a lot of people with his insensitive remarks. Bear in mind also that slaves were captured and selected based on their physical attributes and only the fittest survived the trip over to here. It was a very harsh natural selection process.

PS.....I think Jim Brown's numbers considering the number of games he played may be better, and I'm not a Brown's fan.
