I decided to start a thread about this because I was kind of wondering what ya'lls interactions with local DWF's have been like or at least DWF's who are fans of your favorite team. My team, being the Dolphins, I'm pretty up on the DWFdom within this fan base that other posters here on Caste Football might not be aware of.
For example, last week on the Dolphins offensive line, DWF favorite sumo Solomon Kindley went down with an injury (what is with these sumos ALWAYS getting injured?) and in came the much maligned Michael Deiter to replace him. Deiter played pretty well filling in for Kindley. I was probably the only Dolphins fan who actually cheered when Kindley went down because I knew Deiter would finally get his chance to show everyone how much he improved. As expected, he played quite well having an entire offseason to work on his game. Deiter was a 3rd round pick last year and had somewhat of an up and down rookie season. He had to adjust to playing Guard in the NFL since he played mostly Center in college.
Deiter is probably the most hated player among the Dolphins fan base (gee, wonder why?) but one poster on Finheaven caught my attention in the thread about him on the site. He said something about Deiter having better technique, but Kindley got the starting gig because he's big and black. He didn't exactly say that, but he sort of alluded to it (perhaps it was a fellow CF member)
Now, that's just one player. I'm sure there are countless examples around the league of this. I'm just kind of wondering what you all say to these DWF's who talk down about white players. Also what are some examples of some of the things your favorite teams DWF's say about white players? I'm interested in hearing your stories... especially ones about white offensive linemen (my favorite position)
