HOUSTON (AP) — Narrowing
the focus of his national dialogue on
race, President Clinton gathered
with an all-star lineup of sports fig
ures Tuesday to discuss stereotyping
and other race issues in athletics.
As an avid fan of college basketball
and major professional sports, Clin-
, ton is well versed in such sensitive is
sues as white dominance in coaching
and sports team ownership.
The Houston meeting, scheduled
for 90 minutes and broadcast live on
ESPN, was the second of Clinton’s
three planned nationally televised
town hall meetings on race. The first
was in Akron in December.
Why sports?
“Race in sports offers an analogy
that really can be translated into the
larger society,” Judith Winston, exec
utive director of Clinton’s race initia
tive, said before the session at the
downtown Wortham Theater Center.
“We think this is a great oppor
tunity to illustrate some substantial
points using sports as an example of
the way we dealt with race relations
— both our successes and our con
tinuing challenges,” she added.
The Houston program featured
such sports luminaries as Jim
Brown, the former Cleveland
Browns running back; Keyshawn
Johnson, a wide receiver for the
New York Jets and five-time
Olympic medalist Jackie Joyner-
Kersee. Also on the program were

Clinton’s first town hall meeting
on race, at Akron, covered a wide

range of topics. His hope in Hous
ton was to narrow the focus to
sports in a way that would engage
Americans who might not other
wise want to discuss race issues.
“We’re trying to broaden the au
dience of the people, to get more
people involved,” White House
deputy press secretary Joe Lockhart
said. “We think it can make a very
interesting conversation, a very
good way to start a conversation if
you use sports as the vehicle.”
Policy, owner of the 49ers, said
the NFL, which has only three black
head coaches among its 30 teams,
is more aggressively addressing
race issues as a result of Clinton’s
call for a national dialogue.
“We are really on the verge of
throwing tokenism out the win
dow,” Policy said before the town
hall meeting.
At the Akron session, Clinton
struggled to draw out the opinions of
panelists, who were mainly univer
sity students and community lead
ers. Save for an exchange on affir
mative action between Clinton and
a conservative author, the panelists
agreed with each other for nearly the
entire session. Clinton conceded
that deeper sentiments would have
to be expressed outside of his forum.
“This is the beginning, not the
end,” Clinton said then.
In Houston, the forum’s makeup
angered Latino activists who com
plained that too few Hispanics were
represented. Felipe Lopez, a basket
ball star at St. John’s University, was
the only Hispanic on the 11 -member
panel. ESPN added Lopez after a Lati
no group wrote to Clinton to protest.
Lockhart said ESPN had invited
numerous Hispanic sports figures,
who declined for various reasons. He
said the White House was satisfied
with the final group. “It is a good pan
el bringing a wide variety of opinions
and experiences,” Lockhart said.
In a move that Lockhart said was
unrelated to the controversy over the
panel’s makeup, Clinton met pri
vately with a group of local Hispanic
leaders at his hotel before the forum.
