MD I am sure if you stay on this site, you will become more educated to the injustices that play out in NFL, the country's sports religion. In due time you will see things from out point of view. I am confident you will start to see the double standards that apply to the NFL specificlly and in life in general.
MD do feel sad for the NFL, get angry on whats going on.
I am educated already on what has been going on, I've been reading this site for months and have posted before. There is clearly a double standard going on.
However, I am optimistic that one day we will see this broken. You can already see the movement of whites away from football and towards other sports (see: lacrosse). Though American football is more popular than ever, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that with the lack of players to identify with, the NFL will become less and less watched. Just look at the NBA. It's rapidly losing fans and will continue unless they get some "American" whites in the big leagues, which are far and few between.
The problem with this is that we still have the quarterback position in the NFL, and that is still a majority white position. This means we still have the guy who is the most important on the field as mainly a white player, and thus people still identify with the league and can feel like they can follow it. This is going to be hard to break, and as a result the league may continue to get blacker before a change is made.
Another interesting thing from my perspective (and I have no scientific research to back this up) but it seems like alot of the black community has gained economic and social progress that has put them at or near the level of the traditional middle class white. This means that there are less and less of those "poor inner city kids" who dominate football because they have nothing else to do and nowhere else to go. Their "ticket" out of their situation has been sports.
I think it's common knowledge that most of the great white athletes (WR, DB, RB) come from more rural areas or poorer areas where the kids start out like what used to be mainly poor black kids, and they start out playing sports because what else do they have? This in turn makes them better athletes and I think if more whites started out in "harder" conditions we'd see more in the NFL and NBA. I mean, the traditional American job used to be the farmer, but now with that rapidly losing ground, less and less whites are having a bunch of kids to help tend the farm. These kids grew up working hard and being outdoors, and that in turn resulted in being a better athlete. Thus, I think that's why in the mid to late 20th century whites were able to compete easily with blacks in sports.
I firmly believe that with our declining birthrate (among whites), that this is going to kill our chances at having more and more athletes. It seems that minorities are still having large numbers of children, while whites simply do not anymore. Just look at Europe. They have a laughably shrinking population, and it's no surprise that they are moving away from sports to a more liberal pastime (which ultimately is not bad per se, but it means less and less whites are willing to become athletes).
Ironically, now that whites have become so successful and contraception has become so common, it's much more difficult for whites to produce large amounts of children, nor are many families willing to with the costs of raising kids being so high. It used to be that white people had large families (this was very evident in the Great Depression era which produced the baby boomers) and many kids, but nowadays it's very rare to have more than 3 kids. Our Christian roots used to be what kept us from "overpopulating", but now that we have become so much more liberal and sexual desires have become something encouraged, it seems like we should see an explosion of population growth, but we've seen the opposite.
Now, white America is still producing a large amount of children (and our population overall is growing), but it's nowhere near what it should be for us to continue to compete with other races. Fact is, the more whites that are born, the more that are likely to play sports, and the more that are likely to make it to the pros.
But I don't see the caste system evaporating anytime soon until minorities stop reproducing at their current rate that's higher than whites. Even with more whites overall in America, it isn't going to be for all that much longer. If enough white support for the sport wanes, then we'll see the NFL scramble to find a way to bring back the money (which is all it cares about anyways) and that will have to be to bring back the white athlete.
