Hmm. After starting this thread I noticed that I had not come upon a single white player at the position during a google search and wondered if there were any.
Well it appears I'm not alone.
Apparently a website devoted to such issues - and whose authors seem certain they have found the reason for the absents of white or other non-black players in some sports positions - is wholely obsessed with it.
Caste Football seems innocent enough on the surface, but as with any discussion about race in the USA it quickly deteriorates into the usual mudslinging when the
Discussion Forum gets specific.
These guys - and I assume most are young men - are risking seeming like just another bunch of
SWAMPS (
Straight
White
Angry
Male
Propagandists) living in an internet bubble.
We have certainly had these discussions on this Board, and it has become equally intense. But these guys seem so isolated that none even consider that cornerback is an unglamorous grunt position that simply doesn't have as much
sex appeal to most professional athletes, and the rewards are not worth the pain.
