In 1992, Vice President Dan Quayle could voice opposition to the eponymous character of Murphy Brown for having a child out of wedlock.“Would the NFL allow players to mock Tebow if he was a Muslim? Would the media mock him?” In 2011, the show Glee—with scant opposition—broadcast an episode with a gay sex scene. Few examples illustrate the left’s victory better than watching 10 minutes of a random Glee episode. Only twice during the cultural wars has the left really slipped up. Once was during 2004’s disastrous attack on Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ, when the fury coming from the punditry class mobilized a remnant of what Sam Francis dubbed Middle American Radicals (MARs) to rally behind the film and help make Mad Max a mega-millionaire. The other leftist slip-up has been Tim Tebow. <a href="http://takimag.com/article/the_crucifixion_of_tim_tebow/print#axzz1jMzhdJtj">http://takimag.com/article/the_crucifixion_of_tim_tebow/print#axzz1jMzhdJtj</a></p>

<p>by Col. Reb</p>
<p>Question: How many times since the merger has the NFL had 3 Whites in the top 10 in receiving yardage?<br />
Answer: Seven</p>
<p>Question: How many of these instances have happened since Whites were all but barred from starting as receivers when the Caste System was fully implemented in the mid-80s?<br />
Answer: None, until this year that is.</p>
<p>This season, Wes Welker (2), Rob Gronkowski (6), and Jordy Nelson (9) hold 3 of the top 10 spots in receiving yardage in the NFL! Welker had the most receptions in the league with 122, and led the league for most of the season. Wes could threaten to take the top spot in yardage in 2012. Wes Welker’s teammate Rob Gronkowski’s record setting performance (1,327 yards and 17 TDs ) in 2011 will not be his last great season. This second year player will be a huge part of the New England offense for years to come. Green Bay WR Jordy Nelson is the most effective WR in the NFL today, catching almost 71% of the passes thrown in his area. Imagine what he could do if allowed to play every offensive down like Greg Jennings does?! Everyone knows that wouldn’t be acceptable though, as it is still near taboo for a White man, no matter how talented, to start as an outside receiver in the Caste System NFL.</p>
<p>WR Eric Decker of the Broncos has a ton of athleticism and upside, and could contend for a top 10 spot in 2012 if the Denver coaches will be smart enough to utilize him more. If Peyton Manning returns, WR Austin Collie and TE Dallas Clark could springboard back up in terms of their stats. Several talented White collegiate pass catchers will be drafted in the next couple of years and there will be more chances to break through these barriers.</p>
<p>Many people question the existence of the Caste System in sports. They say that anti-white discrimination is not real and that it has no basis in reality. I would ask you this question then. If the “best players are on the field” all the time, why was there a sudden disappearance of White receivers in the 1980s and why do the few White receivers who are allowed to start in the NFL today do so well, while hardly ever getting credit for being called athletic and better than their black counterparts? Any thinking person will come to one conclusion, that anti-white discrimination is real.</p>
<p>So, how long has it been since Whites occupied 3 of the top 10 spots in terms of receiving yardage at the end of the regular season?</p>
<p>The answer is 1983, when Todd Christensen (4), Tim Smith (7), and Steve Watson (10) were in the top 10.</p>
<p>The time before that was in ’81 with Steve Watson (4), Steve Largent (5), and Dwight Clark (9).</p>
<p>In &#8217;78, the year of some rule changes that helped open up the passing game, there were Steve Largent (2), Pat Tilley (5), and Dave Casper (10).</p>
<p>You have to go all the way back to 1972 to find three or more Whites in the top 10 in receiving yardage again, and there were four, Fred Biletnikoff (6), Chip Myers (7), Bob Tucker (8), and Ted Kwalick (10). That is the next goal I want to see met when it comes to White receivers, whether at the WR or TE position!</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t find a half White top 10 until &#8217;71, when Fred Biletnikoff (3), Gary Garrison (4), Randy Vataha (6), Bob Tucker (9), and Ken Burrow (10) were there. In a fair NFL (no Caste System), seasons like this would be the norm. Imagine that, football where the best players actually play, no matter their skin color!</p>
<p>1970, the first year of the NFL/AFL merger, saw 4 Whites in the top 10 in receiving yardage, Gary Garrison (4), Danny Abramowicz (7), Jack Snow (9), and Carroll Dale (10).</p>
<p>There have been many excuses/reasons given by White fans and media personalities for the dearth of White receivers since the early 1980s. Through their successes despite major obstacles, we see that it is not for a lack of skill or talent that these White athletes are overlooked, rather their low numbers are caused by an endemic belief in the myth of black athletic superiority on the part of front offices, coaches, scouts, and of course the media that cover the sport of football. Let other people know that, if given a fair opportunity, White athletes can not only compete with the best in the world, but they can win!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.castefootball.us/archives/white-men-can-run-2/aa-jordy-nelson-11-20-11/" rel="attachment wp-att-3705"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3705" title="Jordy Nelson " src="http://www.castefootball.us/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/aa-Jordy-Nelson-11-20-11.bmp" alt="" /></a> by Paul Kersey</p>
<p>Ever seen the Mark Wahlberg film Invincible? I&#8217;ve always believed that this movie &#8211; the story of 30-year-old Vince Papale who became a receiver/special teams player for the Philadelphia Eagles after impressing coaches at an open tryout &#8211; and Miracle are Disney apologizing for the lies they promulgated in Remember the Titans.</p>
<p>Purchasing the book the film is based on led me to this passage that was left out of the script (Invincible, p. 84), where Papale talks about the open tryouts for the Eagles and the blistering 4.5 40 time he posted. One of the position coaches didn&#8217;t see him run the time, so he was on the verge of being left behind:<br />
I was being shut for reasons I didn&#8217;t know. Unlike the decathlon, I couldn&#8217;t let this opportunity pass. For once I stood up from myself. I yelled out, &#8220;What is the criteria?&#8221;<br />
The coach, who had begun to walk away, turned around and shot me a look. He couldn&#8217;t believe I was challenging him.<br />
&#8220;We&#8217;re taking the fastest forty times,&#8221; he said.<br />
&#8220;I ran a four five, that was the fastest forty time here,&#8221; I said.<br />
&#8220;Yeah, but I&#8217;ve never seen a white guy run that fast. My assistant must have timed you wrong,&#8221; he said to me.<br />
&#8220;Give me another chance,&#8221; I said, stepping forward.<br />
Papale tells how four coaches timed his run this time. All the clocks read 4.5 when he finished. The motivational story of Invincible would never have been told, had Papale not said &#8220;give me another chance,&#8221; and he would have been denied the opportunity for success because of the conditioned belief that white guys can&#8217;t run.</p>
<p>It is indisputable that Black people &#8211; well, Black people of West African descent &#8211; hold the top 200 times in the 100 meter dash. But this does not necessarily mean that ALL Black people are fast, and that they alone hold a monopoly on &#8216;speed&#8217;; conversely, there are white athletes, like Papale, whose athleticism was questioned as a &#8216;mistake&#8217; because of the widespread belief that a lack of melanin means some kind of &#8216;speed&#8217; deficiency.</p>
<p>It all starts at the high school, when talent scouts &#8211; representing Rivals and Scout.com &#8211; evaluate potential blue-chip recruits and hand out &#8216;star&#8217; ratings. Rarely does a white athlete at a &#8216;skilled position&#8217; (running back, wide receiver, safety, or corner back) receive more than a 3 out of 5. Tom Lemming, the founding father of recruiting guides, told Michael Lewis in The Blind Side that white high school athletes were discriminated against by college scouts and coaches because they couldn&#8217;t possibly be as a fast as Black athletes. He told the same thing to The Chicago Sun Times; he told the same thing to the South Bend Tribune.</p>
<p>White guys can never be fast. It&#8217;s a conditioned stereotype. When fans of college football teams see white players at skill positions, they instinctively believe their team is at a disadvantage and that the white player is a liability. Back in 2002, the Kentucky Wildcat started three white wide receivers (who all stood out, as few of the 12-member Southeastern Conference &#8211; SEC &#8211; schools start one white wide receiver) including the super talented Derek Abney.</p>
<p>The Black players dubbed them &#8220;The Snow Storm&#8221;:<br />
The Wildcats&#8217; all-white starting receiving corps of Aaron Boone, Derek Abney and Tommy Cook has combined for 77 catches, 1,235 yards, 13 touchdowns and one catchy nickname. Seems some of the black players on the team have jokingly referred to the trio as &#8220;The Snow Storm.&#8221; Lead storm trooper Abney, generously listed at 5-10 and 172 pounds, now has returned five kicks for touchdowns this year, after taking back two punts last week against Mississippi State. White Lightning is averaging 19.2 yards every time he touches the ball and is the only Division I-A player with at least 450 yards in receptions, punt returns and kickoff returns. His six career kick-return TDs ties the SEC record set by Vanderbilt&#8217;s Lee &#8220;Long Gone&#8221; Nalley in the 1940s. &#8220;At one particular point it amazed me how tough this kid is,&#8221; coach Guy Morriss said. &#8220;He&#8217;s taken some shots, and he&#8217;ll bounce back up like he&#8217;s made out of Flubber, almost. It&#8217;s almost like he&#8217;s sending back a message to the guy that hit him, &#8216;That didn&#8217;t hurt me.&#8217; &#8221;</p>
<p>Abney, like so many white receivers before and after him, never got a real shot at the National Football League (NFL), where receivers like Terrell Owens &#8211; who recently had an arrest warrant out for failure to pay child support &#8211; are lauded by fans, coaches, and analysts for their &#8220;speed&#8221; and antics on the field that draw attention to themselves.</p>
<p>Drawing attention to themselves is something that that the white receiver (only 15 percent of the receivers in the NFL are white) has a tendency to do, as primarily Black defensive backs laugh when they line up to guard a &#8220;white boy.&#8221; This article from Sports Illustrated back in 1991 illustrates the problem perfectly:</p>
<p>The Taunts start early for Phoenix Cardinal wide receiver Ricky Proehl on most fall Sundays. &#8220;Hey, slow white boy!&#8221; opposing cornerbacks scream at him. &#8220;You ain&#8217;t going anywhere today. You ain&#8217;t catching nothing!&#8221;<br />
Proehl thinks the Philadelphia Eagle defensive backs are the loudest, but they aren&#8217;t alone in singling him out—Proehl&#8217;s one of only five white wide receivers who were starters for most or all of last season. &#8220;Most cornerbacks take it personally when they get beat by a white guy,&#8221; Proehl says. &#8220;Even in practice, when I beat a corner deep, I get compliments. It&#8217;s like I&#8217;m not supposed to do it.&#8221;<br />
The preference for blacks is not restricted to the NFL. &#8220;When I was in high school trying to get a college scholarship, most of the college coaches would shy away when they found out I was white,&#8221; says Proehl. And according to New York Jet assistant coach Kippy Brown, when he was a Tennessee assistant in 1990, the other Volunteer coaches &#8220;looked at me like I was nuts&#8221; when they found out he was recruiting a white receiver. That player, Craig Faulkner, is a starter for Tennessee this fall.<br />
Nineteen years ago Brown became the first black quarterback in Memphis State history, and he equates the blacks-can&#8217;t-play-quarterback controversy of years past to the white receivers&#8217; situation of today. &#8220;The myth about black quarterbacks has been exploded, and it&#8217;s been proven you have to make decisions based on ability, not skin color,&#8221; Brown says. &#8220;But the mentality of a lot of people in this business is that the white kids can&#8217;t play certain positions.&#8221;<br />
The overwhelming need for speed at receiver and cornerback can be traced to NFL rule changes enacted in 1978. Offensive linemen were allowed to use their hands to thwart onrushing defenders, and defensive backs were restricted to bumping wideouts in an area within five yards of the line of scrimmage. All of a sudden, the quick, small black wideout became a huge factor, and an adjustment had to be made on the other side of the ball. At the end of last season the NFL had only six whites who were starting at defensive back—and none of them were cornerbacks.<br />
Rare is the high school white receiver who gets a scholarship or an offer. Fitting that 1991 was also the year that Ben Brown decided to write a book called Saint Bobby and the Barbarians that documented the Florida State football team under Bobby Bowden, one of the coaches who was influenced by the belief that there were few, if any, white athletes worthy of being recruited to play at FSU. On page 75 of that book, we learn about Mat Frier, the last white starting receiver for FSU; he&#8217;s from a proud family, and would eventually graduate with a degree in advertising and seamlessly move into the world of regional commerce.</p>
<p>But at FSU, he would have to outwork the other receivers (all Black) for a spot in the playing rotation:<br />
(John) Eason &#8211; the FSU receivers coach &#8211; noted sarcastically that Frier may have been the victim of a racist stereotype. Because he was white in a position dominated by black athletes, he was assumed to be slow and awkward. But Frier&#8217;s straight-ahead speed probably put him in the middle of the pack among receivers and running backs. And his desire and toughness were unrivaled.<br />
Rarer is the white starting wide receiver who earns a scholarship to an SEC or Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) school.</p>
<p>It is the flashy Black receiver ready to dance after every reception and perform some gratuitous touchdown celebration that fans and coaches have been conditioned to believe can only excel in the either college or the NFL.</p>
<p>Stanford University held a conference on racial stereotyping in sports back in 1995, and a white receiver from that school described his experiences from NFL draft evaluations:</p>
<p>(Justin) Armour, a public policy major, told of his experience in February at a National Football League training camp where he was the only white among 44 wide receivers who were being looked over for the draft. In informal conversations with the mostly white physicians, coaches and trainers, he said, he was frequently asked about his academic work and non-athletics-related plans for the future. The same people, when talking to black players, he said, were not only less talkative but brought up &#8220;nothing to do with scholarship.&#8221;<br />
During a pencil-and-paper problem-solving test, he said, some of the black athletes pretended to be sneaking a peek at his paper. This joking behavior, he said, was encouraged by league representatives in the room. On the field, he said, coaches made comments when seeing him about having a &#8220;smart guy&#8221; in the group. Only after the camp was over, Armour said, did it strike him how pervasive the stereotyping had been. &#8220;It is perpetuated over and over,&#8221; he said, by well-educated people. &#8220;What scares me about racism is that the majority of it is pretty subtle.&#8221;</p>
<p>This is not an example of racism, but merely of conditioning. College recruiters will not sign a white receiver (or running back) for fear of being called a &#8216;racist&#8217; by other coaches who will tell Black athletes that a rival school favors white players. For other reason but &#8220;racism&#8221; would a major university disadvantage their offense by signing a slow white athlete to catch passes?</p>
<p>Enter the very white Wes Welker, one of the leading receivers in the NFL. He stars for the New England Patriots, though no team dared draft the former high school Gatorade Player of the Year in Oklahoma. In fact, only one school &#8211; Texas Tech &#8211; gave him a scholarship, as he had planned to walk-on at Oklahoma State.</p>
<p>Only because former Texas Tech coach Mike Leech saw something he liked in the &#8220;frat boy&#8221; looking Welker&#8217;s film, did he offer him a scholarship. For four years, he would be the top receiver for the Red Raiders. Now, he is one of the top receivers in the NFL, though like so many other white high school stars, he almost never got the chance to even play college football.</p>
<p>The same goes for Indianapolis Colts receiver Blair White, who had to walk-on at Michigan State (&#8216;walking-on&#8217; means that the player didn&#8217;t receive an academic scholarship and must pay their own way into school, and that they start very low on the totem pole when it comes to the depth chart). The same goes for former walk-on Oregon white wide receiver Jeff Maehl, who despite putting up insane numbers at the 2011 NFL combine, wasn&#8217;t drafted. Here&#8217;s what was said of him before the BCS championship game in 2011:<br />
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. &#8212; The question seemed innocent enough, but Oregon receivers coach Scott Frost didn&#8217;t view it that way.<br />
When a reporter noted that wide receiver Jeff Maehl has deceptive speed, often turning short passes into long gains, Frost took exception to the perceived implication.<br />
&#8220;Unfortunately, he&#8217;s a white receiver so you give him that stereo type,&#8221; Frost said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know why you give him that stereotype, but he&#8217;s gonna run a better 40 time than three fourths of the receiving coming out in the draft.&#8221;<br />
Fair enough. Maehl is more than a possession receiver who runs precise routes. His leaping 45-yard touchdown catch in the USC game was highlight-reel material.<br />
Maehl is aware of the stereotype surrounding &#8220;white receivers&#8221; and if anything it has worked to his ad vantage.<br />
&#8220;I guess that&#8217;s just kind of my advantage if teams think I might be slow or something,&#8221; said Maehl, a 6-foot-1, 184-pound senior from Paradise, Calif. &#8220;I&#8217;m guessing it&#8217;s out there in the media and in the back of some guys&#8217; heads, that&#8217;s probably what they&#8217;re thinking.&#8221;<br />
Another white walk-on receiver, Mike Hass of Oregon State, would go to win the Biletnikoff Award, annually given to the top receiver in college football. Drafted by the New Orleans Saints, he never got a chance to play in the NFL. Bouncing around between a few teams, he languished on practice squads. But no college team offered him a free-ride; he had to walk-on and fight for everything at Oregon State.</p>
<p>Though one college football site joked about discrimination toward white receivers, the reality of white high school players getting passed over is real.</p>
<p>Tim Dwight, who was nicknamed &#8220;white lightning&#8221; was once one of the fastest players in the NFL. Sadly, he was used primarily as a special teams player instead of a receiver. The Green Bay Press Gazette wrote an article about the problems facing white receivers in the league, which inadvertently shed light onto one of the reasons there are so few lining up for NFL teams:</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re a minority,&#8221; (Brett) Schroeder said. &#8220;In many ways being a white receiver is kind of like being an African-American golfer. I don&#8217;t know why it&#8217;s like that, but that&#8217;s just the way it is.&#8221;<br />
Part of the reason is the NFL has fewer white players than ever. Just 25 years ago, 70 percent of the NFL was white. Now, it&#8217;s 30 percent.<br />
&#8220;The league has changed,&#8221; NFL analyst and former Cincinnati Bengals receiver Cris Collinsworth said on NFL.com. &#8220;It&#8217;s difficult to compare anything now in the NFL to what it was like 25 years ago.&#8221;<br />
In 1981, Collinsworth was one of four white receivers to play in the Pro Bowl. He joined San Francisco&#8217;s Dwight Clark, Denver&#8217;s Steve Watson and Seattle&#8217;s Steve Largent.<br />
In the past decade, Denver&#8217;s Ed McCaffrey is the only white receiver to be selected to the Pro Bowl. McCaffrey made it in 1998 and 1999, but in the last six seasons, no white receiver has been selected.<br />
Tennessee Titans receiver Drew Bennett had a Pro Bowl-type season in 2004 when he had 1,247 yards and 11 touchdowns, but he didn&#8217;t receive an invitation. After that season, he was referred to as &#8220;The Best White Receiver in the NFL.&#8221; It&#8217;s a tag Bennett doesn&#8217;t like.<br />
&#8220;I guess you always want to be the best at something,&#8221; Bennett said sarcastically. &#8220;I don&#8217;t control what people say.&#8221;<br />
In the last five seasons, there have been 105 1,000-yard seasons, but only two of them — Bennett and Indianapolis&#8217; Brandon Stokley in 2004 — have come from white receivers.<br />
&#8220;There are plenty of good, white receivers in the NFL,&#8221; Bennett said. &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to get obsessed over stats.&#8221;<br />
But the statistics can be very telling. Last season, only six white receivers — Bennett, Stokley, St. Louis&#8217; Kevin Curtis, Atlanta&#8217;s Brian Finneran, Carolina&#8217;s Ricky Proehl and Seattle&#8217;s Joe Jurevicius — finished among their teams&#8217; top three receivers. Curtis led all white receivers with 801 yards and Bennett was the only one to lead his team in receiving.<br />
Packers receivers coach Jimmy Robinson has been coaching receivers for 21 years, including 17 in the NFL. Robinson said there&#8217;s one simple reason why there are fewer white receivers in the NFL than ever before.<br />
&#8220;Obviously, it comes down to talent,&#8221; Robinson said. &#8220;Teams are committed to keeping the guys who are the best ones, regardless of color.&#8221;<br />
During the 2005 draft one of the players who was causing the most commotion was Matt Jones, a 6-foot-6, 230-pounder who played quarterback at Arkansas.<br />
The Jacksonville Jaguars were so enamored with Jones that they took him with the 21st pick.<br />
When the Jaguars drafted Jones, it was the first time in over a decade a white receiver was taken in the first round.<br />
Packers cornerback Ahmad Carroll remembers when he got burnt by a white receiver during his rookie season in 2004 when the Packers were hosting the Titans on &#8220;Monday Night Football.&#8221; The Packers were torched for three passing touchdowns in the 48-27 loss, but the one play Carroll remembers the most was the 11-yard touchdown pass from Steve McNair to Eddie Berlin.<br />
Berlin is white.<br />
&#8220;If I get burned by a white receiver, I&#8217;m going to hear about it more than if that&#8217;s not the case,&#8221; Carroll said. &#8220;Anybody who says otherwise is tripping.&#8221;<br />
Bennett said he has gotten the sense defenders may actually try harder to make sure they don&#8217;t get beaten by a white player.<br />
&#8220;I think they take me seriously. If you&#8217;re in this league, you can obviously play,&#8221; Bennett said. &#8220;Now, does it bother them a little more if I burn them for a touchdown? Well, you&#8217;d have to ask them that.&#8221;White guys can&#8217;t be fast, which means that if a Black defensive player gets beat by one of the &#8220;speed&#8221; deficient white men in the NFL, they&#8217;ll take a lot of criticism from other players and coaches. Which brings us to Jordy Nelson of the Green Bay Packers. A former walk-on at Kansas State, Nelson was a rarely used receiver until the 2010 season.</p>
<p>He helped lead the Packers to a Super Bowl title; this season, he has become one of the top receivers in the league (and, along with fellow white receiver Eric Decker of the Broncos, is near the top of league in touchdown receptions). And certainly one of the most talked about, after letting slip the reason for his success. Here&#8217;s the Washington Post on a &#8220;controversy&#8221; that would garner opinions and bloviating from ESPN, Rush Limbaugh, and, well, the entire sports world:<br />
“I was talking to ‘Wood’ in the fourth quarter and he said, ‘When you see Jordy out there, you think, “Oh well, he’s a white wide receiver. He won’t be very athletic.” But Jordy sort of breaks all those stereotypes,’” (Aaron) Rodgers recounted during his weekly radio show on WAUK-AM, an ESPN Radio affiliate. “I am not sure why he keeps sneaking up on guys.”<br />
Jennings, Nelson’s fellow wide receiver and friend, knows exactly why Nelson keeps sneaking up on opponents: He’s white.<br />
“They underestimate him. And honestly, he uses that to his advantage,” said Jennings, who like Woodson is black. “Seriously . a lot of it has to do with the fact that guys look at him and say, ‘OK, he’s the white guy, he can’t be that good.’ Well, he is that good, he’s proven to be that good and it’s because of the work and the time that he’s put in &#8212; not only on the field but in his preparation off the field.”<br />
Like Dwight, Nelson is nicknamed &#8220;white lightning&#8221;; unlike Dwight, Nelson was given the opportunity to succeed in the NFL (largely due to injury attrition) and made the most of it. Though his success has been questioned, just like Papale&#8217;s speed:</p>
<p>When asked by the Green Bay Press Gazette if racial bias is a factor in Nelson&#8217;s on-field success, he replied: &#8220;Honestly, I think it is.&#8221;<br />
Nelson and his teammates believe that, with so few elite white receivers in the league, opposing players are likely to dismiss Nelson&#8217;s abilities on the field.<br />
&#8220;As receivers, we&#8217;ve talked about it.&#8221; Nelson told the Press Gazette. &#8220;I know [cornerbacks coach] Joe Whitt tells me all the time, when all the rookies come in, he gives them the heads up, &#8216;Don&#8217;t let him fool ya.&#8217; That&#8217;s fine with me.&#8221;<br />
Nelson had to prove his worth to Kansas State coaches as a walk-on, because no college would give him a scholarship. Welker was basically in those shoes, especially as an undrafted receiver. How many talented white high school receivers never get the chance to even lace up their boots in the college ranks, because of the institutionalized bias that only Black people have &#8220;speed?&#8221;</p>
<p>Steve Sailer pointed out that Matt Jones (whose cocaine addiction ended what should have been a stellar NFL career), the first white receiver drafted in the first round in years, was asked to gain weight to play tight end:<br />
Of course, wide receiver is mostly a black position, so lots of NFL guys tried to talk Jones into playing tight end, a position where whites are more common. Chris Mortensen of ESPN wrote:<br />
&#8220;You know, it&#8217;s funny,&#8221; one AFC head coach told me last week. &#8220;We asked [Jones] about putting on some weight and playing tight end, and he made it clear that he thought it was foolish. He said, &#8216;So you want me to put on 20 pounds and be a 4.57 guy instead of a 4.37 guy?&#8217; When you put that into context, you have to admit he makes sense.<br />
So there is something to what Jordy Nelson intimated. White guys aren&#8217;t supposed to be &#8216;fast&#8217; or play wide receiver. Not at the collegiate level; not at the professional level.</p>
<p>To excel means that they are outliers, freakish white athletes that stand out from the sloth-like masses of white people. In reality, to excel at receiver you must be able to run precise routes (because quarterbacks have timed drop backs that require concise route running from the receiver to operate properly); good spatial recognition (to determine where to make cuts for optimal positioning against a zone defense to get open; and enough speed to get separation from the defensive back.</p>
<p>Plenty of white receivers can and do excel at this; sadly, coaches don&#8217;t believe white guys have the intangibles and necessary metrics (fast 40 time) to compete at the college level. This is a burden of entry for many talented white high school athletes who are then forced to walk-on if they want to play college football.</p>
<p>And because fans and coaches (and players) have been conditioned to believe only Black people possess &#8220;speed,&#8221; any white athlete who excels at receiver in the NFL will be instantly singled-out by the media and opposing defenses &#8211; led by entirely Black corners and safeties &#8211; for ridicule. Just ask Brian Hartline of the Miami Dolphins.</p>
<p>Or Mike Furrey, a white receiver who caught 98 passes a few years ago for the Lions in one season, and quickly found himself unemployed the next.</p>
<p>Ask Austin Collie of the Indianapolis Colts, who excelled at Brigham Young University as a receiver. BYU is known for having great quarterbacks who throw to primarily white Mormon receivers, and Collie is easily the best receiver the school has ever produced.</p>
<p>Perhaps his success is fueled partly because he had a good support system at BYU, instead of being constantly ridiculed by his teammates for being a &#8220;slow, white receiver.&#8221; Because BYU actually recruits student-athletes instead of any Black kid who can run a fast 40 time, white athletes aren&#8217;t unfairly criticized and made fun of; with most of the team being white guys, there a sense of camaraderie that talented white players don&#8217;t feel elsewhere.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the point of sports; to develop sound work ethics and pride in yourself, because you are part of a team. Recently retired NFL fullback Heath Evans once alluded to the fact that many NFL teams have racial animosity (imagine being one of the few white guys on a team of predominately Black players), and you can understand how white receivers might have difficulty adjusting to a culture dominated by Black morals and social customs.</p>
<p>The same can be said of the college level.</p>
<p>At the high school, it&#8217;s not a liability to have a white receiver; coaches can&#8217;t recruit (save at private schools) and can only play those athletes who live in their school district. White receivers excel and develop chemistry with their teammates, but rarely have the opportunity to advance to the next level, because college recruiters have prejudicial opinions of their innate abilities.</p>
<p>In spite of this, talented players like Wes Welker and Jordy Nelson found a way to excel. If that meant walking-on and having Black defensive backs (we won&#8217;t even discuss the kind of hate Jason Sehorn faced) be dismissive of their talents because they were white, so be it.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s this simple: sports provide the primary medium where Black people can provide positive contributions to American life. Though trivial, many people derive their entire identity from their alma mater or professional football team they follow (because there is no such thing as an &#8220;American Identity&#8221; anymore).</p>
<p>Because the concept of Black Supremacy in sports is so ingrained, predominately white sports fans believe that having a white athlete at a position dominated by Blacks (especially wide receiver) that their team is at a distinct disadvantage.</p>
<p>How can they compete against such fast Black players?</p>
<p>Just ask Vince Papale how you compete against coaches and talent scouts who believe white men can&#8217;t run fast.</p>
<p>Just ask Jordy Nelson and Wes Welker, who never had Rival or Scout salivating over their abilities, and were forced to fight for everything they earned as either a walk-on or as a player given the last scholarship.</p>
<p>How many talented white high school receivers could have developed were they given that opportunity?</p>
<p>White Men Can Run (with apologies to Amby Burfoot), its just a system has been erected that denies the lot of them an opportunity to prove it at the collegiate level. Those that break free then face an even greater burden of proof at the NFL level to showcase their talents, because white guys aren&#8217;t supposed to be fast.</p>
<p>White Men Can Run&#8230; it&#8217;s just universally accepted and constantly stipulated that they can&#8217;t. Just ask Jordy Nelson, who is having a tremendous season in spite of his debilitating whiteness.</p>

<p>by Paul Kersey</p>
<p>Ann Coulter recently found herself in hot water by asserting that the Republicans’ blacks are better than the Democrats’ blacks. NBA Commissioner David Stern is probably sighing to himself about how basketball’s 80s and mid-90s blacks were better than today’s blacks.</p>
<p>Stern canceled all NBA games through November, a move that means the entire 2011-2012 season is almost sure to be called off due to contractual disputes between the owners and players. Pity, too: The 2010-2011 season’s cable ratings were producing record numbers. (Few games are broadcast on network TV anymore; the demand isn’t there.) Last season’s NBA Finals, featuring the Dirk Nowitzki-led Dallas Mavericks v. the Miami Heat’s three-headed monster, reminded some longtime fans of the titanic battles between Larry Bird and Magic Johnson from the 1980s.</p>
<p>Stern will fondly recall those Boston teams—the whitest in a league that has been consistently 70% or more black since 1980—that had Bird, Danny Ainge, and Kevin McHale taking the NBA to unprecedented business heights with their classic struggles against Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s Los Angeles Lakers.</p>
<p>It could be argued that the NBA’s run of success was fueled not by Michael Jordan, but by a reigniting of interest in basketball among white fans that began to taper off when the length of the player’s shorts began to increase. (The 2003 retirement of Utah Jazz white point guard John Stockton signified the official end of that era.)</p>
<p>The 1992 book The Selling of the Green: The Financial Rise and Moral Decline of the Boston Celtics argues that the Celtics’ cultivation of a majority-white roster in a league dominated by black players was a disgusting and amoral move. Two decades later, it’s obvious that a league that has now dropped to fourth in per-game attendance among professional sports (NFL, MLB, then…Major League Soccer) is in serious trouble.</p>
<p>Even into the Jordan-led Chicago Bulls dynasty of the 90s that produced six NBA championships, Chicago implemented the Celtics’ strategy by sporting a roster much whiter than the overall league percentage.</p>
<p>Complaining about this is similar to arguing that America was founded by racist Indian-killers. So what? For 20 years running, the league’s black players have had the opportunity to earn unprecedentedly lavish contracts that have made them fabulously wealthy (for a few years, that is), yet one is hard-pressed to identify other forms of labor they could perform that would pad their bank accounts like shooting a ball through a hoop does.</p>
<p>In 2008, ESPN’s Michael Wilbon wrote a Washington Post column noting that the Celtics were no longer the majority-white team of the past; they were now a team that reflected the league’s racial makeup.</p>
<p>Perhaps it was when Allen Iverson entered the league in 1996 that the unofficial shift to the hip-hop, tattoo, gangsta-rap generation began, one that slowly drove away casual fans.</p>
<p>An 2004 ESPN article bragged about how hip-hop had transformed the game and the NBA’s culture but failed to consider the long-term problems of going all-in on this version of the game and how it would turn off fans.</p>
<p>Corporate America was already weary of the NBA’s shift into the hip-hop mentality as early as 2001 (save Nike, McDonald’s, Gatorade, and Sprite, which have gone 365Black in their corporate strategies) with concerns of how middle America would embrace the league’s new tattooed-and-braided thuggish hoopsters. Writing last year around the time of the All Star break, Friday Night Lights author Buzz Bissinger started a mini-controversy by asserting that white people no longer cared about the game. Judging by poor attendance numbers (NBA teams have long relied on the white middle class to purchase tickets), Bissinger isn’t far from the truth.</p>
<p>The bulk of NBA revenue is derived from an outlandish and completely unjustifiable television contract the league has with ESPN and TNT. Seventeen of the league’s 30 teams are losing serious money.</p>
<p>In 2009, as the league was hemorrhaging sponsors and posting poor attendance numbers, an emergency $200-million loan was distributed to 15 teams, with Stern admitting the league’s balance sheet wasn’t healthy. Though some dispute the owners’ claims of financial problems, one thing is certain: The NBA’s teams are overvalued, and the silence surrounding the lockout only confirms this.</p>
<p>Another deadline passed Wednesday, as the owners and players were unable to come to terms on revenue-sharing and the initiation of a salary ceiling. Sources cannot confirm that the removal of the Jerry West silhouette from the NBA logo is part of the deal, since he represents an NBA that is long extinct.</p>
<p>As Stern continues to lock horns with the NBA Players Association Union Director Billy Hunter over the revenue split, you know that he longs for the days of Bird v. Magic. But the league hedged its investment by going full hip-hop, a move that turned away fans who also longed for those days.</p>
<p>It turned away fans to the point that most people don’t care about the NBA at all. They’d rather watch soccer.</p>

<p><em>The Consequences of Majority-Black College Football</em></p>
<p>by Paul Kersey</p>
<p>Forty-one years ago, President Richard Nixon attended “The Game of the Century” between No.2 Texas and No.1 Arkansas. The Longhorns would win the game 15-14. From today&#8217;s standpoint, the most noteworthy aspect of this titanic matchup is that both teams featured all-White teams.</p>
<p>Flash forward to this past weekend––No. 1 Louisiana State University and No.2 Alabama met in the latest version of “The Game of the Century” in Tuscaloosa. This time around, the POTUS was not in attendance, and the game itself proved to be a less-than-thrilling 9-6 virtual stalemate. But much like that game in 1969, the overwhelmingly majority of the some 90,000 in attendance at Bryant-Denny Stadium were White.</p>
<p>But quite unlike Texas vs. Arkansas 41 years ago, which has been dubbed “Dixie’s Last Stand,” the vast majority of the players on the field were African-American. And most of Black players wearing the Crimson and White for &#8216;Bama, and Gold and Purple for LSU, have absolutely no business attending an institution of higher learning. But this seem to be of little concern to the White alumni boosters of both schools. Indeed, the Southeastern Conference (SEC) has made a science out of lowering standards for Black athletes, with many schools relying on “special admission status” for athletes with poor ACT/SAT and grade point averages.</p>
<p>The SEC had some legendary programs in the Bad Old Days of White football, but it has flourished in the Integration era. In the past 20 years, just under 50 percent of the NCAA Division I National Champions have been SEC schools. More recently, Florida, LSU, Alabama, and Auburn have accounted for five of the past five BCS titles.</p>
<p>The South has some of the most segregated cities and counties in America, and yet, White alumni and fans of the 12 SEC schools are widely recognized as the most loyal, passionate, and intense followers of majority-Black college football. It is no exaggeration to say that these Southerns base their identity on their favorite team and what transpires on Saturdays in the fall. Living vicariously through the exploits of 18-to-22 year-old Blacks, whom they cautiously avoid in every other situation in their lives, these White superfans take offence at the mildest criticism of “their” team. Football is the Opiate of America (or at least the Opiate of this America).</p>
<p>Outside of sports achievements, the Black community is hard pressed to come up with positive news stories for the media to cover. Indeed, the Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, Auburn, Alabama, and LSU football teams have defined by crime. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette found that the most frequent type of coverage Black people involve two subjects––crime and sports:</p>
<p>The Meyer content analysis found that during three months last year, the largest block of news stories involving black men and youth were about crime—86 percent of the news broadcasts and 37 percent of the newspaper stories.The Pew report found that the most frequent topics for news broadcasts involving African-American men were sports (43 percent) and crime (30 percent). In the newspapers, crime led all topics involving black men at 43 percent.</p>
<p>Once crime stories were excluded, the content analysis found there were few other stories about black males.</p>
<p>So why do college football coaches in the SEC recruit predominately Black classes? (Florida, for instance, had an all-Black recruiting class in 2010.)</p>
<p>For one, just as Black quarterbacks were once discriminated against because of their perceived lack of intelligence, White running backs, receivers, and safeties (and linebackers) at the high school level are perceived to lack the skills and athletic “measurables” (40-yard-dash time being the most prominent) necessary to compete at the collegiate level. One of the top evaluators of high school talent, Tom Lemming, has stated in numerous interviews that White high school athletes are routinely passed over by college recruiters, who believe White players lack the abilities on the field to keep up with more athletic Blacks. The NFL’s leading receiver, Wes Welker, had only one scholarship offer after posting insane statistics in high school, most likely due to the stereotyping of him as a flat-footed White guy.<br />
The Chicago Sun Times bravely reported on this phenomenon:</p>
<p>This is a subject that college football coaches don&#8217;t talk about in public. And the media doesn&#8217;t editorialize about it on radio, television or in print. It is too delicate. It has the trappings of racism. It&#8217;s a &#8220;no win&#8221; issue, a controversy that people talk about when they don&#8217;t think anyone else is listening.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s all about white players who aren&#8217;t recruited to play wide receiver, running back or cornerback in college. No matter how good they are in high school, no matter how productive, no matter how fast or how big they are, they are rarely if ever recruited by big-time college programs.</p>
<p>&#8220;College recruiters talk off the record to me,&#8221; said recruiting analyst Tom Lemming. &#8220;They talk off the record that if an athlete is white, no matter how great his production, they won&#8217;t recruit him.&#8221;<br />
Why? According to Lemming, college recruiters don&#8217;t think whites have enough burst, a quick-twitch burst that black athletes have at those skill positions, particularly at running back and cornerback.</p>
<p>&#8220;When I started to evaluate players in the late 1970s, there were whispers that blacks couldn&#8217;t play quarterback. No one talked about it publicly at the time, of course. It was an example of reverse prejudice. But now college coaches and pro scouts have changed their minds about that issue,&#8221; Lemming said.</p>
<p>&#8220;But now white kids want to play other positions where they will be recruited because they know then won&#8217;t get a fair shot at cornerback or running back.&#8221;</p>
<p>On his annual coast-to-coast trips to evaluate the top 1,500 prospects in the country, Lemming sees hundreds of white tailbacks who are very productive but few get a chance in college. For example, there isn&#8217;t a white tailback in the Big 10 this season.</p>
<p>It is this simple: Sports fans and coaches have been conditioned to believe that, like Sports Illustrated wrote in the early 1970s, “Black is best.” Relying solely on metrics such as the 40-yard dash, predominately White sports fans believe that only a team with “speed” (a euphemism for Black athletes) can compete nationally. Hence former Florida State coach Bobby Bowden &#8216;s laughter at questions regarding the lack of White players at his school. There is also a strange kind of racism involved when Southern fans to mindlessly chant “S-E-C, S-E-C” after victories over non-conference opponents.</p>
<p>(It&#8217;s worth remembering that some of best SEC teams of all-time were were all-White; andthey also featured athletes, who played both offence and defence. But that’s another story&#8230;)<br />
“Speed” is what those who get paid to discuss college football at ESPN, Yahoo! Sports, Sports Illustrated, and Rivals.com claim separates the SEC from the other conferences.</p>
<p>And those who operate in the whiter realms of college football believe it as well. Former Air Force head coach Fischer Deberry got in trouble for stating that his teams were, in essence, “too white” and lacking in “speed.” This is a strange statement coming from a man who led the most successful service academy in the nation and regularly featured teams with 70-80 percent White starter.</p>
<p>Collegiate sports––especially college football––offer a veritable buffet in researching HBD, and for noticing trends based on empirical evidence that few dare address. (The best site to understand the anti-White discrimination that white high school and college football players face is castefootball.us.)<br />
Even some mainstream sources have tip-toed around the race issue, including the Wall Street Journal, which noted that the SEC&#8217;s “speed” was predicated on lowered academic standards.</p>
<p>The historical knock on SEC schools among rivals is that their success is predicated on a willingness to stockpile great players by violating NCAA rules on recruiting and athlete benefits. While some of the sanctions have been minor, every SEC school but Vanderbilt has been on probation in the last 25 years.<br />
Another charge is that lower academic standards give SEC teams an advantage in recruiting. Just three SEC schools––Vanderbilt, Florida and Georgia––were cited among the top 80 universities in U.S. News &amp; World Report&#8217;s 2009 college rankings, while all 11 members of the Big Ten were in the top 80. Last year, in a statement on that conference&#8217;s Web site, Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany wrote: &#8220;I love speed and the SEC has great speed&#8230;but there are appropriate balances when mixing academics and athletics.&#8221; Mr. Delany declined to comment for this story.</p>
<p>Jim Delany’s tacit admission of HBD as the primary reason for the SEC’s dominance over the past five years is a major “no no” in the world of sports. The Big Ten, in fact, boasts an advisory panel to monitor the feelings of Black athletes at the 12-member Big Ten schools.</p>
<p>Back in 2007, resident Yahoo! Sports Commissar Dan Wetzel took Delany to task for his apparently “racist” statement:</p>
<p>In a statement more loaded than Florida&#8217;s recruiting class, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany this week claimed that when it comes to procuring football players his league is more ethical and academically minded than the Southeastern Conference.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what it sounded like he was saying: His league won&#8217;t compromise its supposed high academic standards to sign a bunch of fast, dumb guys, especially at a position that in the SEC is overwhelmingly played by blacks.</p>
<p>That, apparently, is one reason the SEC signed seven of the top 10 classes nationally according to Rivals.com; the Big Ten got none and Delany lost his mind.</p>
<p>Black athletes around the country are clustered into easy majors to maintain eligibility&#8230;South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier stated that he would resign if academic standards weren’t lowered to allow more Blacks into his school&#8230;Black players have access to million-dollar academic centers (a luxury not afforded to the general student body) and yet still consistently underperform––and yet the public dogma remains that there are no differences in average intelligence between the races.</p>
<p>But what’s so bizarre with equating “speed” with low academic performance?</p>
<p>Former Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh basically did this when he discussed the difference between his predominately White––and highly skilled––Stanford football team and that of his alma mater’s (Michigan), which has engaged in increasingly lax standards.</p>
<p>There actually is a way to test whether Delany&#8217;s statement holds water, to quantify whether or not there is a correlation to low academic standards and “speed.” The comes courtesy of the most prominent leftist in contemporary sports, Richard Lapchick.</p>
<p>Each year, The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports at Central Florida (of which Lapchick is Director) puts out the graduation rates for Bowl Bound football teams. His staff even goes to the great lengths to break it down for White and Black players.</p>
<p>Since going to a Bowl game in college football is a sign of success, I decided to break the information down for White and Black graduation rates at the SEC and Big Ten schools to test Delany’s theory. (In Lapchick’s mind, the data demonstrates that colleges aren’t doing enough to properly educate Black players).</p>
<p>A total of six years (between the 2005-2006 and the 2010-2011 seasons) are the sample size for this experiment, which neatly corresponds with the recent SEC dominance of the sport. White players at the SEC schools averaged a graduation rate of 79.3 over the years in question, with the Big Ten White counterparts averaging a 77.01. Vanderbilt, Auburn, and Ole Miss had the highest graduation rates for White players in the SEC; Northwestern, Illinois, and Michigan, in the Big Ten.</p>
<p>The SEC graduated 52.9 percent of its Black “student athletes”; the Big Ten, 58.58 percent.</p>
<p>Revealingly, the teams that won national titles over this time span in the SEC all had horrendous Black graduation rates. Most notable was Auburn 2010 National Championship squad: 100 percent of its White players graduated, but only 49 percent Black ones. Arkansas and University of Georgia––where more than 90 percent of the team was granted “special-admission status”–posted the worst rates, without attaining a national title.</p>
<p>Both Vanderbilt and Northwestern have the highest White and Black graduation rates of SEC and Big Ten schools, and both schools&#8217; academic reputations greatly outshine their athletic ones.<br />
One of the primary reasons that Delany guards the reputation of the Big Ten member schools is because each is a part of the Association of American Universities (AAU), an organization of 59 universities in the U.S. that are considered the leading research schools devoted to maintaining a strong system of academic research and education.</p>
<p>Only Florida and Vanderbilt are members of the AAU in the SEC.</p>
<p>So yes, Delany is absolutely correct—but also wrong: lower academic standards for Black players plague the SEC, but also weigh down the graduation rates of the Big Ten schools.</p>
<p>So this past weekend’s “Game of the Century” featured two teams that, if the game was played 40 years ago, would more resemble the starting lineups for Grambling and Alabama State then LSU and Alabama.<br />
But this is 2011. Though the White alumni of Alabama have fled the failed majority Black cities of Mobile, Birmingham, and Montgomery––and though the White alumni of LSU have fled the failed majority Black cities of Shreveport, New Orleans, and Baton Rouge––they have no problem cheering on teams that more accurately depict the general population of the state penitentiary then the state’s flagship schools.<br />
Delany is completely right in suggesting that the SEC’s lowered admission standards (compared to the Big Ten’s) allow more “speed” to fill the rosters of LSU, Florida, &#8216;Bama, and Auburn. But based on the graduation rates for the Black players at Big Ten schools, lower average intelligence for Black athletes peculiar to the South.</p>
<p>Sadly, both the Big Ten and SEC will sacrifice academic standards in the pursuit of victories. And hundreds of talented White high-school athletes never get a look from college scouts because they have been conditioned to believe only Black players possess the requisite “speed” to excel in major college football. It is even more depressing to quantify the number of students who are attacked and demoralized––a young women, raped––by the low-IQ Africans brought to their campuses by recruiters and football-crazed Alumni. Indeed, in encapsulating the lies, deceptions, and misdeeds of contemporary American society, LSU vs. Alabama can rightly be called the “Game of the 21st Century.”</p>

<p>by Don Wassall</p>
<p>One of the most absurd of the many lies that props up the Caste System in U.S. sports is the notion that White men can&#8217;t run with a football effectively.</p>
<p>The NFL began to integrate racially in the 1950s, and then did so in a major way in the 1960s. For the first quarter century after the league integrated, there were plenty of White running backs, including some who became Hall of Famers. Yet somehow in the second quarter century since integration, the league operates on the assumption that, year in and year out, decade after decade, there is not a single White man in the United States who can run with the ball, even as a back-up. It&#8217;s one of the most extreme examples of following an ideology of racial supremacy that can be cited since, well, since what we are incessantly told was the evil racially-based ideology of Germany in the 1930s.</p>
<p>Many middle-aged and older football fans watched the thoroughly integrated NFL (and AFL) in the &#8217;60s and &#8217;70s when Whites starred at every position on the field. Today, most of these same fans unthinkingly accept the NFL&#8217;s current, dramatically different racial make-up, which is always positively portrayed and reinforced by the media, of 90 percent black defenses with no White cornerbacks, and offenses in which Whites are a rarity at wide receiver and almost impossible to find at running back. Which only goes to show how easily a population can be programmed to think the way its &#8220;leaders&#8221; want it to.</p>
<p>A Caste Football supporter researched the breakdown of running backs in the NFL by race for the 1970, 1975 and 1981 seasons, and what he found was the methodical decline of White running backs during that time period.</p>
<p>In 1970, four of the top ten NFL rushers were White &#8212; Larry Csonka, Donny Anderson, Ken Willard, and Ed Podolak. In all, of 71 running backs to rush for at least 200 yards that season, 36.6% (26 different running backs) were White. Those 26 backs ran for 11,089 yards, or 33% of the total rushing yards in the league in 1970. White running backs averaged 3.7 yards per carry; black ones 3.9 ypc.</p>
<p>In 1975, 30% of running backs with at least 200 yards were White. Those backs ran for 11,119 yards, or 25.5% of the total rushing yards in the NFL that season. Two of the top ten running backs in &#8217;75 were White &#8212; Jim Otis and John Riggins.</p>
<p>By 1981, just 10 of the backs with at least 200 rushing yards were White, or 13.5%. Whites ran for 4,839 yards that season, or 10.4% of the total rushing yards in the league. Rob Carpenter, at 21st, was the highest ranked White running back with 822 yards; Riggins was 25th with 714 yards. The others with at least 200 yards were Dave Preston (640 yards), Matt Suhey (521), Derrick Jensen (456), Mike Guman (433), Mike Augustyniak (339), Rick Kane (332), Scott Dierking (328), and John Cappelletti (254). Cappelletti remains the last White running back to win the Heisman Trophy, winning it in 1973.</p>
<p>By the mid-1980s White running backs had been all but phased out altogether following the retirement of Riggins and the premature end of Craig James&#8217; career due to injuries. Since then, only Merrill Hoge was a semi-featured back for a few seasons with the Steelers in the late &#8217;80s and early &#8217;90s. That heresy ended when Bill Cowher replaced Chuck Noll and immediately turned Hoge into a blocking fullback who rarely touched the ball.</p>
<p>The only other White running backs to carry the ball as a starter for the past 25 years have done so as &#8220;emergency&#8221; backs when all the blacks on the depth chart ahead of them fell to injury. Travis Jervey, Heath Evans, Brad Hoover, Brock Forsey, Brian Leonard, and Peyton Hillis all were &#8220;emergency&#8221; backs, all did well when given their opportunity, and all were &#8220;rewarded&#8221; by immediately going back to being fullbacks or returning to the bottom of the depth chart at tailback.</p>
<p>Hillis got his chance with the Broncos in 2008 only when six black RBs went down with injuries. Hillis was a huge upgrade over all of them and was the team&#8217;s leading rusher that season. But the next year he mysteriously ended up in Josh McDaniels&#8217; &#8220;doghouse&#8221; and hardly touched the ball. In 2010, after being traded to Cleveland, Hillis again got an opportunity after Montario Hardesty, drafted in the second round that year, blew out a knee and Jerome Harrison was ineffective. Hillis put up over 1,600 total yards, including close to 1,200 rushing yards, the first White runner to go over 1,000 yards since James in 1985. The humble, team player&#8217;s &#8220;reward&#8221; again has to become a &#8220;controversial&#8221; figure, now in Fritz Schumur&#8217;s (and Mike Holmgren&#8217;s) &#8220;doghouse.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hillis was a great high school running back in Arkansas, but was lightly recruited and mostly played fullback during his collegiate career at Arkansas. In fact, in most years in about half of the 50 states the leading high school runners are White; but very few are recruited to play the position at major college programs (see: <a href="http://www.castefootball.us/forums/showthread.php?10770-White-Runningbacks-Lead-The-Way">http://www.castefootball.us/forums/showthread.php?10770-White-Runningbacks-Lead-The-Way</a>). The Caste System in America allows only blacks to run the ball after high school. The &#8220;recruiting services&#8221; help to institutionalize this by ranking almost no White high school stars highly at RB, WR, and most defensive positions. The few who do slip through the cracks and manage to star in college are then routinely ignored or screwed over by the NFL. The operations of the Caste System are a mystery only to those who refuse to look into the obvious.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.castefootball.us/archives/how-to-screw-a-white-running-back-101/aa-joe-martinek/" rel="attachment wp-att-3657"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3657" title="Joe Martinek" src="http://www.castefootball.us/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/aa-Joe-Martinek-270x300.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="300" /></a> by Freethinker</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a little update on former running back turned fullback, Jersey Joe Martinek. Joe came out of high school as the leading rusher in the very competitive state of New Jersey. After hard work and poor performance by his darker teammates, Joe got to run the ball towards the end of his freshman year at Rutgers to the tune of 404 yards and 5.3 yards a carry. This carried over to his only full season as a starter in which he produced 967 yards &amp; 9 TDs at 4.7 yards per attempt.</p>
<p>Joe seemed like a star in the making. Junior year everything went wrong. Joe struggled on the field and with injuries. The team struggled running the ball. Flash forward to this season. Head wigger in charge, Greg Schiano, who had famously shifted Brian Leonard to fullback after he was so successful at tailback, was back at it again. With some highly recruited supa-affletes coming to New Brunswick, it was time for Joe to play human battering ram.</p>
<p>Now, how have these &#8220;real&#8221; running backs performed thus far? Putrid would be an understatement. Jawan Jamison is getting the most carries and is averaging a measly 3.0 yards per carry with only 1 touchdown. 4 star freshman Savon Huggins is the &#8220;power&#8221; back and the main reason Joe was converted. He poaches touchdowns and averages a pathetic 2.7 yards per attempt. Rounding out the field of guys who get more carries are DeAntwan Williams averaging 3.0 YPC and Jeremy Deering with 3.9 YPC.</p>
<p>&#8220;Fullback&#8221; Joe, on the other hand, has 97 yards rushing on only 12 carries (less attempts than the aforementioned losers) for a whooping 8.1 YPC. He&#8217;s also 3rd on the team in receiving and has a 60 yard TD catch. Pretty good for a &#8220;fullback.&#8221;</p>
<p>With the massive struggles of his array of quotabacks (in this case the running variety), shouldn&#8217;t Greg Schiano give more carries to Jersey Joe? A logical and objective coach would. We know why he won&#8217;t.</p>

<p>Oh no. Not another football article. This one is important. Very important. Most people won&#8217;t admit it, but the National Football League (NFL) is largely a league consisting of comical &#8211; entirely interchangeable &#8211; Black athletes, engaging in stereotypical Black male behavior in turn for a salary they will inevitably piss away immediately after retiring from the gridiron. It&#8217;s basically a modern-day version of a minstrel show, albeit an athletic version.</p>
<p>Sure, it&#8217;s the most popular professional sport in America, for a few reasons: baseball is boring, and basketball is filled with tattooed thugs that corporate America (and casual fans) find uninviting to invest in. Another reason is that each team only plays 16 games in a regular season, easily making the NFL a simple league to follow and stay interested in with games played primarily on Sunday.</p>
<p>The most important reason though is that the predominately white fan base have white athletes to cheer for and identify with, a long with the memory of the many great teams and players that comprise the history of their beloved franchise. Just take a look at the top selling jerseys of 2010, with 15 of the top 25 jersey for men being white players and 8 of the 10 for women being white guys.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to note that the NFL is 67 percent and 31 percent Black, numbers that aren&#8217;t far off from the National Basketball Assocation&#8217;s (NBA) 80 percent Black, 19 percent white league. Just as Black players were once &#8216;stacked&#8217; at certain positions in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s (when the league was anywhere from 80 to 60 percent white), white players are now stacked at certain positions like center and quarterback.</p>
<p>Only 12 percent of running backs, 15 percent of wide receivers, two percent of corners, 15 percent of safeties, 26 percent of linebackers, 21 percent of defensive ends, and 11 percent of defensive tackles white guys.</p>
<p>Yet the face of the league has always been provided by the quarterback, a position that was 83 percent white in 2010. Peyton and Eli Manning, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees are all prototypical drop-back passers, garnering high wages for their play on the field and millions more in corporate endorsements off of it. The predominately white fan base of the NFL embraces these athletes, with the interchangeable Black players (the majority are thugs) serving as important cogs for fantasy teams and comedic relief.</p>
<p>Many people believe that Black players were discriminated against and kept from playing quarterback in the NFL for purely racist reasons. That they weren&#8217;t smart enough. Isn&#8217;t it an equally racist belief that Black athletes are better, making it irrelevant to recruit white high school receivers, running backs or defensive backs? Ask a guy like Peyton Hillis what type of welcome he got from integrating the running back position in 2010, running over, around and through majority Black hands and paying the price for it by being called &#8220;white boy&#8221; in the process.</p>
<p>When your average NFL team has anywhere from 10 &#8211; 20 white players, you know that the various franchises will have racial divisions. Enter the push for the Black quarterback, whose unique &#8220;talents&#8221; would revolutionize the game of football. Names like Donovan McNabb, Kordell Stewart, Cam Newton, Vince Young, JeMarcus Russell, and of course, Michael Vick, would make irrelevant the old-school, drop-back quarterback.</p>
<p>But this hasn&#8217;t happened, largely because Michael Vick spent a few years in jail for his sociopath avocation of bankrolling dog fighting. The media seems to have a fetish out of hyping the flavor of the month Black quarterback as the bridge to the next generation of quarterback, most notably Cam Newton.</p>
<p>Interestingly, it is the man Newton backed-up at the University of Florida (before he got kicked out left for academic dishonest, stealing a laptop a JUCO school and ultimately Auburn) that represents the next generation of NFL quarterback. The problem? He&#8217;s a white guy and a devout Christian who ministers to primarily Black inmates in prisons as an avocation. His name is Tim Tebow. We&#8217;ve written about him before, and we write about him now as he prepares for his first NFL start this Sunday.</p>
<p>Peyton Manning is the face of the NFL, but after undergoing three neck surgeries, it appears unlikely he will ever lace up his cleats again. Enter Tebow, a person of outstanding moral character who fans in Denver love &#8211; after he was drafted, his jersey instantly became one of the top selling in the nation &#8211; and corporate America loves as a spokesperson. White fans love Tebow, as he succeeded for four years in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), a league that is even Blacker (in terms of starters) than the NFL. He&#8217;s the Great White Hope, whose passion for the game is unparalleled in a league filled with interchangeable Black thugs who celebrate every minor lay they make, while Tebow celebrates every play his team makes.</p>
<p>Perhaps this is one reason Tebow is so polarizing, because he is so passionate and because he is white. Fans of opposing SEC teams made fun of Tebow for his infamous crying incident after losing to lowly Mississippi State, but did they do this because its okay to hate a white player (a lot like the intense Duke Hate in college basketball) and uncool to be antagonistic to a Black player?</p>
<p>The SEC consists of universities boasting schools whose student bodies are overwhelmingly white, while the football teams are largely, academically embarrassingly Black athletes. With Tebow, the Florida Gators had a white player who ran all over the purported best athletes in the country for four years, being the type of running and throwing quarterback that Michael Vick was supposed to be. But his talents were questioned and scrutinized, with many NFL analysts suggesting one of the most potent and prolific quarterbacks in college football history should play a different position if he hoped to go pro.</p>
<p>Tebow was selected in the first round of the 2010 NFL draft by the Denver Broncos, and was shown celebrating with his family at this announcement. It was this candid shot with his family that prompted one sports talk show host to say it looked like a Nazi rally:<br />
“Just when you thought you knew everything about Tim Tebow, a Boston sports radio station informed us that he is probably a Nazi. The host was joking, but then so was Don Imus when he insulted Rutgers’ women’s basketball team. CBS fired him. Will it do the same when the race-based insults are directed at Tebow? Why do I get the feeling Tebow will be Denver’s starting quarterback before Fred Toettcher is out of a job?</p>
<p>“‘Toucher,’ as he is known to his listeners on 98.5 The Sports Hub, had this observation on Tebow’s draft-night gathering. ‘It looked like some kind of Nazi rally … so lily-white is what I’m trying to say. Yeah, Stepford Wives.’ Come to think of it, I didn’t see much diversity at the Tebow house. Maybe all that missionary stuff is just a cover, and his family has really spent years setting up a skinhead movement in the Philippines.</p>
<p>In the first round of the NFL Draft, heavily hyped Black players are selected and television cameras capture this moment as they celebrate with their families. Never has a sports writer or talk show host said, &#8220;Gosh, that looks like a welfare office,&#8221; or, &#8220;so that&#8217;s what a welcome back from prison party looks like.&#8221; Or my favorite, &#8220;someone just got on EBT cards.&#8221; No, sports writers offer compliments to the Black athlete selected, as football offers the primary vocation- okay, only &#8211; where they have the opportunity to earn millions.</p>
<p>Again, Tim Tebow Hate is reminiscent of Duke Hate, a team of white basketball players competing for a top academic college in a sport dominated by Black &#8216;scholars&#8217; from Black Undertow cities. Just as Duke is unbearably white, Tim Tebow is unbearably white. Opposing fans are allowed to hate Tebow, but the NFL needs Tim Tebow, as even Grantland.com admits:<br />
The NFL needs Tim Tebow to succeed.</p>
<p>Not because it needs a chiseled, smiley face to sell to the red states, but rather because what the most profitable, successful league in the country lacks right now is star power. Favre is gone. So is Terrell Owens. Peyton Manning will probably not play a meaningful down in 2011. Three of the league&#8217;s 10 biggest names are marketed almost entirely on their hair. And although Brady still appears to be in his prime, the days of him occupying tabloid headlines are over. If you take a hard look at the upcoming stars, who could really play a leading role in the NFL&#8217;s ongoing drama? Philip Rivers? Matt Ryan? Joe Flacco?</p>
<p>The Tebow-era begins this Sunday for Denver and for the NFL. Unlike Michael Vick, Tebow will not renege on his contract and engage in sociopath behavior &#8211; that Black people have no problem with- though some people equate his outspoken Christian beliefs in such a manner.</p>
<p>Denver fans love Tim Tebow. Judging by the sales of his jersey, a lot of fans across the nation love Tebow. He has put up solid numbers in his appearances as an NFL quarterback, and he&#8217;ll finally get his chance to start this Sunday.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t judge an athlete until they actually perform &#8211; or fail to perform &#8211; on the field of play. A lot of people don&#8217;t like Tebow because of the whole Duke Hate phenomenon. Come Sunday, the NFL will garner a new face, one who Black writer Jason Whitlock wrote represented the re-emergence of the Great White Athlete.</p>
<p>The prototypical drop back passing quarterback is a white guy, like Dan Marino, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Montana, Brett Farve or Troy Aikman. The media has long been hopeful that a Black messiah would come along and revolutionize the position. But Tim Tebow will now be given the opportunity to represent the next step in the evolution of the quarterback.</p>
<p>Funny, didn&#8217;t Steve Young already do this?</p>
<p>So when you hear people talk about Tim Tebow in negative terms, automatically qualify it as a hybrid of Duke Hate. You&#8217;re allowed to hate Duke, because the school is an elite institution that actually recruits white athletes and plays a white style of the game. Openly hating things that are white is a hallmark, a cornerstone of Black-Run America (BRA).</p>
<p>You&#8217;re allowed to hate Tim Tebow, because he&#8217;s just a dude that has embraced an unbearable form of whiteness. But like Peyton Hillis, he&#8217;ll have the chance to run over primarily Black defenses.</p>
<p>And like it or not, he&#8217;s about to become the face of the NFL.</p>
<p>Remember, the NBA is a dying league that no one cares about (ESPN keeps the league alive). It&#8217;s only 10 percent Blacker than pro football. The NFL needs a white face to hide a primarily Black product that really isn&#8217;t that great. It&#8217;s primarily a league of Black guys who dance and prance around after every pass break up, catch, tackle, or touchdown and then tweet about it. <a href="http://stuffblackpeopledontlike.blogspot.com/2011/10/tim-tebow-hate-duke-hate-tebow-era.html">http://stuffblackpeopledontlike.blogspot.com/2011/10/tim-tebow-hate-duke-hate-tebow-era.html</a></p>

<p>by James Edwards</p>
<p>The University of Mississippi, “Ole Miss,” is 1-3 so far this season after losing to BYU, a really bad Georgia squad, and, to put the cherry on top, perennial league doormat Vanderbilt, by a score of 30-7 no less!</p>
<p>How did this sad state of affairs come to pass? It’s hard for people without a long historical memory to fathom, but Ole Miss was once the toast of Southern football in the 1950?s and 60?s, churning out All Americans and future NFL stars almost as predictably as they turned out Miss Americas.</p>
<p>When the Southeastern Conference racially integrated its sports teams in 1972, Ole Miss had racked up more bowl appearances than any other team in America. Upon integration of the league, Johnny Vaught, an Ole Miss legend and dean of SEC football coaches, promptly retired, just like Kentucky’s legendary basketball coach Adolph Rupp. Both foresaw the negative impact that racial integration would have on the games they loved.</p>
<p>With the new improved black lineup Ole Miss promptly went on a 12 year bowl drought, wandering in the wilderness like the Israelites of old until they finally hired a player from the Vaught era who knew what it took to win. Billy Brewer, a former Ole Miss quarterback, took Ole Miss to its first bowl in over a decade and won SEC coach of the year honors in 1983, posting a winning record in the SEC with “Ohio Valley Conference caliber talent,” as one sportswriter put it.</p>
<p>Brewer soldiered on, posting winning records most years during his Ole Miss coaching tenure until he was fired in a palace coup engineered by then Ole Miss Chancellor Gerald Turner, an Ole Miss outsider and typical educational profession liberal determined to purge the Ole Miss hierarchy of anyone who remembered and revered the good old days at the school.</p>
<p>Brewer was fired and Turner left shortly thereafter under a cloud since it was an open secret on campus that he was the mole that caused the NCAA to put the Ole Miss football program on probation for his efforts to oust Brewer, thereby losing the services of one Peyton Manning (the son of Ole Miss legend Archie Manning), who has developed into arguably the NFL’s best quarterback.</p>
<p>Campus leftists (i.e. the faculty) and CRM devotees everywhere blamed all of these troubles on the school’s image as a bastion of the unreconstructed South, and promised that the football program would rise again to prominence if only Ole Miss distanced itself from its racist past. Brewer’s successor, Tommy Tuberville, who pledged his undying loyalty to Ole Miss but snuck out of town the next day under cover of darkness to accept the head coaching job at Auburn, railed against the school’s Confederate symbols and blamed them as a hindrance to recruiting those coveted black athletes that are presumed by experts everywhere to be absolutely indispensable for athletic success in any sport at any level.</p>
<p>Subsequent administrations at Ole Miss have waged relentless war to eliminate all symbols which associate the school with its historical Southern and Confederate roots and traditions. The Confederate flag was banned from the stadium and the playing of “Dixie” was prohibited at all Ole Miss sporting events. “Colonel Reb” , the school’s mascot redolent of old southern plantation culture, was replaced by a black bear, more in keeping with Ole Miss’s new recruiting priorities. Pessimists predict that the team’s nickname “Rebels” and even the name “Ole Miss” are destined for a future trip down the Orwellian memory hole, since both are associations with the Civil War and the plantation culture of the Old South.</p>
<p>Despite all of these changes, this year’s Rebel team shows that the promised improvement in Ole Miss football hasn’t materialized. Someone needs to tell the administration at Ole Miss that the little experiment about racially integrating the football team hasn’t worked out.</p>
<p>One obvious reason is the appropriately named Houston Nutt, who is currently head coach of Ole Miss. Nutt was formerly the head football coach at Arkansas, with teams that featured at least a modicum of white players. At Mississippi, with its surfeit of black high school “ath-a-letes”(Mississippi has the highest % of blacks of any state) Nutt apparently thought he’d died and gone to heaven, trumpeting his successive “better than ever” all black recruiting classes.</p>
<p>Living up to his name, Nutt even hired a black defensive coordinator (Tyrone Nix) who predictably fielded an all-black defensive team, which again predictably either never learned, or forgot how to tackle. Arms are supposed to be involved in the process, guys! The black scholars playing defense for the Rebels prefer “blowing-up” the opposition – trying to block them down with hard hits to better impress NFL scouts and each other, but typically failing to wrap up the opposition’s ball carrier, who, often being a big lad himself, usually just bounces off of the defender, and after a slight delay, heads up field unimpeded while the defender is left crawling around on all fours trying to collect his wits.</p>
<p>In all fairness, the defense’s big play celebrations are carefully choreographed and obviously well-coached, although they are sometimes inappropriately showcased. For instance, a Georgia receiver had dropped a pass, causing the nearest Ole Miss defensive back, at least 3 yards away, to dramatically unbutton both chin straps to his helmet and break into an impromptu bougaloo, beating his chest and proclaiming himself the master of all he surveyed. Georgia scored on the next play.</p>
<p>How one yearns for the day when Archie Manning dazzled the crowd with impromptu scrambling and running to score an improbable touchdown, then calmly trotted up to the nearest official, politely handed him the ball and trotted back to the sideline as if nothing special had happened.</p>
<p>This is what comes from the slavish devotion to political correctness that now characterizes Ole Miss. Robert Khayat, the former Chancellor of Ole Miss responsible for the displacement of most of the school’s Confederate symbols, was once a law professor, and before that, a football player on some of Vaught’s best teams.</p>
<p>He was even briefly an NFL player, before he was lured to Harvard or Yale for graduate school and promptly brainwashed. In a recent alumni publication he shares an “aw shucks” reminiscence about playing in the old college all-star game against the defending NFL champs in the early 60s, in which he was matched as an offensive lineman against Gene “Big Daddy” Lipscomb, a black defensive lineman considered a behemoth in his day, but would be regarded as slightly undersized in today’s NFL.</p>
<p>Khayat, with appropriate humility recalls addressing Big Daddy as “sir” to which Lipscomb replied, “Boy, does your Momma know you’re out here playing against me?” Khayat goes on to regale us with a tale of his ritual humiliation and defeat at the hands of “Big Daddy” which all qualifies as “gentle humor” in today’s America when the victim is a white, and his racial overlord is black. Another heart-warming tale of black athletic superiority.</p>
<p>Khayat conveniently neglects to tell his audience that Lipscomb was a drug addict, an inveterate womanizer and bully with no life skills or earning capacity outside of the biological accident that allowed him to play professional football. Lipscomb died broke and committed suicide, but this info is unimportant since it would spoil the little self-abasing morality tale of black superiority and white inferiority that Khayat was trying to spin.</p>
<p>Khayat needs to peddle his fish to the almost all white BYU team that beat the almost all black Ole Miss team in the first game of this season, but I doubt that they’d be impressed. Under Khayat’s leadership and that of other like minded leaders, Ole Miss is slipping into oblivion not only athletically but academically as well. For the first time ever, the incoming freshman class at Mississippi State has a higher average ACT score than Ole Miss’s freshman class. Great job, Chancellor!</p>
<p>The Cultural Marxist’s “Long March Through The Institutions” now added Ole Miss and it’s athletic program to the list. <a href="http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/2011/09/28/ole-miss-is-now-new-mess/">http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/2011/09/28/ole-miss-is-now-new-mess/</a></p>

<p>On profootball reference they have all the starters by team and year, so I thought I&#8217;d take us down memory lane, and researched the 1981 NFL season.<br />

N.E. Patriots: 9 starters, QB, TE, 3 on O-line, 4 on defense.<br />
Buffalo Bills: 12 starters, QB, TE, 5 on O-line, 5 on defense.<br />
Balt. Colts: 11 starters, QB, WR, 4 on O-line, 5 on defense.</p>
<p>According to my calculations, there were 276 out of a possible 616 white starters, 44.8%. The NFC had 133 white starters, AFC 143, the NFC shortfall is basically due to Tampa Bay. NFC white starters were 48% of offense, and 37.6% of defense, AFC 53.2% on offense, 39.6 on defense.</p>
<p>A typical NFL team in 1981 would have about 5.6 white starters on offense, and 4.2 on defense. Today its 4.5 on offense and 1.5 on defense.</p>
<p>Only two black QB&#8217;s, Williams and Evans, were starters, unless I missed someone. I counted 11 white WR&#8217;s, and 2 white CBs.</p>
<p>I counted 5 white FBs, but John Riggins isn&#8217;t included as either a tailback or fullback in this count as he was splitting carries and playing time apparently in 1981. But, the white fullbacks in this era were much more than just &#8220;lead blockers,&#8221; with more receptions and carries than in today&#8217;s NFL.</p>
<p>Basically this count confirmed in my mind that the central path to the blackening of the NFL has been through defense. All of us on Caste Football follow the trials and tribulations of a Peyton Hillis, or the ridiculous situation of a Tavaris Jackson starting, or watch in outrage as a Mike Hass gets his career destroyed. However, it seems to me that the real battles for whether this league ever becomes whiter again lie on defense, whether guys like A.J. Edds, or Dane Fletcher, or Austin Spitler, or Colin McCarthy, or Frank Zombo, or Karl Klug are allowed to start and do well in the league, or whether they get shafted and forgotten like a Chase Blackburn and countless others.</p>

<p>by Colonel Reb</p>
<p>We’re one month into the 2011 college football season and we have already seen some pretty interesting things happen, especially from the caste perspective. In the first week of the season, Boise State and BYU both dealt nice blows to the artificial black dominance of the ultra-caste SEC, beating the Georgia Blackdogs and the New Miss Conformists, respectively.</p>
<p>Those two games should have helped open the eyes of more than a few pro-black/anti-white SEC fans and coaches. Of course, we at Caste Football realize that the Caste System is deeply ingrained and that the fight against anti-White discrimination in sports will continue for a long time. Still, it was nice to see two White dominated teams come into the deep, dark SEC and beat nearly coal-black teams on their home turf. White BYU Safety Daniel Sorensen made good on his comments and played a great game not only against the Conformists, but thus far in the 2011 season, amassing 25 tackles, 2 of them for a loss, 1 interception, 1 pass breakup, and 1 fumble recovery.</p>
<p>One key to Boise State’s success has been their incredible trio of White receivers, who together have over 620 yards of receiving and 9 TDs in just 4 games. Besides Boise, a couple other top 5 teams are majority White &#8212; Wisconsin and Stanford. Stanford QB Andrew Luck has an awe inspiring 178 passer rating, with 11 TDs and 1 interception. Five of those TDs were thrown to White TE Coby Fleener.</p>
<p>Wisconsin has a quotaback for the first time and he is getting a TON of assistance from his massive and athletic all-White offensive line. The UW line is actually taller and heavier than that of the Green Bay Packers . The Badger’s second leading receiver is 6-2 White WR Jared Abbrederis and their defense is one starter short of being majority White.</p>
<p>You’d think more coaches and recruiters would take note of what is producing success for these teams and that they would try to imitate them and Whiten up their teams in order to be competitive. Evidently, coaches have bought into so much of the BS surrounding the “Big Lie” that it will take continued beatings at the hands of majority White teams before some of them wake up. It will be interesting to see what happens in the world of Caste System College Football over the next few weeks. Stay tuned!</p>

<p>(AWF 9-30-11) AWF is angrier than Michael Moore at a Georgia football game after the vendors have run out of hotdogs, and what&#8217;s got the big F upset this time? The race card!</p>
<p>Played once again by that scramblin&#8217; wreck from Virginia Tech: Michael &#8220;The Canine Assasin&#8221; Vick. Yep he&#8217;s at it again. Vick had a loud press conference claiming that there is a conspiracy amongst the referee&#8217;s of the NFL to let him get hit and knocked around. Yeah thats&#8217;s right Michael &#8212; I frequently scramble out of the pocket &#8212; Vick, Michael &#8212; I never slide and instead take tackles like a running back &#8212; Vick is claiming that he doesn&#8217;t get the same protection that other QB&#8217;s get.</p>
<p>The oft injured, 87 passer rating, 1 and 2, quarterback is barking up the wrong tree on this one. His whining and bitching is out of place here, he&#8217;s got it ruff but it&#8217;s not always about race. Perhaps the refs are animal rights activists. Reminder to Mr. Vick: in some competitive activities the injured losers are electrocuted or even killed.</p>
<p>On to better news. . .in their game against Buffalo the New England Patriots completed 30 passes, 27 of which were to White receivers (90%), and all 4 receiving touchdowns were caught by the good guys.</p>
<p>And Wes Welker had another great game. Welker leads all NFL receivers in targets (43), receptions (31), and yards (458) through three weeks. Those three-game totals, in fact, are the highest by any receiver in NFL history, topping Jerry Rice&#8217;s 1989 start!</p>
<p>The Patriots lost to the Bills though and AWF has been racking his brain trying to understand why the offense is so good and the defense so bad. I have put together a drawing of the Patriot offense vs. defense that should clear up that mystery.<br />
Peyton Hillis was a scratch from this weeks game due to a case of strep throat. A letter from his mother will be necessary for him to play this week.</p>
<p>Ryan Fitzpatrick had the best game of any Irish QB in the NFL, better than Brady, Ryan, McCoy, or *McNabb (*Note not all the QB&#8217;s listed as &#8220;Irish&#8221; are in fact Irish, some of them may have had an ancestor that adapted the name after working for an Irishman in an agricultural position).</p>
<p>The Buffalo Bills are now 3-0 for the first time since Bill Clinton was just a stain on Monica Lewinsky&#8217;s dress.<br />
Undrafted Dane Sanzenbacher scored another TD for the Bears. That gives him more TDs this year than those other guys on the receiving corps of the Bears, you know the ones with the &#8220;speed&#8221; the &#8220;moves&#8221; the &#8220;athleticism&#8221; the &#8220;inability to catch the football.&#8221;</p>
<p>It was a good week in the college game for guys with the White stuff. Zack Line added three touchdowns to up his season total to 11. He played with a separated shoulder and still gained 136 yards. His shoulder pad was specially fitted wth Kevlar this week to add extra protection. The same company who made Tony Romo&#8217;s vest worked with SMU. Kevlar vests for football players; who says nothing good comes out of endless wars?</p>
<p>Eight White receivers went over 100 yards last Saturday: Nick Williams, Danny Coale, Josh Cooper, Ryan Swope, Jared Abbrederis, Tyler Shoemaker, TJ Moe and David Douglas.</p>
<p>And lets not forget our prep school bro, Camarillo (Calif.) High receiver Jake Maulhardt who racked up 28 receptions in one game! The 28 receptions were good for the third or fourth-highest single-game total in national history at the high school level.</p>
<p>The senior stands at a lanky 6-foot-7 and is described as having &#8220;deceptive&#8221; speed (which means he&#8217;s fast but not black). If racist recruiting prejudices continue, Maulhardt&#8217;s skill at burning defensive backs that will be playing in the PAC 10 someday, should reward him with no Div I offers and the chance to walk on at a mid-level major.</p>
<p>In a shocking incident at a pre season hockey game an unknown fan tossed a banana onto the ice just before a black player was to take a penalty shot, a racist insult insinuating that black people are similar to monkey&#8217;s. Fortunately immediately after that another fan threw a peanut onto the ice serving as a symbol of the great black inventor George Washington Carver and his many contributions to the science of peanutry. So it all cancelled out.</p>

But black quarterbacks are never said to be &quot;deceptively&quot; intelligent.</p></div>
<p>(AWF blog, 9/23/11) AWF is upset, and the target of my wrath in this case is an unusual one &#8212; the Green Bay Packers. Now don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m as cheese head supportive as the next AWF, but doggoneit this team was on the right track&#8230;the White track, one may say, and that&#8217;s good. AWF is not lobbying for the NFL to become as White friendly as the NHL (not that it&#8217;s a bad idea!!!)</p>
<p>But the talent level and the performance level and the behavior level of an all-black-all-the-time NFL is bad, and getting worse. The urban slums of America cannot fully staff 120 Division I schools and hundreds more lower level schools AND the NFL. The talent is not there. There are too many black players in too many slots with too little talent and for some reason even less desire. It&#8217;s obvious in dropped passes, porous all-black defenses, and overloaded injury lists. Green Bay and New England and Indianapolis and Houston, the teams with the most White players, and all of them successful except for an aberrant year for the Colts this season, are proving that.</p>
<p>However for some crazy reason the Pack is going black. Last year the Packers were the Whitest and best team in the NFL. And that&#8217;s great because White people are great and we love to see our young men excelling on the gridiron. Black people like their guys out there, and we should like our guys out there too. And players should be judged by their performance and when the White teams are winning then the results are in!!</p>
<p>This year the Packers dropped from a league high of 25 White players on their roster to about 15!! That&#8217;s a big drop, seemingly almost by design.</p>
<p>But AWF is not going to jump up and down just about a few backup spots on the roster. What AWF is going to jump up and down about is Jordy Nelson. Jordy Nelson is the best receiver on the Packers (and Greg Jennings is also a very fine receiver). He&#8217;s the fastest and has the best hands. He is big time. He should have been the Super Bowl MVP but they gave it to the guy who was throwing to him. Fine. He still was big time on a big time stage. Isn&#8217;t that what it&#8217;s all about? Don&#8217;t we always hear that the NFL rewards the playmakers? Ok, where&#8217;s Jordy&#8217;s reward? Why isn&#8217;t he starting and getting the PT?</p>
<p>There is an old and feeble vet ahead of him (Driver) and a poor performing black player behind him (Jones). If either of those guys were white you would be more likely to meet them at a tailgating party than watching them on TV. So come on Pack let&#8217;s see more Jordy Nelson.</p>
<p>Note to news media: the years longest TD passes are 99 yards to Wes Welker and 84 to Jordy Nelson. We feel that mandates a network wide moratorium on negative racial commentary concerning white athletic ability. No more &#8220;high motor&#8221; &#8220;lunch bucket&#8221; &#8220;blue-collar&#8221; or &#8220;not the best athlete on the field&#8221; comments after some White guy burns some black guy. Okay? Deal.</p>
<p>Eric Decker lit it up for Denver and maybe finally the Broncos will give him the start. Fortunately Eddie Royal is not only bad, but also injured. I think they would still like to start Royal over Decker but Royal&#8217;s hospital visiting hours won&#8217;t allow it. You can pick up Decker in most fantasy football leagues as White players are generally invisible to the average fan and the typical FF prognosticator.</p>
<p>Peyton Hillis continues to ramp up the yardage as the Cleveland Browns anemic offense begins to sputter to life. Look for some big numbers from him soon. Also keep an eye on teammate Evan Moore, he&#8217;s a good one and should get some more PT in the coming weeks considering the miserable receiving corps on the Browns currently.</p>
<p>Keeping fingers crossed that Toby Gerhart and Brian Leonard are next in line should injuries open up a spot to start. Both have been sharp in the few times they have been used.</p>
<p>Memo to lurkers &#8212; come on in and join the Caste Football discussion board, much more info on the good guys in there and it&#8217;s a lot more fun then the ghetto thug worship that goes on at other football forums. If you gotta watch football you might as well enjoy it!</p>

<p>Angry White Fan watched the first weekend of NFL football like a kid waiting at the hearth for Santa, and Santa was pretty good to AWF this year. For instance: Brady to Welker, 99.5 yards for six, and add in a prone huffing ‘affalete’ with a palm print on his face lying in failure on the lush green turf in Miami.</p>
<p>Or how about Brady to Gronkowski? Or Brady to Woodhead? All good as far as I’m concerned. A fantasy football team made up of only white players for the Patriots would’ve scored enough to win that week.</p>
<p>Brady threw for 517 yards, only a few less then the combined total yardage of these four clowns: Tavaris Jackson, Jason Campbell, Michael Vick, and Donovan McNabb.</p>
<p>McGraw and Piscitelli in the defensive backfield at the same time, oh no! that’s two White guys &#8212; as d-backs &#8212; at the same time!! Why it’s like a return to segregation and White only drinking fountains. (Ever notice how much better the White drinking fountains looked? Ever seen a black plumber? OK then)</p>
<p>Eric Decker 90 yard punt return, man those White guys can run!!! So Denver you screwed up with Peyton Hillis, not playing him and putting Know-gain Moreno ahead of him on the depth chart, now get it right and bench Eddie Royal and put Decker on the outside and then throw it to him!</p>
<p>Didja know that 4 of the 6 defensive players that scored TD&#8217;s in Week 1 were white &#8212; Urlacher; Kerrigan; Biermann; and Lee! Considering most teams don’t even have any White defensive players the odds of that happening are about one in a million.</p>
<p>Sad face for news that Danny Amendola and Kevin Walters might be out for the year, but happy face for later news that both may also be back much sooner.</p>
<p>The Dow and NASDAQ had Peyton Hillis’ week — down arrow; Jordy Nelson week &#8212; up arrow! Buy short on Hillis though, that stock will double. Trending way down: Collie, White and Gonzales, due, unfortunately to the Manning depression predicted to last through fiscal year ’11.</p>
<p>In other news: Cleveland at Indy, Sunday at 1 PM Eastern, CBS, White guys everywhere — don’t miss it!!</p>

<p>(AWF blog, 9/11/11) The Angry White Fan loves him some college football, especially when the White &#8220;boys” go down South and beat up on an SEC team. Twice! BYU made good on Daniel Sorenson’s pre-game smack talk as the Cougars dominated Mississippi in a game they should have won by a large margin but eked out instead 14-13. In another black/white match up in the Ghetto Dome in Georgia, Boise State hammered the Bulldogs 35-21. Ha! Guess all that team speed didn’t do much for the dark side in those games. Funny how anytime a white team gets beat by a black team the announcers are all “oh too much team speed” and whitey doesn’t have a chance unless he get him some bruthas and all that “afleticism” and “hip swivel.&#8221;</p>
<p>What now? Do Ole Miss and Georgia need to get some “brain power”? Did they come up short because they were lacking in “quick twitch cranial neurons”?? Let’s hear it MSM, you can’t stop but to crow any time a white team loses to a black team, now it went the other way so what’s the story? Is it time to re-segregate the SEC? Wasn’t Alabamy losing to a USC team with a couple of brothers on it&#8211; the WHOLE reason that ole redneck Bear Bryant went out and got hisself some negro players??? Maybe times have changed, maybe it’s time to recruit the white players. Maybe it’s time for a disparate impact lawsuit. The student body of those SEC universities is 90% white but the team is 90% black. When a private company has a racial composition that is out of whack with the surrounding population then it’s DISPARATE IMPACT!!! Hey ACLU lawyers where are you now????</p>
<p>Yeah, Ole’ Miss beaten by BYU, B-Y friggin’ U, the team that stocks its rosters with white guys from a fringe religion based in the deserts of Utah. Ole’ Miss packs it’s roster with highly ranked black recruits all the way from the Mississippi Delta to the ghettos of Miami. It shouldn’t even be a contest according to the black supremacist sports media. But the Black Rebels had their asses handed to them and the final score was in no way an indication of how badly they were beaten.</p>
<p>Add “greater talent” to the list of reasons why college football needs to recruit more white players. The list includes: white players are better students, white players don’t break the laws as much, white players are able to make the academic eligibility requirements, white student-players graduate, white high school players are treated unfairly in that they have the same measurables and accomplishments as black prep players. Oh, and they also happen to make great football players. The NFL’s best teams are the Packers and Patriots, and the NFL’s whitest teams are the Packers and Patriots. Wake up people!!!!</p>
