Community Council board
member, proposed the let-
ter.
"To me, the most dis-
gusting thing about the
situation is that Ms.
Schott felt comfortable
enough with her peers to
make racist and anti-
Semitic comments," Mr.
Brown said. "She must
have felt they wouldn't say
anything. And they didn't
for four years.
"Team owners are busi-
nesspeople that shape pub-
lic opinion. By writing this
letter, we are not accusing

"Our concern is
that such
comments may
have been
spoken during a
conference call
with her fellow
owners."

Detroit team owners of
anything, as they have not
been mentioned in the
alleged conference call, but
rather, we are expressing
our concern and hope to
these individuals," he
added.
According to the Jewish
Community Council, no
team owners have publicly
responded to the letter.

he Jewish Commun-
ity Council and the
Detroit branch of the
NAACP have joined
together in writing a state-
ment to Detroit sports
team owners, telling them
what is and is not fair
game.
The letter, dated Dec.
10, 1992, and issued to
Red Wings owner Mike
Ilitch, Lions owner
William Clay Ford and
Pistons owner Bill David-
son, is in response to the
racial slurs allegedly made
by Cincinnati Reds owner
Marge Schott.
Included in the letter is
the passage, "Our concern
is not only that such com-
ments have been allegedly
made by a single ignorant
individual, but the fact
that these may have been
spoken during a confer-
ence call with her fellow
owners. If this is true, it
indicates that she felt com-
fortable making these
alleged comments to a
group of prominent busi-
nessmen who listened
without comment."
Jewish Community
Council and the NAACP
also urged Mr. Hitch, Mr.
Ford and Mr. Davidson to
use their role and status
as sports team owners to
publicly affirm their com-
mitment to equal opportu-
nity.
