    Small-School Stigma? Or Something More Obvious?

    Terrific piece, Jimmy, as usual! I'll be sure to share this one with my dad, who enjoyed your Heisman Candidate / Blocking Fullback and Too Small? Or Too White? pieces. He enjoyed both of them and is anxiously awaiting another. Thank you so much for your hard work, JC!

    Memorable Threads

    I found the site as I'm sure a fair amount of other posters did; Google searching for "white running backs". I stumbled upon Caste Football, and my obvious first reaction back then was, "Woah, this is racist!" Further reading, however, piqued my curiosity and the eloquence and informative...

    2009 Pre-Season

    Tons of white athletes seeing time for the Ravens on defense, either first-teamers, or rotation guys. Paul Kruger (!) and Jarrett Johnson start at two linebacker spots while Kelly Gregg assumes his spot at the nose tackle. Backup NT Justin Bannan, who started in Gregg's absence last year, has...

    Pittsburgh chases more diversity!

    The Nationals, at least are headed in the right direction. They hired a competent and savvy GM in Mike Rizzo and signed a (hopefully) future stud in Stephen Strasburg. They're even starting four whites on an everyday basis. Who would have thought?

    Inglorious Jew Basterds

    Dammit, exactly. Another convenient fact too often missing from World War II-themed movies. Every single German soldier is a seething, hate-filled monster bent on destruction. Most soldiers were probably just ordinary people like me and you. Terrific point, Jack.

    2009 Pre-Season

    Watching Eagles-Colts. Some notes so far: -WR Anthony Gonzalez caught a beautiful fade pass from Peyton Manning for a touchdown in the first. He did it over a good CB in Asante Samuel, too. -DE Jason Babin got the pseudo-start for the Eagles, in place of the injured Trent Cole. He's been...

    Football Equipment Thread

    A new season, and some new pieces of equipment proliferating across the league! I watched some of the Giants preseason game the other day and I've noticed that many of their players (and other players across the league) have accepted the sinfully ugly Revolution Speed as their headgear of...

    Stephen Strasburg - Young Phenom

    Rugby goes Olympic

    Indeed I do. A-side fullback for my college team. Trying out scrumhalf on B-side, which I think is much more fun.

    Pittsburgh chases more diversity!

    That sums up how I feel now rather succinctly. As is evidenced by my username, I arrived at Caste Football a die-hard Eagles fan. I used to carefully scrutinize ever last detail emerging from training camp, but focusing mostly on white players. But this year, I've watched the Eagles cut...
