“I’m saying that you’re fucking stupid if you think that teams draft black quarterbacks only to force them to run more often than white quarterbacks.”
“The fact that you feel the need to nitpick races tells me that you make race a priority which, by the way, is MY definition of racism.”
Right, post-racial America. You’d prefer to pretend racism doesn’t exist anymore (MLK solved that) and black people are just whiners. That’s okay. I don’t give a fuck about you or your opinions and the world will change for the better—you’ll just be on the wrong side of it.
81% of coaches, GMs and QBs this year are white. 67% of NFL players overall are black. If racism has nothing to do with this, what is it about white people that you think makes them inherently better at doing these jobs?
The fact that you “left out Kaepernick because he’s mixed” shows that your racial awareness is zero. Obama is “mixed,” but when you live in this racist country being “mixed” doesn’t save you from being hated for your race. I’m sure you think it’s bullshit, and in fact I bet you’re one of those people who think that…
That’s why I said “most people don’t see it,” because people like you are committed to being oblivious to racism.
f1. “I see no correlation between running quarterbacks (I believe that’s what you’re talking about) and skin color.” Do you follow football? Look at the quarterback rushing leaders every season. Tebow is the only white QB to rank on this list in a long time. (Kaepernick is black by the way.)
The English language has officially run out of Cleveland Browns jokes.
If you read down you’ll see that I already answered the same question but I’ll copy and paste here. I’d be happy to answer any further questions or criticisms if you have them:
Black quarterbacks tend to have a somewhat different skill set that is (often) better tailored to the modern game that is evolving out of college football. NFL teams draft quarterbacks and pay average QBs outrageous sums of money compared to the most elite players at other positions because they become the “face of…
It took about 10 years for these guys to accept what is now a truism: “The NFL is a downfield passing league.” Now that the tide is shifting and NFL defenses are evolving to stop this approach, coaches are even more committed to protecting the current status quo. Most people don’t see it, but race has a lot to do with…
Preach. You’re one of the few people I’ve ever encountered on the internet who gets this. Farmer is the first NFL person I’ve ever read who’s said it out loud.
ALTERNATE HEADLINE: NFL panics about the dearth of white QB talent, thinks college offenses are “too street.”
Actually quite the opposite. What they’ve failed at is having one of the 10 QBs who is capable of running a conventional NFL offense, which happens to be something most NFL teams struggle with regularly. In the college game, coaches have been forced to develop exactly the kinds of workaround Farmer is talking about…
Not from my experience in college. I personally knew six women who were sexually assaulted in four years I was there and I wasn’t even a particularly social person. None of them reported it. One of the frats that was particularly notorious would hang underwear or bras from the tree outside every time a brother slept…
Fearmongering? If 25% of white males were victimized by a particular form of traumatic violent crime just for showing up at college you can damn well say for sure this behavior wouldn’t be accepted. And what if a sign had been addressing “Jews” or “Blacks:? Would that be okay? Instead it’s targeting and intimidating…
And this comment exposes why Jets fans deserve exactly what they’re getting. Even Jetsier!
More like the 1860s. We read an article from a New York newspaper about the horrors of “The Sporting Life” (which is what they used to call young men slutting it up) in my History of Sexuality class back in college.
