Our 2010 First Round Draft Pick Should Be...

Like I said in my original statement name me one good white running back in the NFL. Riggo played in the days when players ran 4.9's and there weren't really any 4.4 speed guys. He played in the days when a 300 lb lineman were a rarity.

And I've seen Gehrhart play and he's a great college guy but not an nfl guy. He's just like jacob hester IMO, and Hesters been pretty lame for the chargers so I say save this pick for an OLman

With those dinosaur attitudes of yours, did you time travel to get to the 21st century?

Read other comments above. To correlate race with athletic talent as you have done is not just unethical, it is inaccurate.

No its pretty accurate if you ask me, and true, its just that no one has the balls to put it up online, because race is such a heated issue.

No. It is not the case that I think like you do but I am too cowed to say it. The fact is, I just don't see the world in terms of race like you do. Few people these days share your racist perspectives.

Look, I'm white, and I'm saying to not draft the white guy in terms of this gehrhart guy. I don't see all of the NFL like this, but its a topic that does come up, thats why theres a rooney rule, and other things involving race. I don't see how you can say I'm racist when I'm going against my own race, if I were racist I'd say draft the white guy, which I'm not.

Anyway since this thread is about who we should get in 2010, I think we should get Russell Okung or Ciron Black cause they both seem to be great LT's from LSU and OKSU. Jason Fox of miami seems like a good pickup at RT in the later rounds.

The Oxford English Dictionary describes "racism" thus:
"The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race."

You argued that white people cannot play running back in the NFL. That is racism as defined above. It does not matter whether you personally are white, black, or purple striped.

Gehrhart won't be a good running back. It's that simple I've already altered this thread from who would you pick in the 2010 draft to racism of football players. Its true that the NFL is mostly black players. Almost every running back in the league is black but a few. And those few all suck. End of Story.

Here it is to the Jimmy "The Greeks" in this forum.

On January 16, 1988, he was fired by the CBS network (where he was a contributor to the NFL Today program since 1976) after commenting to WRC-TV reporter Ed Hotaling in a Washington, D.C. restaurant that African Americans were naturally superior athletes at least in part because they had been bred to produce stronger offspring during slavery:
“ The black is a better athlete to begin with because he's been bred to be that way — because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back, and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs. This goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trading, the owner — the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have a big black kid. ”

According to the New York Times obit, Snyder expressed regret for his comments, remarking: "What a foolish thing to say."

the NFL, the olympics, almost all major sports except hockey

they are better athletes for whatever reason....its not racist at all.....quit holding onto whatever middle aged white male complex you have......white guys just arent as good at sports as black guys

i say that coming from a town of 500 people....graduating 40 kids a year from high school........coaching a predominantly white team with the rare black student athlete who almost always starts

my team wins the league almost every season and goes into the playoffs in the top half of the seeds.....we are a white public school but occasionally draw a black student or 2 from the surrounding areas who actually does play and makes huge impacts....usually on both offense and defense

when we go into the playoffs we usually do well until we have to play a catholic school or an inner city school that dominates with speed and athleticism that our school just cant compete with

You said that certain racial characteristics were "proven." I asked you for studies which demonstrate your point. You responded with mindless, intolerant opinion.

Just admit that you are an ignorant racist so that we can move on.

No, no one is idiotic enough to think it's remotely relative. Guess what, I don't know your race, but I know you are ignorant in this matter.
