Green Bay Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy has a monthly column on the team website where he answers questions from fans and shareholders. It generally appears to be softball questions like any fun events planned for the shareholders meeting and the Paul McCartney concert was awesome, but for some reason this month's edition also featured an absolutely wild letter from a shareholder named Marilyn. She does not waste time getting to her point. Via Packers.com:
A question from Marilyn, a longtime Packer fan and shareholder:
"Out of the 11 players drafted by the Packers in the 2022 NFL Draft none are white. I also looked at the first two rounds of 64 and found that only 11 players drafted by all the teams were white. When I Googled the question of how many white overall were drafted, Google wouldn't answer it. I wonder why. I sure hope we aren't going to have to hear all the whining about equity, justice and all the markings on hats and shoes and all else. I suggest the NFL is actually racist for always choosing and highlighting black players. I am sure that is why you chose Love for a QB when he never should have been chosen. I hope the Packers will play the National Anthem and fly the flag high with the planes going over as they always have. Anyone who doesn't respect and honor our flag and our military heroes does not belong on the Packer roster. So for the 2022-2023 season, let's just play football and leave all the politics and racism out of the stadium."

That day when the Chickens came home...to roost!!
I find it hard to believe that there are no White players
out there that are NFL ready?
I don’t follow college or pro ball anymore, so perhaps I’m
wrong.
The stats should reveal it one way or the other.
Professional sports are 100% meritocracy. The best for the positions play. Skin color doesn’t matter. Winning does.
There’s a lesson in there somewhere, but I just can’t figure it out…
Football was created by a white guy.
Why would blacks want to play?
69% of all NFL players are black. 21% of quarterbacks are black. I don’t know of any black kickers/punters.
Only one quarterback was drafted in the first two rounds.
Quarterbacks and kickers/punters have much longer careers than running backs, edge rushers and wide receivers. So even though 69% of players are black, a higher percentage will likely be drafted to replace dropped, injured or retired players, who will more often be black as well.
What is Mitch Trubisky up to these days?
First question: Why would the Packers’ CEO highlight such a ‘spicy’ question?
Second question: Why does this warrant an MSN article at all?
My guess is that both despise this woman for having opinions they deem ‘incorrect’, so they want to let the puritanical mob dox and harass her.
69% of all NFL players are black.
NFL is racist - should be 100% .
Clown World.
The real answer is “WHO GIVES A CRAP”, why would anybody care what the makeup of the NATIONAL FELON LEAGUE is?
Don’t care about them
Never have cared about them
Never will care about them.
I don't follow pro sports much but I will follow even less if my entire race is not represented.....
Yes it is.
I no longer follow the woke league; haven’t for years.
But this is apparently not a new problem:
But if my read is correct, the pendulum has swung fully and hit them in the ass.
Awhile back we had a SIRI or whatever the thing was connected to the internet that you can speak and ask it stuff. The kids would ask it to tell jokes.
So I said “Siri - tell me a joke about a Rabbi and a Priest.”
“I’m sorry, I don’t know any jokes like that.”
So you're saying that, besides the inherent racial bias of the team owners/managers and/or head coaches, football is also systemically racist, right?
Thank gawd that I was never interested in this sport!
(This is the sport with the rectangular playing field, right - not diamond-shaped?)
Regards,
It’s for the same reason you see very few blacks in NASCAR. They don’t have the balls.
