BYU's strict honor code will weed out most undesirables. I doubt BYU is becoming a majority black team any time soon. BYU has had Polynesian coaches for a while, and they still recruited a good amount of white players. Then again, I could be wrong. Edited by: FieldThrower

I made this connection before coming to CF, glad I'm not the only one that sees it. Come to think of it, white slaves (oh, I mean "indentured servants") were similarly discriminated against. So discriminated, in fact, that some wish to deny their existence at all. If it wasn't white slaves...

The biggest sources of "black NFL" talent (used loosely in some cases) are the SEC/ACC/Big-XII-South triumvirate. From the lists here, these seem to have lower %s of white players than the typical NFL team. I know the populations of blacks are much higher in the Gulf-Atlantic (cotton) states...

Beyond names, I think any white person with roots in the old Confederacy has some French roots, especially those living in Louisiana or the Gulf Coast. The United States bought most of the area from France anyway (Louisiana Purchase). Many "English" sounding in the States names are...

I read Seminoles hate blacks more than "the white man". They even have some interesting traditions about them and their origin.

How does FSU lose 30-something players due to academics (guess the ethnic background) and still manage an AA (All-African) defense? It's either the newest HBC or the athletic caste system is really screwed. Since I saw big white guys on the sideline with numbers in the 40s and 90s(defensive...

If only the Boston Celtics still got players with actual Celtic blood in them... I'm pretty sure there is something to this argument, but it still doesn't explain why blacks make up 70-80% of the league, and over 90% of the "skill" or defensive players. They are still 1/7 of the US, and inner...

BYU doesn't have any good feature white backs right now. DiLuigi was on the shelf for the season, and Hague went on his mission. Still, I find Polynesian Mormon players more tolerable than just going to South Central or Oak-town and getting Lavarious Gangbanger like everyone else on the west...

Speaking of Urlacher, Berman used the old "rumblin', stumblin', bumblin'" line on his INT return. True, he did look a little tired at the end of the return, but something tells me Berman would never use it on Ray Lewis or Joey Porter.

So let me get this straight: A white athlete is supposed to respect any athlete of another race when he speaks to the media, but blacks can say what they really feel (or talk crap to get attention) and get away with it? I know the conditioning of society has been carefully planned and a long...

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_the_name_Tebow_Italian The name Tebow is an anglicized [sic] version of the Flemish name Tibaut. The Tibauts came from what is today Bruges Belgium to the New Amsterdam Colony in the early 17th century. The name was anglicized to the present form (Tebow) sometime...

Are Howie and Bill Romanowski related? I know they're both from the New England area, but Chris looks more like Romo than his own father.

What is it about Franco-American scramblers? Desormeaux LeFevour Tebow (French?) Plus you could probably add in Hester, since he's white and from Louisiana (almost guaranteed French blood there). I looked up Grothe on ancestry.com, and it's north German, possibly Dutch. Pretty close to...

I should have quoted what I was replying to. I was replying to the first page's discussion in general. I guess I was in a hurry to reply, and didn't check the date or how many pages were after the post(s) in question. The whole idea that whites can't be entertaining was ridiculous, and...

So what cultures implement into warrior training has nothing to do with genetic inheritance? Environment may be a factor, but there are many groups in the same environment with entirely different athletic strengths and weaknesses. I don't see how the idea is full of holes. I may not have...

Uh, don't white people make up the most interesting trash talkers and sports entertainers in the WWE? The only "black" guy I saw that was really good was the Rock (he's mostly Polynesian actually). Most of the black wrestlers are pretty generic and almost boring when it comes to characters...

Most of that is the BCS/non-BCS conference thing. It was said to be a "Pac-10 telecast", yet both leagues are under contract with Versus. The BCS/non-BCS is a whole other level of media discrimination, almost on par with the "white-out" (as in take whites out) mentality. I bet if it was a...

I think it boils down to what our ancestors did as warriors, hunters, and even ancient athletes. Blacks are naturally good at throwing distance from all the genetic inheritance gained from generations of spear throwers. That and a general slight advantage in fast-twitch fibers makes them...
