Quote:Exactly the same kind of logic.

Why do you think there havn't been any majorly successful white running backs since the early 80s? Considering there were a ton of great white running backs during that time. Do you think white people just got bad at running the ball? No of course not. Skin colour doesn't matter, performance does.


Marquette King is one the best punters in the league, by your logic the Raiders should have completely ignored him because he is black and there has never been a good black punter before.

 

 

I have no idea, but the fact remains that they haven't been successful. If skin color doesn't matter, explain to me why there hasn't been any great caucasian RB's since the 80's? 

 

Again, with King, it isn't that African American players couldn't punt. It's that they didn't want to. There was just a lack of black players at the position. They chose to play other positions. Can you blame them? Why would anyone want to be a punter, when they could be anything else on the team?
