I've always believed that White athletes in various sports were being held back because of coaches'/owners'/administrators'/etc. ignorance or racist beliefs about Whites' abilities, but I've been wary about conspiracy theories revolving around the idea that Whites are deliberately being held back even after they prove themselves "exceptional" to these racist stereotypes.
After seeing Hillis prove himself last year (and Hester and Gerhart prove themselves in college), only to be treated in a flim-flam manner afterward...
Now I don't know.
White receivers seem to be repeatedly demonstrating that they not only have the speed to run down the field, but also possess a level of hand-eye coordination NOT enjoyed by their Black counterparts. And yet, the footballs continue to be fed to Black receivers who absolutely SUCK at catching footballs. In some situations, I think that even I myself could have made a catch that was missed by some butterfingered, overhyped and overpayed Buckwheat, and I don't even play football... But hey! Throw me ten million dollars a year, and you know what?
— I'll learn how to catch the damn ball, AND the money. I guess these Black athletes never have to learn, because if they get fired they'll cry racism or something.
They say that teams are bigger, stronger, and better than ever before...
... and yet, somehow I think an old-fashioned (heavily White) team like the undefeated Dolphins of 1972 could still hang with the best of today, if the game were officiated properly.
Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I think young Larry Csonka would smash through these big, stupid slow defenders today just like Hillis (in 2010, when he was permitted to play) did.
There IS a conspiracy, I think, to keep Whites "in their place" in the NFL.
Just like Tebow can't be the man everyone thought Vince Young would be.
The NFL has to have players of the proper color, to spin its story in just the right [Heeb] way.
