NFL racial distribution by position

[Lew]

There's a thread on reddit about it. Those of you with accounts there should comment on the racial caste system and the discrimination white athletes face. If you don't have an account it takes less than 1 minute to make one.

Eight white RBs?

I count six. Toby Gerhart, Danny Woodhead, Rex Burkhead, Peyton Hillis, Chase Reynolds, and James Develin. Brian Leonhard and Beau Blankenship didn't make NFL rosters.
Who am i missing?

Zach Line and Rhett Ellison?

Note: I'm not at all trying to 'start something', and I doubt those are the two you were looking for. But Vikes DO have both Line and Ellison on their active roster.

Will they be used? Well, that's depressing. :icon_neutral:

 

[TwentyTwo]

I have 18 WR's....Not counting IR(like Abbrederis who would have made team)
AFC
East....Edelman, Amendola, Hartline, Decker & Hogan
North....Campanaro, Sanzenbacher
South...Whalen & Durham
West...Welker

NFC
East...Cooper, Maehl, Beasley
North...Nelson, Janis, Thielen
South....Bersin
West...Walters


Ridiculous there is not a handful of white CB's in the NFL....i'd like to talk to HoF CB Dick LeBeau(Steeler coach) & ask his opinion about WHAT has changed since he played?? BTW Ross Ventrone(Steelers) Practice Squad is listed as a CB....

As a kid I unknowingly witnessed their demise in the 80's...Scott Case was a CB (led the NFL one year w 10 INT's) & moved to safety late in his career...Brian Davis(Nebraska/Redskins) was one of the last white CB's to go high in the draft.....Stan Smagala & John Mangum were great CB's only to be moved to safety....Speciemen Jason Sehorn was All Pro caliber who ruined his knee returning kickoffs in meaningless pre-season. Dustin Fox mysteriously disappeared....The Top Safety Today Eric Weddle was a shut-down CB who owned Megatron Calvin Jonson in their Bowl game....WOW!

Feast or famine with white defenders...like Don said

The TE position has been flexing it's muscles...that's encouraging!

As the secret leaked the NFL "INSISTED" a team take Michael Sam after he was cut...I believe the same has happened for the NFLto promote more black QB's....That secret just never quite leaked out. (when in the 80's only 2 black QB's started Cunningham/Moon) maybe Doug Williams part-time

Will have to check the RB's again...

If correct the O-Line (had always been curious) has 10 more whites than blacks(137 to 127)...Centers 5:1...Guards 50/50....

There are essentially 3 positions that make the league heavily black and skew the numbers, WR, CB, and RB. All other numbers in there look fair to me, although we could certainly use a few more DTs and LBs, the fact is, those aren't exactly glamour positions.

In a non-AA world, WR and RB would be at least 50-50, then get some more CBs in there, maybe 30-40%, and you have a half-white league. To me, the ideal setup would be that the percentage of whites mirrors the general population, so 60-65%, if white football players don't face the kind of discrimination they do at every level.

 

[Pie]

Looking at the chart tells you what makes a position "black-friendly" and what makes a position "white-friendly."

Black positions are ones who only have one job and have tons of coaching.
White positions are ones that either have multiple duties(QB/C/TE) or are the sorts of positions that require the individual to go out and hone their craft without constant oversight(LS/P/K).

In the case of RB, which is certainly a black position, the instant the position requires more versatility and nuance(3rd down) is becomes a much more white-friendly position.

I think it could be classified as 'The Curse of the Team Player.' White kids tend to be the sort that will try and make themselves into a more well-rounded contributor and team player, which should be seen as a benefit, but is instead dismissed as being deficient in whichever overrated metric is considered central to the position(weight for DT, "loose hips" for CB, drama for WR).

we should have more nickelbacks, we did have an increase for a moment but not that great. It requires a little more intelligence and quickness, lots of cbs just get lost put closer to the middle of the field not getting the sideline as a boundary and having to use different angles. Since slot guys run more option routes, basically their route depends on coverage, so its harder to defend. But you would probably need more slot guys in order to run those kinds of routes, and order for those routes to work you need a good qb White) to be on the same page. Welker didnt run as many last year with the Broncos though, not sure why.

 

[Extra Point]

Seeing these numbers puts into perspective how badly whites are discriminated against in football.

 

[GiovaniMarcon]

Another problem is the stereotypically White characteristic of being friendly, generous, and nice to other people, and being thankful for one's own good fortune.

Thus, in many instances, a very talented young White player will always be willing to settle for less than he deservers in order to feel like he is best serving the interests of the greater good.

Meanwhile, Black people are generally infantile and selfish and egotistic (usually with nothing to back it up), and stamp their feet and whine until they get what they want.

Whites, since they don't want to be called racist, will cave close to 100% of the time.

Thus, we have NFL teams that intelligent White coaches of normal IQs KNOW could and should be better if more Whites were put into different positions, but they say nothing because they don't want to rock the fantasy boat that "the best players play."

2014 America.

 

[wile]

Please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Seattle basically the only Caste Ideal team worth a damn on a consistent basis? The rest of the no whites need apply teams all seem like junk products ran by fools and sociopaths.

PS we need to come up with name for how black cornerbacks throw themselves on the ground in front of a ball carrier and call it tackling.

They used to call that a tackling dummy when I played high school football. Or maybe we could call it a Deon Sanders....:eyebrows:
Ps. Does anybody have a clue how these demographics were figured out? As far as I know all of the NFL cornerbacks are Black, but this site has 4 others? Are they mulatto? Also how does the NFL have no White nose tackles back in the early to mid 80s all of the nose tackles I remember were White...

The hypocrisy of the anti-racists (anti-racist is a code word for anti-white)

Whenever someone asks why most running backs are black, liberals immediately claim it's because blacks are naturally better at the position. Whenever someone asks why most quarterbacks are white, those same liberals will say it's because of racism. Whenever we see these types of comments on "mainstream" sports discussion boards, we should point out the hypocrisy. Casually suggest that it's at least possible that the quarterback position is dominated by whites because white men are just plain better at it. Helping regular white people get a racial awakening is always a good thing.

The neocons, or lamestream conservatives, or whatever you want to call them, are no better than the liberals. Their response to "why are most running backs black" is ALWAYS "I don't see race, we're all the human race, we all bleed red, ZOMG Dr. Rev. His Holiness Ben Carson for President ZOMG that would be TEH KEWLIES!!!!111one." I have never once seen them use the "there's only the human race" line in response to a query of why most quarterbacks are white. That question generally elicits a response of stammering and muttering followed by hackneyed platitudes about the (ZOMG) Rev. Dr. His Holiness Martin Luther King, Jr.

To any lurkers who are on the fence, cast(e) aside your Democratic or Republican shackles. Join us. Embrace your whiteness. Take pride in who you are and what your people have achieved.

 

[wile]

Well Pamela we have one thing going for us now, the anti-whites and their nonsense can now be dismissed fairly easily with the simple barb "that is political correctness" or some other short witty saying. PC is obviously to anyone who wants to notice an extremist bit of fantasy these days, kind of like making adults believe in the Easter Bunny, or else.

For years our side produced long essays that were dismissed with a single word, well its our turn now

Unfortunately it is not just liberal that are giant caste-whores, it is also conservatives. Bobby Bowen and George Steinbrener were two of the biggest caste-whores ever and both were conservative.

 

[Leonardfan]

I think the approach we should take to the caste system is applying the cultural marxist train of thought. Conservatives have no issue with applying cultural Marxism to many of the social changes taking place but never seem to apply it to sports which is after all the first realm of American society that was skewed and raped by cultural Marxism. As we all know white conservatives apply the "best players play" bull**** mentality to sports.

Kinda covered that in the second paragraph there.

I always thought nickle and dime backs were reserve corners and safeties? It seems like nickle backs are pretty much just reserve corner backs? I seem to recall Bill Bates playing the nickle for Dallas in his younger days and as far as I know he never played corner back for them.

It's a good idea to focus on short words and phrases and use them repeatedly. The anti-whites do this with the word racist.

Political correctness is a good one to use.

 

[FootballDad]

Pro Football Focus just did a list of the "top 100" players in the NFL, and by position, HALF of the best are white. How can this be? Here is the list compiled by Business Insider:

• Strong safety: Will Hill, Baltimore Ravens (ranked #73 out of top-100)

 

[Lugnut]

question:

Is Hispanic supposed to be mestizo? since hispanic is not a race and there are hispanic/latinos of different races in the NFL, Sendejo, Cruz, Sanches , etc

 

[white is right]

No, Alonso is classified by the bean counters as that, so is the Giants wide out Cruz.

 

[Don Wassall]

The broad definition of hispanic used by the system is anyone from Spanish speaking Central and South America. Actual Spaniards from Spain are rarely if ever called hispanics. Hispanics are no more a race than all citizens of the multi-culti U.S. can be referred to as a singular race. It's a lumping together based solely on language and not ethnicity or race, though there is a lot of confusion on the subject with many DWFs considering hispanics to be a race.
