Christian McCaffrey and NFL Discrimination at the Running Back position.

avatar
(Edited)

Has there been race discrimination in the NFL for more than 40 years? There hasn't been a white running back since before the 1980's until Christian McCaffrey. Yes, i know many of you will probably tell me Mike Alstott. But Mike Alstott was a fullback no different than Moose Johnston and Tom Rathman. No one can tell me that there wasn't a White running back with the Talent of Christian McCaffrey for more than 40 years.

I believe discrimination towards white running backs in the NFL continues. They are too late with Christian McCaffrey as his performance is so ridiculously outstanding that they can't just hide him somewhere without people figuring out that something strange is going on. The NFL has always been on the wrong side of history and it is time we start holding them accountable for this.

When it was popular to discriminate against black quarterbacks. The NFL had no black quarterbacks. When it wasn't popular to kneel before the national anthem. The NFL artacked those that kneeled during the National Anthem. When people were being persecuted illegaly, locked down and illegaly forced to wear masks, test, vaccinate and segregation of the unvaxxed was promoted and popular. The NFL discriminated against their players and segregated the unvaxxed, forced masks and testing.

No one is ever standing up to this bully that takes political positions when they are popular, and let me tell you that they will continue doing this if people continue allowing them to get away with it. The NFL needs to abide by Civil Rights Laws under the EEOC as they are considered an employer. The players are very guilty for not getting together and reporting the NFL to the EEOC for discrimination and segregation. We live in a constitutional republic which has capitalist initiatives such as striking. If NFL players would have struck, the entire NFL would have been forced to discontinue all segregation of players and covid discriminatory illegal requirements.

What about John Riggins?

I'm not trying to argue with you about this but I would like to know specifically what discrimination towards McCaffrey you are referring to. I've not heard anything about it and I want to know more because he used to be a Panther.

Is it just because he doesn't get recognized as well as we would like because of his race?

John Riggins was before the 1980s. Plus, Riggins was a Fullback. They can't really discriminate against McCaffrey because it will backfire. Think about McCaffrey as a leaked Lab experiment. They completely erased White RB talent from the 1980s up until McCaffrey. I bet the NFL wants to probably kill the Panther coaching staff that gave McCaffrey a chance at the RB position. Right now it wouldn't be racist to generalize and say for example that the White Race just can't produce running back talent. That would be totally exceptable and we can thank the NFL for that lie.

Just like the NFL for so long suggested that Blacks couldn't produce Quarterback Talent up until of course there was a leak with Warren Moon who out played many White Quarterbacks from the pocket. Warren Moon played no different than any pocket Quarterback and was amazing at it. The NFL always ends up getting exposed and always ends up in the wrong side of history. They are always in the side of Tyranny and they need to be stopped!

Another thing i can remember about John Riggins is that he was more like a Mike Alstot, a bulldozer who could break some big runs every now and then, but usually he gained the tough yards. Even when he played the running back position in the 80s he was more like Mike Alstot, or better yet, Mike Alstot was like him. Riggins was not like McCaffrey.. McCaffrey is more like a Fred Taylor. Unfortunately White running backs like McCaffrey were erased.

i went back and watched some Riggins footage and you are absolutely correct about his style. He was just an unstoppable bulldozer of a runner and there isn't a whole lot of finesse in his highlight reel. Sure he would dodge tackles as well but for the most part he seems very prepared to just run through anyone that gets in his way.

Hi @greywarden100

I notice that you have not been voting the Burn Posts by @buildawhale. Please note that when you vote the Burn Post, only the Author Rewards are burnt and not the Curation Rewards, which you still continue earning.

For example, if your vote is worth 8000 $SPORTs, only 4000$SPORTS is burnt and you still get to earn the 4000 $SPORTS in Curation Rewards.

Burning $Sports reduces the supply of $SPORTS and hence the selling pressure on $SPORTS, which will have the effect of increasing the price of $SPORTS tokens as the days pass by. Therefore, you benefit by burning the Author Rewards, whilst still earning your Curation Rewards.

Please also be informed that you can automate your voting using the https://hive.vote app.
