George Blanda

[Don Wassall]

It's difficult for young people to realize how popular George Blanda was as a player and NFL icon, playing as a quarterback until he was 43, and kicking clutch field goals until he was 48. Blanda was from an era where white men would never have routinely deferred to black team "leaders" and otherwise suppressed their personalities and beliefs by acting instead as pale imitators of the dominant ghetto ethos of the locker room and on the field of play.

But the sheer overwhelming numbers socially engineered to give blacks an aura of permanent athletic dominance, combined with the system's ever-present PC police always ready to pounce on and ruin any white man who violates the Cultural Marxist party line, have greatly diluted white individualism, expression, and racial pride.

Here's a reasonably good article that details Blanda's amazing career and personality: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2916811 Edited by: Don Wassall

I would have loved to see Blanda comment on the rise of the Caste System. He began playing football when Don Hutson was the greatest wide receiver and safety. He ended his career when Jerry Rice was in high school. What an era he spanned!

I remenber seeing George Blanda play QB for the Houston Oilers on TV during 1960-61. When the AFL was formed, it was felt that whoever signed Blanda would win the AFL title, since Blanda was the best experienced quarterback available to the new league. The Oilers won in the first two years and lost a Sudden Death playoff in 1962.

There was a best-selling book about Blanda that came out in 1972 by Wells Twombly. There was a quote from a black Oakland sportswritewr named Sam Skinner who said, "When George played for Houston, I thought he was a racist because he wouldn't throw to Charlie Frazier. Now, I see that I was wrong because George throws to Warren Wells." Blanda answered, "I didn't throw to Frazier because he had bad hands, I discriminate against receivers with bad hands."
