Another season has started, and if anything the situation for white players looks worse than ever. The tremendous purging of talented whites like Lumsden, Hass, etc. has already been thoroughly discussed here. No one in the media (or in the coaching fraternity) cares about them. They never will. What really bothers me is how the few white skill position players who seemed to have a chance to play are being treated. Look at Kevin Curtis. Here is a guy who is one of the fastest players in the NFL, with a significant number of long, dazzling plays to his credit. We knew he was being typically discriminated against by being consigned to the #3 role on the Rams, while ancient and far less productive Isaac Bruce will start until they bring in another black to replace him. However, I didn't expect them to completely phase Curtis out. He didn't have a pass thrown his way yesterday, apparently. Did anyone see the Rams' game? Was he even on the field as a WR? I wouldn't be surprised if they demoted him to #4 behind McDonald. Curtis is about 28 years old, and at this rate he will never get a chance to start in the NFL. What a total travesty.
Then there is Matt Jones- how can it be possible that a guy who is listed as #1 on their depth chart spends less time on the field than their #2 & #3 WRs? Has anyone ever heard of anything like that before? Jones is an absolutely dominant player already. They could probably throw to him on every down, because no DB can stop him. He is too big and fast. But, they are obviously holding him down on purpose. We all know why. The fact that they pull him out a lot near the goal line, while lobbing balls up for smaller, less talented black WRs says a lot about how hard these coaches are actually trying to win these games, which are probably fixed anyway. Obviously, any 7th grade gym coach would know that lobbing the ball to your biggest and most talented WR is a no-brainer. If Jones ever becomes a superstar with all the impediments in his way, it will truly be a miracle.
Then there are the injuries. Really it is incredible how often the few white players who play in this league suffer serious injuries. Dan Morgan has yet another concussion. How can that be? Why don't we ever hear of Ray Lewis or Joey Porter suffering concussions? Come to think of it, how many black players ever suffer concussions? Is it just me, or do the vast majority of concussions in the NFL happen to strike white players? Shockingly enough, one of only 3 starting WRs in the NFL, Joe Jurevicious, is out with yet another of his countless injuries. But then again, in a "surprise" move, Jurevicious didn't even start the game. Again, a supposed #1 WR for a team doesn't even start the game. The ONLY way that would ever happen to a black #1 WR is if he committed one of the various crimes and/or team violations that they are prone to commit.
Sorry for the rant, but I truly feel there is no hope for whites in the NFL or NBA any longer. There is such an obviously discrmininatory system in place against them, and the fact that the media and EVERY ex-player who has a public forum is completely silent about it shows just how powerful the forces are who control that system.
