No, I was saying that the older generation of players , and coaches the ones who grew up or coached in the 70`s and 80`s might have idolized their players by race, or subconsciously or consciously automatically placed certain players at positions by race..that would mean that more white kids started off playing pee wee ball at quarterback and more black kids at running back and wide receiver.
The kids growing up in the 90`s and new 00`s didn't see race so much. Also the coaches approach changed, allowing more kids opportunities and different positions, and not automatically placed by race, that was my point.
