I think the answer as to why most players are black is similar to why most owners and coaches are white.

When I Googled the question of how many white overall were drafted, Google wouldn't answer it.
That's not how Google works. It only seems that way sometimes.

I find it hard to believe that there are no White players
out there that are NFL ready?
I don’t follow college or pro ball anymore, so perhaps I’m
wrong.
The stats should reveal it one way or the other.

Professional sports are 100% meritocracy. The best for the positions play. Skin color doesn’t matter. Winning does.
There’s a lesson in there somewhere, but I just can’t figure it out…

Football was created by a white guy.
Why would blacks want to play?

69% of all NFL players are black. 21% of quarterbacks are black. I don’t know of any black kickers/punters.
Only one quarterback was drafted in the first two rounds.
Quarterbacks and kickers/punters have much longer careers than running backs, edge rushers and wide receivers. So even though 69% of players are black, a higher percentage will likely be drafted to replace dropped, injured or retired players, who will more often be black as well.

What is Mitch Trubisky up to these days?
To: Rennes Templar
First question: Why would the Packers’ CEO highlight such a ‘spicy’ question?
Second question: Why does this warrant an MSN article at all?
My guess is that both despise this woman for having opinions they deem ‘incorrect’, so they want to let the puritanical mob dox and harass her.

NFL is racist - should be 100% .

What is Mitch Trubisky up to these days?
About a 71 quarterback rating. And fighting for a starting job against a white rookie drafted in the first round by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The real answer is “WHO GIVES A CRAP”, why would anybody care what the makeup of the NATIONAL FELON LEAGUE is?
Don’t care about them
Never have cared about them
Never will care about them.

there are plenty of great white players except they get ignored, like Cooper Kupp.....too slow, not athletic enough, not big enough, not enough arrogance I guess....
I don't follow pro sports much but I will follow even less if my entire race is not represented.....

Awhile back we had a SIRI or whatever the thing was connected to the internet that you can speak and ask it stuff. The kids would ask it to tell jokes.
So I said “Siri - tell me a joke about a Rabbi and a Priest.”
“I’m sorry, I don’t know any jokes like that.”

Thank gawd that I was never interested in this sport!
(This is the sport with the rectangular playing field, right - not diamond-shaped?)

It’s for the same reason you see very few blacks in NASCAR. They don’t have the balls.
To: SmokingJoe
Yes it is.
No. It parses search strings and looks for websites that align with terms in the string. It is not true AI. "Ask Jeeves" was an early attempt to pull it off explicitly. It failed, which is why there isn't an "Ask Jeeves" anymore. Cortana and Siri are more in that territory, now. Even they are far from effective most of the time.
If the questioner, or anyone, made a linked to web page that used her phrasing of the question and had the information, more than likely Google and other decent search engines would pick it up, as a SEARCH ENGINE, not as an AI Intelligent Assistant.
