Is it just me or is there way more white skill players in football now

In the 70's and 80's there were plenty of white skill players. During the mid to late 90's is when you started seeing hardly any. I blame this on soccer, as well as the overall pussification of white males during that time. Many white boys quit playing high school football during that time.

Has soccer declined in popularity?

I think you’re just seeing more spread offenses with 3 and 4 receiver sets, and shifty white guys playing the slot.

That makes sense . You don’t need 4 guys like moss on the field. You need 1 or 2 and then a guy like welker underneath who has a different skill set because just as welker couldn’t do the things moss could moss could never play the way welker did

There have always been white skill players. I don’t think there are any more or less now.

I’m thinking it was partly due to coaches not giving white skill players a chance. Pretty much every white player at a skill position in the NFL is a good player. Where are all the average or crappy white skill players? They didn’t even get a shot. It seems for white skill players to even get a shot, they have to be almost a sure thing and guaranteed to be a good player.

I'm so old that for my first football I went to lsu game there were no black players in the SEC. I don't remember any non whites in the stands around us. 1950s.
I attended early 1960s games at la tech McNeese and nw state and northeastern.
did not see a black person.

Kentucky (2nd place) got to go to hoops ncaa because Miss State could not play vs colored people.

people in paducah were so proud that Tilghman high school integrated without incident. I recall one black guy. a rb. basketball was all white.
slaughtered by Wes unseld and Louisville Male. all black.
Tilghman was mostly 6 5 bean poles.
Louisville Male was Unseld getting every rebound and guards under 5 10 who flew down court for layups off long passes and hit uncontested from the corners.
