ReplyDomonique Foxworth is excellent. I love him. But Hughley is not that great of an interviewer.
ReplyI’d say that the reason why black players tend not to be Quarterbacks is because high school coaches will trend towards putting more physically imposing players into positions that benefit more from their size and spend. It’s not that a black kid can’t play Quarterback, it’s more than he can excel somewhere the eventual white Quarterback can’t due to size. Players might also be reluctant to go against that trend because most of the black NFL players they look up to and want to emulate aren’t Quarterbacks.
Smaller athletes focus on developing skills to compensate, there’s a similar trend in Rugby, even in teams with a high number of black and pacific island players the Flyhalf position (closest equivalent to a Quarterback) is generally played by a white person, there’s very notable exceptions so it’s not a question of inherent ability of different races but the low numbers is reflective of the positions different races seek out.
ReplyI appreciate the guest hosts, but Roy Wood Jr. should be the next host if he wants it. Maybe you guys are in negotiation.
ReplyUnfortunately the college programs for players on a Basketball or Football scholarship are a joke, they’re effectively honourary degrees. I remember the Memphis Grizzlies Steven Adams talking about it, he was barely literate in High School, got his Basketball scholarship and was one of the top students in the classes they put him in because it was easier than High School in New Zealand, didn’t get the education that he was hoping for so declare for the NBA draft after his first year. Student athletes are there to play, not learn, that’s what needs to change, if they can’t pay them then at least set them up for a better life.
ReplyHave no idea what these guys are talking about.
ReplyLove me, an intelligent athlete who can contribute and carry on a great conversation. Great perspectives.
