Do the New England Patriots Prefer White Players?
TruthLamp ^ | 11/17/2014

Does the front office of the New England Patriots prefer to have white players on its roster? There is circumstantial evidence that may be the case.

While the racial makeup of an NFL team in any given year has its share of random fluctuations, the New England Patriots have seemingly had a suspiciously large amount of white players on its teams during the Robert Kraft-Bill Belichick era.

Wes Welker, Danny Amendola, Danny Woodhead, Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski, and Tom Brady — all have been some of the more prominent “faces” of the franchise in recent years, and they all happen to be white.

Some years back, black pro sports players named Boston as the most racist city they visited.

Boston is an incredibly segregated city, it’s shocked me every time I’ve been there. You really don’t see any black people. Instead you see white trash people doing stuff that in any other northeast city would be not white.

Gee, too bad the Pats put their racists predilections over winning championships.

Weren't the Red Sox the last team to get a black player? The great Celtic teams of the '80s featured Larry Bird and Danny Ainge. And heck, I don't think ANY of the Bruins have ever been black!

Perhaps the league prefers black players.

After all, if demographics is the guide blacks should only be <13% of any team.

This is silly. Each team has it system. Belichick is like Walsh. He gets rid of players before their prime. Why would he bring in Seau and Moss in 2007 if he were a racist.

The team that won the Super Bowl?

You think they aren’t choosing players based on ability?

Maybe they don’t care if they win or lose — they just focus on hiring white guys?

Does that make any sense at all?

I live in the Boston area and spend a lot of time in Boston. I can’t believe you don’t see black people. There are many different races in Boston.

Race pimps won’t be satisfied until all sports in this country are manned by %100 black skinned individuals, regardless of their qualifications.

CWII coming, sooner or later, IMO.

RE: I don’t think ANY of the Bruins have ever been black!

They have black players in the organization and actually had the first black player ever in the NHL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_O%27Ree

Just died recently actually.

If they do they’re championing minority representation in professional sports. Don’t get greedy.
