I have to admit that the kicker thing through me off... Where are all the black kickers?

maybe the league should institute a rule requiring teams to try out black kickers, just to get their numbers up...
addressing the OP, i think it has to do with the physical requirements of the position. i don't think its racist at all to say black people are faster than white people. i think thats pretty much a given. players with more athletic talent are going to play positions that demand more speed and agility. speed is very important to a wr who is running down field, not so much to a guy who is being asked to stand back there and throw a majority of the time. so logic would tell us to put the speed at wr and rb on offense. just my opinion. don't take me for a racist, i'm not. i just call it like i see it.
