I did a quick league wide survey and found about 177 total white starters in the NFL. There are about 38 white starters on defense which is higher than in recent years, but that overall number is right around where it has often been in the last few years. For one season it hit around 190, but it often hovers somewhere in the 170 to 180 range.

Good to know. Not really encouraging, but good to know...

The average NFL team has one White starter on defense, with many having none at all. Personally, I think that's the biggest tragedy of the Caste system in sports, even more so than the purging of Whites from the wide receiver and running back positions.

Whatever the result of the Super Bowl, what I want to see most of all is a White skill player, ideally on defense, win Super Bowl MVP. The last time that happened was Randy White in 1978. The last White non-quarterback to win Super Bowl MVP was John Riggins in 1983. I've never seen it in my lifetime. Two generations of White kids have grown up without seeing it.

Every team in the NFL has to have a min of 1 white defender! IDK how long it's been like this I gotta research. But 1 white defensive player is the league minimum on all NFL 53-man rosters. The white Owners know they gotta keep white people interested!

There have been teams with no White defensive players even as backups, but not a lot of them. The Broncos are one that come to mind back when Mike Shanahan was still their head coach. But keeping White people interested with almost all-black defenses on every team? One or two White backups out of 25 defensive players on a roster is only going to enthuse DWFs who have bought into the Caste System mythology of black supremacy.
