A milestone in racial progress was achieved last Sunday when the Colts visited the Denver Broncos, according to columnist Jason Whitlock.

In his column titled Colts offense has white stuff, Whitlock ignores what he says is "the unwritten rule in sports journalism that racial progress is mentioned only when it involves dark-skinned minorities."

"The Colts started and played nine white guys on offense pretty much all day. NFL rosters are nearly 70 percent comprised of African-Americans. What the Colts did was significant.

"For a day, the best offense in football was 82 percent white. Austin Collie put a clown suit on the Denver secondary with precise route running and nifty moves after the catch. Some practice-squad kid, Blair White, performed a Collie impersonation when Collie was tired.

"Peyton Manning is the Larry Bird of this era. I mean that as high, high praise. I’m not accusing Manning or the Colts of any kind of racism. Bill Polian, Jim Caldwell (and Tony Dungy) have surrounded Manning with players who mirror his approach to the game. Race is not the determining factor.

"A willingness to prepare and shared values, I believe, are the determining factors."
