If there wasn't whatever form of bias/self exclusion for whatever reason, the NFL numbers should reflect the percentages of the early 70's. I would slightly disagree with Don on the running back totals I would say it would be higher on the white side and the corner totals would be lower. maybe those numbers would be reversed. If cornerback would be more physical(ie pre 78 rules) the numbers for white corners would rise though...Edited by: white is rightDon Wassall said:WR: at least 80 percent white
RB: about half white
CB: at least three fourths or more white
If Major League Baseball wasn't fanatically committed to bringing in as many non-American players as possible, the product would look a lot like college baseball, e.g. overwhelmingly white, 95 percent or more. Baseball is a sport that tests all the basic qualities of athleticism, not just speed -- hand-eye coordination, power, endurance, consistency, intelligence, unselfishness, feel for the game, etc. The very slight advantage on average that blacks have in straight-line speed is negated by the significantly larger number of white athletes from which to draw, many of whom will have the needed speed to play at the highest levels.
Football also tests all attributes of athleticism and not just straight line speed. With no Caste System, college and professional football would be predominantly white. The exact percentage is of course a guess, but mine would be in the area of 75 to 80 percent white, about what the NFL and AFL were in the mid to late 1960s before the Caste System was instituted with a vengeance (and not coincidentally when the Cultural Marxist revolution to make the U.S. a non-white country also kicked into permanent high gear).
At 20 to 25 percent of players in a "level playing field" NFL, blacks would be found at about twice their proportion of the U.S. population, a credit to their athleticism and interest in football.

For the overwhelming majority of Blacks to make it through High School and on to College based solely on their own merit is an unattainable reality. You would see college numbers upwards of 95% White and the Professional ranks would be even more so.
You have a point there the amount of guys that make the NFL from the "beer" leagues are minimal. I can only recall Eric Swann and maybe Joe Horn making the NFL without college experience. In the old days "Night Train" made the NFL out of the beer leagues. At one time in Canada the Senior League provided quite a few talents but I haven't heard one non college player making a team in years......Don Wassall said:reclaimsocal said:To be completely honest, the numbers of blacks would be insignificant at the professional level because without the caste system, they couldn't cut it at the college level.

Good point, though I-A college football is essentially the NFL's minor league system. It's a financially lucrative arrangement for both principals, and especially a windfall for the I-A programs since they are grooming football players to be professionals without having to pay them anything while taking in many millions of dollars in revenue, while also pleasing the reigning totalitarian gods of political correctness to boot.
