The past few years I see overall improvement

Either I am getting softer as I age or this will be one of those famous last word declarations but in general I have noticed over the past several years an improving sports media relying less on caste speak as in the past. This may not effect the cast iron caste work that affects countless young white athletes trying to gain a scholarship at a big time program but it is a key step in the right direction.The more serious the institution like Sports Illustrated or certain large city newspapers I sense a difference. The more topical gossipy organizations like ESPN or sports twitter types tend to rely much more on caste speak. As just one example of many the recent demeaning comments about the Patriots wide receivers by Mike Golic and others of his ilk clearly demonstrate that the caste approach is still a boiling furnace. But even ESPN has made a few strides. College football color man Kirk Herbstreit has improved his approach the past few years and Monday night NFL color man Jon Gruden regularly praises the athletic ability of white players.
For me the most fair and balanced sports commentary is the premiere (basically the only one left) sports magazine Sports Illustrated. A quick boring history but SI once featured a chief NBA writer Jack McCallum ( who wrote for the mag from 1981 to 2009) who was always diabolically caste. In 2002 they hired an outsider ( Esquire, US, Rolling Stone etc.) Terry McDonnell as chief editor. After what seemed to be a somewhat promising start the magazine started to noticeably slip. There was a slow but emerging drift away from tennis coverage for one thing. It is worth pointing out it took them years to put Roger Federer on the cover. A new editor came in around 2012 and the difference seemed marginal but over time I noticed a less caste based approach. Chris Stone who has worked for SI for years was named chief editor in June of 2016 and so far he has made a positive mark on the magazine. For the most part you can expect adult oriented sports commentary not weighed down by caste talk. Two ( say what) white receivers have graced the covers this year (Clemson's Hunter Renfrow's game winning TD in the title game and Julian Edelman's catch for the ages). In a surprise move they had a write up of the Australian Open because they skipped the issue that story would have been covered in but they rightfully saw the importance of both Serena and Roger winning. Heck a few times lately they skipped Wimbledon coverage because it fell in between a summer double issue. Man how can you not cover Wimbledon?
In the most recent Edelman cover issue there is even a long story about a 15 year old white basketball up and comer named Nico Mannion. He is in the 2020 class and yes I have been monitoring him for about a year now--hell I am looking all over creation for the next big white athlete--but it just goes to show how SI has become unbiased. Remember not too long ago they had a nice piece on star RB Christian Mac where he let off some steam about the very caste system we loathe.
The moral of the story is for every caste joker out there you can find some more proper analysis and insight on what is going on in sports and Sports Illustrated is not a bad place to start.

Baby steps, I'd say we've made some decent strides in public awareness. Still much to be done but appreciate the write up!

I think SI has a long way to go before it can be considered even remotely fair. I base that on how blacks are wildly disproportionately written about, and the way basketball is favored over hockey, tennis, golf, etc (black sports over white sports). SI is the print mirror image of BSPN as far as I'm concerned but somewhat more discreet and with more class. And I've subscribed to it off and on for decades and read it a lot as a kid, so you're talking about half a century of reading it as the basis of my opinion of it.

But I do think announcers, analysts, and to some extent sports media websites have improved in recent years. I attribute it to us calling them out repeatedly on Caste Football, and also the marked increase in comments after articles by people who know the score, at least to some degree. This site has made a difference even if most of the time posting is only a small fraction of what it should be. It's the old two steps back, three steps forward strategy, as the Caste System is still firmly in place institutionally and remains unchallenged except from the margins. But toning down the disparaging comments about White athletes and White athleticism and not drooling as much over (often non-existent) black "upside" is a nice step in the right direction of eventually making the Caste System vulnerable to widespread deconstruction.

I don't think there's any possibility of real change for the caste system in football and basketball, until athletes are stopped from being admitted into D-1, D-1AA Universities without having the required grades and or test scores as any other student. Even Ivy League Colleges standards for admittance for black players is lower than whites, a lot lower. The playing field should be level for both academics and athletics. How do you kill a snake? You cut off or smash the head. Right now the head is college athletics. I know it will probably never happen, but if colleges would set the bar for their academics and leave it there for all students, it not only would give white players more opportunity to showcase their athletic ability, it would actually benefit blacks, long term, as well.

There's been some "improvements" but they're minimal. Cultural Marxism powers the caste system, so there will be no 'victory' until the former is done in (...which honestly seems like a complete pipe dream). :(

There's no reason it can't happen. After all, the anti-whites made their agenda happen, so can we.

It took the anti-whites acting decades almost unopposed to make their agenda happen. It will take time to make our pro-white agenda manifest.

We have the advantages of right, white self interest and reality working for us, so it won't take us as long, but it will take time.

Don't forget that the cultural Marxists are beginning to cannibalize each other as well. The Baylor football scandal, the Mixon incident and all of the other vile, criminal, predatory sh!t committed by affletes are no longer able to be swept under the table. Briles has fallen and other coaches will follow as more and more things become public knowledge. Hopefully more and more whites tune out and turn off or wake up to the discriminatory actions of the caste system against fellow whites.

I like yours and Leonardfans optimism, but I've been through both the recruiting process with my son and now just trying to get my daughter in academically. Although my son had a high GPA, when we went on recruiting visits to UNC, Clemson, etc. the coaches spoke of them, the recruits, having just a 2.1 or 2.3 GPA to get in. My daughter was just accepted to UNC and needed the minimum of a 3.9 and high test scores to get accepted. She actually has a 4.77, however one her classmates who was ranked 3rd in his high school class didn't get accepted. They're saying this kid may not have been well-rounded. Well, how many of these athletes getting in on a 2.1 GPA are well-rounded? I think it'll be a long time before they suddenly stop letting this happen and moving the GPA's for both students and athletes all the way up to 3.9! I hope I'm wrong though. I would love to see it happen!

On a side note, I was watching the second half of the SB and was discussing this with my family and noted that the great Julio Jones for Atlanta, who I believe went to Alabama scored a 15 on his wonderlic test and that's actually high for some of these guys. Here are some memorable low scores and the higher institutions of learning they attended:
Donovan McNabb, Syracuse 14
Percy Harvin, WR Florida 12
A. J. Green, WR Georgia, 10
Derrell Revis, CB Pittsburgh 10
Terrell Prior QB Ohio State 7
Tavon Austin, WR West Virginia 7
VINCE YOUNG QB Texas 6
I think you are considered mentally retarded or excuse me for being insensitive, (mentally challenged) if you score 10 or below on this test, and these guys are allowed to attend D-1 universities! INSANE!
I'm old and been out of school for 30 years and I scored 28 on a sample test.

The last two niners starting RBs have scored 6 (Gore - Miami) and 9 (Hyde - OSU), it's pretty pathetic tbh. I did a sample test like you a couple years back and scored 46, I'm pretty clever (currently studying sport management and marketing at uni) but I'm no genius!
