Lewis: Welcome, Dusty Baker

Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said he has yet to meet Dusty Baker, introduced earlier today as Reds manager, but added that he is "flattered" that Cincinnati has two African-American head coaches.

"It's not a black thing nor a white thing," Lewis said. "Let's win a lot of football and baseball games."

Lewis referred to Baker as "accomplished" and said that he knew the Reds ownership, the Castellini family, is happy to have Baker in the fold and wants to win badly.

It is NEVER a black and white thing... It is a Win / loss thing...

Maybe less talk at PBS about symbolsism and more talk about winning... Just a thought

What is really , really sad is that you may honestly believe it is NEVER a black and white thing. It MAY not be for you, but it is for some, and maybe many. We all need to re-examine and cross-examine ourselves to see what really is in our hearts. You may be surprised.
