I am genuinely optimistic about the future of white players, specifically in caste positions such as DB, WR, and HB, why?
Young kids and teenagers who are ultra exposed to modern sports culture, are idolizing black players more than ever, with how they play, and how they act.
There’s many different ways you can take this, but I think this can potentially be a good thing. Today’s kids don’t exactly want to be the next Tom Brady like they used to, they want to be Odell, Jalen Ramsey, Lamar Jackson, they want to be flashy, they admire black players more than ever and want to be like them. My high school playing days I noticed this big time, and that was VERY recent. I see incredibly young white kids going to 7 on 7 camps, joining elite skill position camps, they want to be the next flashy hot shot skill position player. Same with basketball, white kids want to be the next Allen Iverson or Lebron James, they want to dunk, they want a piece of the black hype. They want to be the running back doing flashy jukes, or the receiver running flashy routes and snagging balls over DBs heads, or being the badass lockdown DB.
To make a long story short, I think the future will be bright in the sense of more white skill position players. The downside is having little white kids acting like wiggas and being divas, trying to be black, but the way I see it is this behavior is being seen less as “black” and blurring more into just being “cool”.
I follow social media such as twitter, YouTube, Tik tok, Instagram, etc very closely, and black behavior is becoming so normalized that the newest generations don’t even see it as being black, they just think the dances, the sports, the music, etc, is the norm. This is good and bad in my opinion. Im pleasantly surprised to see these kids taking the better parts of black culture and ignoring the parts we don’t like.
One more time I’ll reiterate, the young generations of white players want to be skill position players more than ever, and are picking up traits of top athletes, mostly black.
I’d definitely like to hear your guys opinions. The reason I’m exited and optimistic for the future generations is because they are becoming numb to black culture and making it their own. Like I said, pros and cons to this. I can’t help but like the idea of a huge surge in white players and the loss of black culture. I think right now we’re currently going through the lowest point for white athletes, and starting now, there will be a strong rise. Seeing elite High profile 7 on 7 camps with growing white participants just gives me hope. Just my two cents.
And if you think I’m totally off on my analysis, I’d gladly like to hear, maybe knock some sense into me. I’m just very optimistic
