Honestly, I could care less if every single offensive lineman was black. The skill positions on offense (WR, RB, TE) and all defensive positions are the only places I care about whites getting a fair shot. Kicker, punter, oline, who cares?TorontoArgos said:GWTJ said:One third into this season and I sure am pleased with the whiter looking NFL. It may not be a lot, but this is, from our perspective, a breakout season for white skill position players.
The NFL is known as a copycat league. We will see if more white players get opportunity after this season. And we will see how many white players producing this year will keep their jobs next year.
It seems the only position we are losing ground at the moment now is OLine.

Just because a team has sumos doesn't mean they won't be able to run or throw. Yes, they will be a liability, but even if the NFL starts to trend blacker along the offensive line there will still be good lines and bad lines, just like there have been good white lines and bad white lines.snow said:MostDangerous said:Honestly, I could care less if every single offensive lineman was black.

I do, because how the hell will white runningbacks run the ball behind immobile sumos and how will qbs throw? That is if you want all white defense as well. Right now sumos are able to have decent games because they are usually going against other crappy sumos. This is the reason why they probably phased out white defensive linemen in the first place, so they can phase them out of offensive line as well. What you get is inconsistent play on both sides. And when the qb doesn't get protection they will claim teams need more mobile qbs (who will most likely be black)

Regardless of their motives or the results in the game, I'm pretty sure this was illegal. Of course, I don't expect Holder to investigate it. He's too busy covering up the crimes of ACORN and the Black Panthers.
Leonardfan said:Anyone else think these helmet to helmet hits will cause a surge in white defensive players? White players play with great fundamentals and are great form tacklers.

<div>And still running Chris Johnson was pathetic. A backup RB should have been in if the Titans weren't going to kneel down, but Johnson still had to try and get his 100 yards apparently. It was amateur hour all the way -- shows how the NFL is motivated and warped by TV advertising, padding stats to the point of almost making them bogus, and by trying to please its huge fantasy football audience, the latter being the main reason the NFL hasn't followed the NBA and MBL in becoming boring and passe among the DWF masses.</div>
