Now, please dont misunderstand me i mean nothing racist by this question, im just curious. Nearly all the players on the team were black. Why is this? Is it because the social system in America is still so pro-white that its hard for a black person to get a job other than sport?
history is a battle fought by a great evil,struggling to crush a small kernel of human kindness
the best players play no matter what
block people could find jobs but not many pay better than football and if they good enough to play then why not
Yes, the evil white racist society forces poor black people to become millionaire professional football players.
Its basicly modern day slavery- can you imagine the plight of those poor black young men- having to run around catching and throwing footballs for only a few million dollars a year? Horrible. Racism is truly alive and thriving in the US.
I personally blame the President. Hes a white guy, right?

Now I actually find your post somewhat amusing (not laughing at you)
though to answer your question honestly I find that so many of the
pros in the NFL happen to be black athletes and ditto with the
many young and talented players being drafted each year from colleges.
Now look at the NBA and again with the exception of the Phoenix Suns,
the majority of basketball pros are primarily black players. Now in
major league baseball, many of those players happen to be white
though there are many blacks in MLB among all of the teams along
with many talented pros from the Caribbean and Latin American.
Note* the majority of Spanish speaking baseball pros hail from
the Dominican Republic and Venezuela. And in the National Basketball
Association, the Phoenix Suns are the lone franchise which
historically has had more whites than blacks playing in that city.
The Suns were an expansion team in 1968 and their white pros
have always outnumbered blacks among all of the other NBA teams
in the history of this franchise.

NHL are racist then.. how many black do you have in NHL :)
shareHere's a couple of reasons:
1. Most black people in the US are descendants of slaves. When slave owners picked the africans to come with them, the strongest ones were picked. So Black people today have their ancestors athletic genes.
2. Like the OP said racism is still an issue. A lot of black might feel like sports are the only way out of the ghetto.
3. The most controversial: Black people have better fast-twitched muscles. So they're just more athletically gifted.

I don't think he said all black people were from the ghetto. So no idea where you got that from.
Research has conclusively shown That the majority of black people have more fast twitch muscle fibres. Therefore are better at sport.This ranges from a breeding process dated back thousands of years to Africa. Only the quickest and most resilient tribesmen ate for example
Kenyans and ethiapians are brilliant at long distance because they catch their food by running it down. Gazelle antelope etc overheat if they run too far. So the tribesmen over the years used a tactic of simply running after them till the animals died of exhaustion,if you couldn't perform this task for the pride,you were excluded from eating and kicked out the tribe and most likely died,it's called selective breeding
In the instance of jamaicans. Most of them came from africa,they were deposited in jamaica by the British empire. Most often only the strong and fit would survive the journey where they were required to row and surive off pickings.Therefore those with the most efficient muscles,metabolisms etc were the ones to have children,while the ones with say thyroid problems died. (hence underactive thyroids tend to be a hugely white problem). It has been shown that and entire species of butterfly can alter it's colour through selective mating in 50 years and in 4 generations you can turn a group of all red foxes into red and white ones by selectively breeding in using only males with white tails(dominant allele).
It's thus no surprise then that after 400 years or so of UK slave trading with another 100 or so from America that Black people are dominant at sports requiring physical prowess.

What's with all these overly long responses to this stupid thread? Geez, this is so silly, the OP clearly has been living under a rock. Most pro football players are black, and its reflected in this movie. Duh, end of discussion
shareThe OP is from Ireland and probably has never seen an American football game.
shareCome on. Why does everything have to be about race? Why didn't anyone question, why there was only one known black player in Major League and Major League 2? I think Little Big League had at least 3 blacks for the Twins.
The only color sports pays more attention to is green.

Thank you gvb! I don't know anything about the NFL. Ive seen clips of American football but im not a sports person so it wouldn't interest me
