Interesting Article I found on Whiskeys-Place Blogspot. It's almost a year old, but still relevant, with some good comments.
If it were written now, I think it would say "Can Tim Tebow Save the NFL?" (as over 3000 fans showed up at the Broncos training camp yesterday to literally cheer him on, and the fact that his jersey, like Brett's last year, is the number one seller.)
Can Brett Favre Save the NFL?</font>

Here's one of the comments (superb analysis...he even references castefootball.us...wonder if it was written by a CF'er):
"It's inconceivable that, in such football
hotspots such as Southern California, Texas/Oklahoma, Florida, the
Southeast, Pennsylvania/Ohio/Michigan to name a few, where tens of
thousands of boys play high school football, there aren't a great number
of white kids who aren't talented enough to play Division 1A college
football. In state after state, year after year, white running backs
break state high school rushing records and are among the best, if not
the best in their states. Whenever all-white high school teams play
against all-black teams, the all-white teams win 90% of the time, with
white running backs, wide receivers and cornerbacks outperforming their
black opponents. Yet when the big time college programs come to recruit,
these white kids are ignored in favor of the black kids. Oh sure,
they're okay for quarterbacks, and for the offensive line, but that's
often about it.
This reality continues and intensifies in the
transition from college to the NFL. The few white skill position players
invited to the NFL Combines often equal or surpass their black
competitors in the 40 yard, in vertical leap, in agility, etc. Yet,
relatively few ever get drafted, again, especially the skill positions â€"
running back, wide receiver, cornerback. Look up Mike Haas, Danny
Woodhead, Nate Kmic, Matt Jones. Even good, fast, white running backs
like Peyton Hillis and Jacob Hester who make it to the NFL are described
as "Overachievers"Â, who "lack athletic ability"Â. They're herded into
fullbacks, told to gain weight, and become blocking backs for often
lesser skilled black halfbacks.

support.
Is this due to a lack of skill, or is there another
reason? I submit that it's because these white players just happen to
have the wrong skin color. The NFL has become reflective of society at
large, in which black culture has become the ascendant culture, in which
political correctness and multiculturalism now strangles achievement,
in which whites are being bullied into accepting their dispossession in
their own country, and where they have facilitated this by bending over
backwards to insure that blacks are successful in some venue, at the
cost of fairness. It's affirmative action on steroids."
