FOOTBALL’S WAR ON THE MINDS OF BLACK MEN

African-American males are only six percent of the United States population, but comprise nearly 70 percent of the players in the National Football League. When we focus on the sport's high collision positions, the number of African Americans playing by percentage rises substantially. Nearly 30 percent of white NFL players are kickers, punters, or quarterbacks, all positions that have a much lower chance of being involved in concussion-causing collisions. With nearly 1,200 of the NFL's 1,700 players being black, football's concussion problem is also clearly a racial problem.

For decades, young black men have laid themselves on the line for a game which has given most of them very little back in exchange. They have risked their bodies and minds to make millions for universities, and were compensated only with scholarships and the slim chance of an NFL contract. So how and why have families been tricked into sending so many young boys off to play this dangerous game? Black lives must matter on the field, as well as on the streets.

I read an article that said it was unthinkable to let a white guy play cornerback ‘cuz black guys owned that position. Save for Jordy Nelson all the white WRs are always possesion type of wideouts.

The reason blacks vastly outnumber whites on NFL defensive teams is because they are better athletes. -Tom

That's some racist bull$hit right there. Just to generally say that blacks are better athletes is kinda stupid. Look at all the sports where there are few to no blacks; swimming, ice hockey, rodeo.

I am referring to playing defense in professional FOOTBALL .
Not to other sports. - Tom
