Yet, these freaks see fit to whine about how victimized these players are?
Yet so called conservatives can’t get enough of the woke NFL.
The best part about this article?? Its from the SFGate. San Francisco- the same city that drafted Trey Lance, a black QB that’s turned into one of the biggest busts in draft history.
When the opposite is true. There’s a craze for the ‘athletic QB’, one which blacks are a better fit. The problem is that QB’s really don’t need to be that athletic, it’s more of a mental position. Therefore, their representation should be more closely aligned with the IQ distribution of the general population.
How many black QB’s have a SB ring? Cam Newton didn’t. You have Mahomes and Russell Wilson (both half black?)....against; Brady, Manning x2, Stafford, Aaron Rogers, Carson Wentz, Drew Brees, Bret Favre, Joe Flacco, Steve Young, etc. etc. even while there were plenty of starting black QB’s in the league.
I’d argue there’s more than enough data to conclude that, unlike many other positions, the QB position gains very little with ‘athleticism’...it just, partly, makes up for an intellectual deficiency but can’t win it all. The best teams don’t need it.
Tom Brady was a skinny kid and was selected with pick No. 199 in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft....go figure.
And how many of them not named Mahomes is any good and worth their contract? Lamar Jackson (yuk - not worth that contract)? Desean Watson (ugh - not worth his contract)? Russell Wilson - (really not worth the contract or the cache of picks Denver gave up for him) Justin Fields (putrid)? Kyler Murray (again not worth the contract, headache and lack of professionalism)? I'll leave out the rookies (and 1st year starters) and wait and see after a couple years. Hurts might be, but he sucked this week after getting his big contract. Gino Smith - one year does not a QB make.
And then there’s Kurt Warner and Brock Purdy who barely get in (undrafted and last -draft-pick), and rise to the top quickly. The NFL rewards performance and winning. The All-Pro sample size is too small to get meaningful numbers.
The Negros are 15% of the population (unless you use advertising as a measure) yet 43% of quarterbacks and 65% of the other highly-paid other positions are Negros...
Clearly the NFL needs to be investigated for racial bias...
Marc Delucchi = white liberal racist who must keep up the narrative.
die nfl DIE!!!
Is this their researcher?
“Renowned criminology professor who ‘proved’ systemic racism fired for faking data, studies retracted”
Nobody who matters cares.
The NFL and it’s fans like winners, not whiners.
The NFL as such is a form of corruption that should be eliminated. A hypocritical pretext for gambling. The same goes for college football, which is really just the NFL minor leagues and has nothing to do with “scholar athletes”.
Off the top of my head.... Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Justin Fields, Russell Wilson*, Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray, Geno Smith..... are all NFL QBs who are also black. Where’s the discrimination?!
*: I admit it’s debatable whether or not Russell Wilson is an NFL QB....
Oh, please! I don’t know the actual stats, but I would be surprised if the percentage of black NFL players was less than 95%.
The Pro Bowl is a popularity contest; it’s a piss-poor measure of ability.
Okay so a weak team in a weak division recruits a QB. The QB or that team has an oversized impact and gets to the pro bowl.
Meanwhile a strong team in a strong division recruits a quarterback. The QB impact is nominal overall and doesn’t make the pro bowl.
These two quarter backs may have the exact same statistics, but the first is
More likely to wind up at the pro bowl. Yet race has nothing to do with it.
Yet, there is no evidence of this discrimination.
Why is it that the rest of the NFL is 56% black compared to their 12% across the US?
LOL. General managers would sell their sisters into slavery if it would get them a franchise quarterback. Skin color is irrelevant when the stakes are that high.
The SF Gate might try to do something constructive, like concentrate on San Francisco’s problems.
