| @Aaron- For better or for worse, these were the pictures that were available from various compilations of athletes mug shots. I was not oblivious to your concern, however and in the process of making the quiz realized how skewed the percentages were (at one point I had 20 images and 19 of them were of African American athletes). Out of the same concern that you've raised, I then went and sought out other sources adding Harding, LaRussa, Clemens, Daly and Staal to try to give the quiz more balance. Here's one CBS compilation of mug shots in which 20 of 22 athletes are African American: http://www.cbsnews.com/2300-500151_162-585004.html to give you a sense of what I had to work with. There were several athletes, of all races, whose mug shots I did not use because of photo quality or because they simply were not well known and would have been nearly impossible to get. (Shin Soo Choo, for example, would be known here in Ohio but probably not easily recognized elsewhere.) Regardless, my point is that I hear your complaint and actually worked to lessen it before contributing the quiz. |
