Here's an interesting article from Sports Illustrated about Matthew Boling.
He runs in the US Junior Championships this weekend.

I am familiar with the writer Tim Layden and he has covered Track and Field for a while now. Not overly caste but has a touch of it like so many other sports writers.
Three things stand out in the article for me. One pertains directly to this site.
One, he briefly gives a history of fast white sprinter champs or medalists since the 1970's. Although he conveniently leaves out women which muddies up the blacks are faster water a little bit more.
Second I got the impression he was slagging Boling just a bit and more than hinted that long jumping is his best chance to make noise.
But the third issue bears investigating. I will quote the article:
"The Internet gave Matthew a nickname" White Lightening. He doesn't like it. The Internet did other things, too. Websites devoted to white nationalist and neo-Nazi voices adopted Boling. It was obscene."
Remember when SI did a full length feature on CM a while back the writer also alluded to what he described as "dark websites."
Perhaps someone here can clarify what web sites Layden is citing? Breitbart is considered I believe a nationalist site but does anyone know if they have "adopted" Boling. I don't read Breitbart anymore. I used to check in on their sports segments for about a year but stopped. I doubt they have adopted Boling.
After a quick search I couldn't find any Neo Nazi sites "adopting" Boling?
And if there was ever a time to bring up this site why did Layden not mention Caste Football by name?
A curious case. Given that this site is the
premiere site focused on white athletes on planet earth was he afraid of giving this site free publicity. Would it have killed him to at least mention the site in passing by saying there is a website exclusively devoted to white athletes where members cheer on white athlete's exploits?
Is he lying about the white and national neo Nazi stuff? This site doesn't fit into white nationalism per say and it is surely not a neo- Nazi site. Layden has some answering to do and I wonder if he just made up this stuff to juice the story up and make white fans look racist. Whenever a white athlete
threatens the grand narrative all of a sudden Nazis are involved according to the writer. It is discouraging.
The Undefeated web site that ESPN owns and promotes is about black athletes. Castefootball is about white athletes. The Undefeated is part of the mainstream. Caste Football can't even garner a blurb in an article that practically begs the writer to at least mention it.
This scenario reinforces the great hypocrisy. The media thinks it is charming and cute and right on for black fans to root for black players due to their race.
On the flipside if white fans root for white athletes because of their race it is considered evil by the media.
What is good for the goose apparently isn't good for the gander. Unfair.
