San Francisco 49ers General Thread

Looks like the Steelers will have to find a new black punter after monopolizing them the past several years. But then again with Tomlin finally gone the team may actually go with a White one this year. The black ones they employed, including Waitman, were erratic as can be. Curious isn't it that blacks can't kick, to go along with their many other deficiencies in various sports and positions within sports.

49ers agreed to terms with P Corliss Waitman, formerly of the Steelers. The 49ers have now signed a new long snapper and punter while also re-signing kicker Eddy Pineiro in the previous week as they look to completely overhaul a special teams unit that finished 2025 dead last in net punt average and 24th in kickoff average. The led the league in field goal conversion rate, leading to the new deal for Pineiro. The financials of the contract were not immediately made available.

About Tomlin employing black punters, this observation:

Many years ago someone (don't remember who) wrote that there never has been a consistent black place kicker in pro football. Funny how that is never mentioned to my knowledge. Anybody ever seen a writer, player, commenter, point this out?

I've seen gloating about "no White running backs," but never "no black place kickers."

This is a true observation.

I think if anyone looked at why with any honesty, you would conclude that blacks are just not know for accuracy with their hands or feet. Probably cognitive with hand-eye or foot-eye coordination. Are there any elite black archers, shooting marksmen or dart players? With their feet, I can’t think of many blacks in soccer who take the free kicks or a center midfielder delivering pin-point passes. It’s such a known stereotype that many jokes are made regarding black gang shootings. Headlines that read “Shooting at the Juneteenth BBQ; 13 shot and wounded with zero dead”.

The White advantages in hand-eye (and foot-eye) coordination and quickness are significant for sure.

It's rare when there's a dominant black pitcher in major league baseball, which is why the usual suspects still often ritually drag out the name of Bob Gibson when great pitchers are mentioned. Gibson's heyday was about 60 years ago and he ranks 48th on the list of all-time wins with 251, or about a hundred less than Greg Maddux, Roger Clemens and Steve Carlton. Overall, Whites make far better pitchers than blacks and a lot of it has to do with better hand-eye coordination.

"Blacks can't swim" is commonly used in a comical way. But except for occasional outliers blacks apparently also can't kick, or play golf or tennis or hockey, and even baseball when it comes to American blacks and not the Caribbean blacks who are groomed from a very young age to help prevent baseball from being "too White." The recent Winter Olympics were at least 99% non-black even though there are millions and millions of blacks who live in cold weather climates in North America and Europe. Shouldn't they effortlessly be dominant in winter sports the same way they were supposed to effortlessly take over golf 30 years ago when Tiger emerged on the scene? "Black dominance" is limited to football, basketball and sprinting thanks to the artificial construct known as the Caste System in sports.

When it comes to football, quite a wide range of physical and mental athletic skills are involved -- and we're supposed to believe blacks are vastly superior in all of them -- other than kicking but no one cares about kickers.

Welp you all just spotted a weak spot in the Caste System, thanks.
