Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4184342, member: 11664"] Wonderful story. Vince Lombardi was also a coach who wouldn't tolerate racial discrimination against minorities on his team. In some NFL cities, they couldn't take the same charter bus, couldn't stay in the same hotel, or eat at the same restaurants with their teammates. Vince put an end to that and wouldn't do business with any place that wouldn't accept the whole team. Some of the players may have needed to enter the restaurant through the back door, but everyone was able to get in and be served. And this type of discrimination occurred up until about the early1960's. [/QUOTE]
