are we now counting those jewish players as white also???
How many Jewish athletes are mentioned at CF that this topic would warrant a thread?
Aside from Julian Edelman (on IR), Lions OL Geoff Schwartz (who was cut), and Nate Ebner (special teams), I can't think of one Jewish player on an active NFL roster.
In MLB, a few Jewish players are discussed (Joc Pederson, Ian Kinsler, and Ryan Braun) and it's never been an issue.
As Don mentioned, Jews have no easier time than whites in succeeding against the Caste System. Actually, it might be more difficult for Jewish athletes to "break through" given that most Jewish kids are raised in inner cities or large suburbs and are therefore weeded out (or discriminated against for having light skin) while competing with thousands of blacks desperate to leave the ghetto.
By the way, how "Jewish" is Julian Edelman? He was raised Christian, his mother is a white Catholic, and his father is white and allegedly part Jewish. However, after the Patriots defeated the Seahawks in Superbowl 49, Edelman described his father as
"a little trailer trash white dude who didn't have a dad." His father, by the way, is an auto mechanic in California. Not exactly a profession known for attracting Tribesman, right? Here is the website for his Julian's father's business:

A video of Edelman calling his father a "white dude"...

A photo of Julian with his parents blonde-haired, blue-eyed parents. It would be pretty difficult for the MSM to to sell this guy as "Jewish," because he's clearly white...
And if Julian is “Jewish” or even identifies as such, I don’t care and I’ll always support him. No matter what he is or how he feels, his great play on the field has clearly helped in the struggle to get more white athletes opportunities to compete in the NFL. Think of all the little white kids that watched him in Superbowl #49 and #51 as he dominated all-black defenses and hoisted the trophy. That’s what matters most.
