I guess racism is the only way to explain anything nowadays.

  I used racism to explain a game with clearly biased diversity numbers (most linebackers black, most quarterbacks white, most audience white especially college football). Not trying to explain why frogs are gay because of racism.

    So what most linebarckers are black (aren't most players are black anyway?), most quarterbacks are white and most audience white? Why should they be "diverse" in color, what's the point?

      The lack of diversity in the coaching ranks is the result of structural racism. The lack of black quarterbacks is a direct result both structural and often overt racism where black quarterbacks are considered to have less intelligence and leadership ability than white quarterbacks. At the same time, black players are overrepresented in what are called 'skill positions' -- those requiring more speed and athleticism. To ignore this is either to: 1.) Not really know football culture; or 2.) Be intentionally obtuse Commentators like Bomani Jones speak often about these subjects, if you'd like to read up on it.

        It sounds to me like people are being put in their positions where they are the most effective. Skewing any other way for the sake of having a "equal representation" is simply silly imo. We see the same thing in tech where we want everyone being represented regardless of skills and the business goals and just to have that social justice satisfaction for a brief time. I'm getting real tired of this rhetoric already..ironically it's parroted largely by non-minorities.
