Agree Engelbert- quantifying the "privilege" is very subjective. I would also question the speaker who, essentially says, if you dont take away from this exercise what I think you should take away from it, you are a fool. Silly me, I was thinking that if everyone is at the same starting point, most of the "disprivileged" are the ones with the built in advantage/privilege as evidenced by the racial composition of the NBA and NFL. ( There is much more to life than the NBA and NFL, but the author chose to make his analogy with something sports related)
