    I don't think you'll find too many to agree with that view. For the most part, blacks are able to jump higher and run faster than whites.

    Haha... no, just trying to tie in a running theme...

    Besides, here's an argument to chew on:

    In sports like soccer, where there are just as many good white athletes as any other race, there is complete reliance on the TEAM (i.e., tons of passing, low scoring games - soccer, hockey, lacross). In sports where it is dominated by blacks, like football and basketball, the sport is based largely on an individual. Chicago would be nothing withou Jordan and the Bears without Payton.

    Do black QBs have this idea that they have to save the day and run more often than they should? Whereas white QBs distribute passes more often than running and they spread it out ti different players, involving more people more often.

    Am I reaching a little far on this one? Just curious as to your thoughts...

    Because the scientist who tries to perform any kind of study on that subject will be deemed a racist and have his career ruined?



    :hihi:

    There is definitely a double standard out there and most, if not everyone, knows it.

    Football and basketball are not based largely on the individual. Do you really believe that?

    As far as there being more white Qb's than black, I think it's a matter of most blacks that play the game are better suited at other positions because of their athleticism. There seems to be way more black qb's in high school than on any other level, but when they reach college, their athleticism makes it tempting to try them at other positions. White players grow up knowing that it's not likely that they'll ever be a running back or wide receiver (due to lack of speed), so they start training at an early age to be qb's. Just my take.

    I read somewhere once, that the average black male has narrower hips, and longer legs than white males. This is the reason for the better jumping ability.

    That's understandable.

    But why are all chess champions all white?
    They're nerds!

    Football is so team oriented that it's not even debatable. The line has to block for the qb to throw or the rb to have a chance to make a play. I could go on. Basketball is no more individual than soccer. Just as in soccer you must pass the ball, same goes for basketball. Some individuals tend to shine more than others, but that doesn't make it any less of a team sport.
