Why are there no white runningbacks in the NFL..?

[mgoblue2290]

White players don't have the mental capacity to play RB.

White guys not getting chances at runningback in the pros is a crime like those years when black guys didn't get a chance to play quarterback.

Oh, wait, no. They're just too damn slow. Same reason why most 100-metre Olympic sprint finals are all-black affairs.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Black people are generally better at the athleticism postions (WR, CB, HB, etc) because of the larger muscles in their legs. It's just a genetic trait. That may explain why there are very few white running backs (starting) in the NFL.

No racism intended here. Research the topic if you disagree.

Tell that to the suits at CBS...

Every white guy playing and named in this thread though is a HB/FB hybrid. I cant think of any pure rb's who are white. NOtables from years past on college though....

Jake Sharp
Luke Staley
Brock Forsey
Chance Kretchsmer
Whte kid from Auburn who played a game or 3 then had the starting job snatched by Ben Tate

And no...Justin Fargas is mixed, not white

No one has mentions brian leonard... i guess its cause hes black on the inside...

Was mentioned already, but nice call nonetheless.

read a book awhile ago called taboo:why blacks athletes dominate sports. It basically said it has to do with our geographical differences of our ancestors.

black marathon runners from kenya or some country close all have long flat plains and their culture of hunting which requires distance running makes them the best marathoners in the world.

The book said northern europeans have strong upper body strnegth cause of the cold and their survival. bigger people last longer in cold and strong people are the ones making shelter and hunting in snow.

Asians are supposedly more nimble and agile supposedly because of the forests and their need to navigate through them.

their were others but i forgot.

the NFL is a Reggin sport....actually scratch that.....football.....is the Reggin sport....they took it away....

I don't know the ethnicity of Kevin Kaesviharn, but he was light-skinned. He also knocked BONAFIDE! on his ass.

There aren't even any white RBs in college. I think the last true white tailback to go to the NFL was Kevin McDougal from Colorado State, and he had a cup of coffee with the Colts a couple years ago.

Jacob Hester ran for 1,000 yards lining up as a tailback in the SEC. Doesn't really play RB for San Diego, but I'm sure he could.

another thought, not really on topic

how come mexicans cant ball? you ever watch mexicans play basketball? its not a pretty sight, usually its half court, just missed shot after missed shot,cant dribble either and a lot of laughing

I'm sure my Cali brothers will agree with me
