Why aren't there more white running backs?

There are a lot of strong and fast white guys out there.

I mean, they might not be Tyson Gay on the track... but they don't have to be the absolute fastest guys on the field.

There are plenty of white guys who are fast enough to be a good running back.



So why are they so rare? I mean, I can understand there being more black running backs. But a white running back is almost unheard of. They shouldn't be THAT rare.

What gives?

Not sure how timely this thread is as they seem to be making a comeback over the past few years. Quite a few now.

White corners are the next frontier.

Why so obsessed over race?

I bet you love the OT which scours the internet for minority based crime.



It takes more than speed to be a good running back anyway.

Why not you just enjoy the damn games

You can probably still count them on one hand in all of the power 5 conferences.

I'm not.

I've never posted on the OT and never read the OT.

Of course it does... but speed is really the only thing that separates black and white athletes. There are more black players with raw speed, it seems.

I can multi-task.

Would you count as white or black given your recent DNA results?

Most of the fast white guys are smaller.

"Because blacks are tougher like junkyard dogs and whites have more creativity that is better suited for the qb position."

There weren't many Christians before Jesus.

White running backs will increase after Christian McCaffrey

Not sure, but it's definitely not because they can't do it.

Being called white hurts my feelings.

I prefer European American, even though me or anyone in my family for the last 150 years has lived in Europe..

a lot of times, this discrimination starts in middle school. and it's often by white coaches.

also, often white mom and dad want athlete to play soccer, a more "civilized" sport.
