Why is 90% of this article about the dissenting opinon?[edit]

Eight judges agree and there is nothing about their opinion? One judge dissents and most of the article is exclusively about that? Talk about fair and balanced. -- 212.63.43.180 (talk) 11:37, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The dissenting opinion is notable because Justice Byron White had been a football player. The NFL named an award for him Byron "Whizzer" White NFL Man of the Year Award which McCrary eventually won in 2001. Rhadow (talk) 14:09, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Two parties, only one mentioned (briefly)[edit]

This legal case involed two parties: 1) Runyon and 2) McCrary.

Apparently McCrary was a potential student who had been denied entry to a university, from what I can tell.

Who the frig is Runyon?

Both these people should be mentioned in the article - preferably in the lede! --98.122.20.56 (talk) 19:08, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The case is named for Russell and Katheryne Runyon d.b.a. Bobbe's School. Bobbe's and Fairfax-Brewster were private schools, not colleges. I added text to the article. In a Supreme Court case, the identity of the petitioners and their backstories are not of the greatest import. Rhadow (talk) 11:10, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
