(12/23/05) The 2005 NFL season is winding to a close and for those interested in seeing an end to the anti-white racial caste system in professional football it has been another disappointing season. The Caste System Scrooges that rule the game continue on with the same trends we have seen for many years with little change in sight. More coal in our stockings! Whites are still segregated into the same positions and the media still clamors for more black players at those few positions where white players predominate.

The story at running back is the same as it has been for decades. No white players received any appreciable amount of touches out of the backfield this year. Recently, about once a year, a token white player somehow manages to get a start or two after a succession of injuries to several black runners ahead of him on the depth chart. Two years ago it was Brock Forsey, last year it was Brad Hoover, this year Heath Evans. The results are always the same though. After a couple of good outings, the kind that would make a starter out of a black player, the white back is relegated back to the bench as soon as the first, second or third string black player returns from injury.

The white runner is then returned to blocking back, special teams, the practice squad, or oblivion. The formula is played out year after year, season after season. There is no respite possible for the white runner. As I wrote in a column last year: "The formula for success for a white running back is to catch on with a team as a blocking back, be elevated to a starting running back when 3 or 4 black runners ahead of him are seriously injured, run well on every carry in every game and hope that the team he plays for is winning. This is, of course, an impossible requirement; which explains the current number of featured white running backs in the NFL â€â€￾ zero."

Sometimes a player gets to fill a special role like Mike Alstott of the Bucs. Alstott is such a talented payer that the team refuses to bury him but also refuses to let him loose. Alstott gets a few carries per game, plays well but never gets a chance to be a featured back. A power back in the mold of Alstott has in the past carried teams to championships, players like John Riggins and Mark Van Eeaghen. But not any more; there is no place for the white power back in today's game.

At the wide receiver position we were hoping that 2005 would be a breakout year. Drew Bennett was coming off a 1000 yd season and was the number one receiver on the Tennessee Titans. Brandon Stokely also had a superb 2004 campaign and with buddy and superstar Payton Manning throwing to him we expected big things. Matt Jones was a first round pick out of Arkansas by Jacksonville, and with his tremendous natural talent was expected to star.

Unfortunately Bennett was injured for part of the season and his QB, Steve McNair, was unable to get him the ball the way backup Billy Volek could, and did, last year. Stokley was phased out of the Indy offense as the "new" Colts offense essentially added up to few receptions for Stokley and Dallas Clark, the other white receiving threat on the team.

There were other white receivers that also seemed to have a chance at some success. Kevin Curtis is clearly one of the fastest men in the NFL although you will still hear the occasional clueless white announcer fall back on the old stereotype and call him a "possession receiver." Curtis should be the second option on his team but he is still stuck behind aging Isaac Bruce.

Brian Finneran of the Falcons was hoping to be a primary target of the scattershot arm of Michael Vick. Finneran did rack up some catches and yards but also had to deal with the constant degradation of his skill by the media and the unpredictability of his quarterback's passing skill.

Wayne Chrebet of the Jets, who occupied much the same niche as Finneran (the dreaded and racially stereotyped position of "possession receiver"), started out well but suffered what proved to be a career ending injury.

Jeremy Shockey returned from an injury-plagued 2004 to have a banner year in 2005. On a pace for 1000 yards â€â€￾ if he makes it he will be the first white tight end to do so in 19 years â€â€￾ Shockey has helped turn the Giants into a playoff team and has become a favorite target of Eli Manning. With his aggressive style of play and take no prisoners attitude Shockey is one of the most notable white players in the NFL. Several other white tight ends have had good seasons and can be expected to star in the future. Todd Heap had a couple of monster games for the Ravens. Some other TE's to watch: Jeb Putzier, Doug Jolley, Dallas Clark, Jason Witten, Chris Cooley and Heath Miller. Witten had 982 yards receiving in 2004.

Critics of the idea that there exists anti-white racial discrimination in the NFL will have to explain what happened to Joe Jurevicius this year. Jurevicius, who has been an accomplished receiver all his career, and had previously excelled at Tampa Bay only to be unceremoniously cast-off, had an excellent string of games for Seattle after he became a starter due to injuries to Darrell Jackson and Bobby Engram. He has been a big part of the resurgence of the Seahawks as the team won seven consecutive games with Joe as a starter. Jurevicius played so well that it seemed natural that he would remain in the starting line-up.

But, true to Caste System policy, as soon as a black player is able to return, the white player must be returned to the bench. So Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, a staunch Caste System supporter throughout his coaching career, followed the script to perfection and Jurevicius is now a backup. It is impossible to see how Seattle can be considered a better team with Jurevicius on the bench and Bobby Engram on the field. We always hear that NFL teams just want to put the players on the field that will best help them win, regardless of race. But in this case the "you don't lose your starting position to injury" rule is invoked to return a lesser black player to the line-up.

The media desire to see the QB position become more black took another turn in the wrong (or right, by us) direction as it has been a disastrous year for black QB's. Daunte Culpepper, Donovan McNabb and Byron Leftwich have all been injured. Michael Vick, despite the tremendous hype he receives, is showing more and more every game that he does not have NFL caliber QB skills. Other black QB's are sitting at the back of the bus as far as passer rating is concerned. The 27th, 28th, and 30th rated passers are Vick, Anthony Wright, and Aaron Brooks.

Note that after Culpepper went down and veteran Brad Johnson came in the Minnesota Vikings have gone from being a team disaster to a possible playoff team. A neutral observer would also pick Billy Volek over a washed up Steve McNair, and Matt Schaub over Michael Vick.

Things were a little better on the defensive side of the ball. White players are becoming slightly less scarce as defensive linemen and safeties, and several are stalwarts at the linebacker position.

Brian Urlacher is arguably the best player in the game and is leading the Chicago Bears to a possible post-season berth. He is the type of player that dominates the game and makes teams create game plans just to stop him. Urlacher is one of the best athletes in the NFL.

He leads a number of white linebackers that are among the NFL's best. Along with Urlacher, Mike Vrabel of the Patriots, Ben Taylor of the Browns, and Zach Thomas of the Dolphins were among the leaders in tackles this year. Dan Morgan of the Panthers and Keith Brooking of the Falcons also have had great seasons, while rookie David Pollack of the Bengals is an up-and-comer.

Even though white players are prohibited from being cornerbacks they still excel in the defensive backfield at safety. John Lynch of the Broncos, Stuart Schweigert of the Raiders, Mike Furrey of the Rams, Kevin Kaesviharn of the Bengals, and Brian Russell of the Browns all had good seasons.

There are two types of defensive linemen in the NFL: huge linemen who are large blocks of fat that clog running lanes and use their immense girth to stumble into the QB; and defensive linemen who are chiseled, muscular warriors, who use their strength, speed, and athleticism to tackle and sack. White d-linemen in the NFL are exclusively of the latter type. Kyle Vanden Bosch and Aaron Schobel are a couple of specimens of this type of player who are among the leaders in sacks this year.

Wes Welker and Tim Dwight ranked among the top 10 punt returners this year. They are players that should see the field more as wideouts, but are used exclusively as backups at that position.

Every kicker and punter from top to bottom was white, an amazing statistic considering that since there are thousands of all black high schools and colleges that one would expect there to be at least a few decent black kickers â€â€￾ since according to the media they are all such great athletes.

For Caste Football, the NFL in 2005 was more of the same with a few breakthroughs by talented white players, although nothing at running back and cornerback and little at wide receiver. Still, the year featured many white athletes playing great and continuing to wreck the stereotypes that the media continues to label our people with. We look forward to an exciting end to the season and a better 2006.

To be realistic, I doubt they go all black ever, but the trend sure is disappointing. Unless something big happens, it will be hard to change the discrimination that many whites face in sports from Junior High School all the way through the professional ranks. This is why it is so important that we make as many people aware of what is happening as we can.

Colonel and J.B., we can now change "have gone" to "went" and "a possible playoff team" to "a playoff contender." [img]smileys/smiley1.gif No thanks to Daunte.

Brian Urlacher is arguably the best player in the game and is leading the Chicago Bears to a possible post-season berth.

ANNNND we can change "possible post-season berth" to "division title."

The Vikes were eliminated in last Sunday night's contest against the Ravens, who, by the way, featured another resurgent white quarterback, Kyle Boller.

The last four teams contending for the playoffs in the NFC are Dallas, Washington, Carolina and Tampa Bay. Either Tampa or Carolina will win the NFC South, after that two of the remaining three will make it in as wild cards.

From what I read on ESPN here, who gets in is pretty convoluted, with any of the remaining four possibly facing playoff elimination with a loss, and three still with the opportunity to win their division, including the Skins.

Right. I said they became a playoff contender, not a playoff maker. If they'd beaten the Purple Birds they would still be a playoff contender, at least mathematically.
