Exactly. Like because blind people have a better sense of smell that they should be used to solve crimes or track fugitives in manhunts

Why do we care what race a QB is? Seriously. I've seen this pop up in media discussions several times. It's not like there haven't been good "black" QBs in the past and many of those have been pointed out. Is there something special about it that I'm not seeing? Black athletes dominate sports in terms of numbers, yet it needs to be made into something special if they play QB in the NFL or play hockey in the NHL? A good QB is a good QB and race has absolutely ****ing nothing to do with it in my eyes.

Jimmy the Greek totally nailed it.
Gus Cannon is the leader of The Gus Cannon Jug Band who recorded back in the late 20's early 30's, he was born in the 1880's, his father was a slave. Cannon... My dad talked about the owner pairing that big strong buck with that big stout woman, looking to produce a better worker. Something like that, yes it did happen. Then you can't ignore how only the strong survived the trip over here, all the weak ones died along the way so.............. |

Old ass owners and GM's were too dumb to put the ball in the best athletes hands at the most important position in sports. Randell Cuttingham doing RPO's and quick options and read options would have been nice.

So,.....when 4/5 % of a nations population is 100% of anything like... NFL cornerback Olympic sprinters ,,,,we have to ask,,,,,how can that be? Right? There is a high school in Fresno named Edison, it's mostly black, so guess who rules the track around here? |

The obvious danger of having this discussion is that if one can attribute a particular athletic ability to an ethnic origin or a genetic trait more prevalent in a given race, then non athletic genetic prevalences are fair game as well... Bell Curve stuff. A slippery slope. And one best left alone. BTW, my 5’4” Filipino father had the best underhanded 3 point jump shot on the planet.

Ubeja Vontell Would you have a problem with someone saying it’s the rise of the white running back? Christian McCaffrey Is the best RB in the NFL right now.
