Don't celebrate 9, they should be starting 15 or more Whites.

I suppose that the celebration is that 8 of the starting 11 on offense are white, including QB, TE, and 2 WR. The last is particularly shocking. Of course on D, the MLB who makes all of the defensive calls is the lone cracka.

Yeah FootballDad, 8 out of 11 is far above the average that we see these days, but when coupled with a near blackout on defense like so many other teams, my enthusiasm is dampened significantly. I used to think such teams (mostly White offense with nearly all or all non-white defense) might actually help the cause of the White athletes, with the dark defenses being shredded consistently and people/coaches waking up and giving more Whites a chance on defense and/or viewing Whites as great athletes and non-whites as only average athletes. Sadly, that rarely happens, so I look at it as a completely bad thing now.

Making it more frustrating is that the defense, although almost 100% black, will probably not be that bad. With Boggs anchoring the middle, making the defensive calls and likely accounting for over 100 tackles. It will be similar to Keuchly in Carolina, Alonso when he was with Buffalo, etc.
