Why the hell have we not seen a truly successful white RB in the league since Riggins? That was 1984. Do they choose to not play the position? They play all kinds of athletic positions like LB, DB, DT, OT, and WR, and they do just fine. Why not RB? What's their problem? Teams clearly aren't racist towards them and selecting black guys for the sake of their skin color. So why haven't we seen a good white feature RB in forever? It's not a ****ing myth. It's reality. Successful starting white RBs are as rare in this league as Asians. Deal with it. White people are well represented in all kinds of athletic events. So what if they can't play RB? |

Why are there so few black swimmers? They are just as capable of being great swimmers as white people!
Well, yes, black people can swim. Some of them are pretty fast in the water. Good enough to compete in the Olympics? Common enough at that stage of competition to make people not raise an eyebrow when they see a black swimmer? I'm not being racist here. These are facts. These are numbers. Participation numbers at the highest level of competition. That's the exact same boat white RBs are in. Fantastic athletes, I'm sure. So when 99.9% of them turn into FBs and shitty scatbacks who aren't as talented as the black midget scatbacks, I mean... That's just reality. I'm sorry, but it is. Crying about it and labeling it a "myth" just makes you look like a fool. |

I truly believe it's how they're pushed from a young age. More white athletes go to QB, OL, FB, S, LB, TE. More black athletes go to CB, RB, WR, DL, LB.
Overlap occurs, but you end up with some serious segregation of certain positions. I don't know if it's some deeply ingrained stigma or what, but it's odd. I can't recall the last white CB in the NFL. There have been some good white FBs like Hoge and Alstott that contributed toting the rock. On the other side, you kind of wonder why there aren't more black QBs, at the very least as backups. |

The Watts are a standout football family. One of them is perhaps the most outstanding pass rushing DL guy I've ever seen. He's got a brother who will become a pretty good passrusher. What about the middle brother? Worthless crap FB. Pretty good FB, but he's still a FB. |
