Why hasn't there been a white CB in the NFL for over 20 years?

    Superior hip genetics. CB is all about the hips.

    The last well-known white cornerback was Jason Sehorn, formerly of the New York Giants. Sehorn played with the Giants from 1996 to 2002. Sehorn had two incredible seasons in 1996 and 1997 before tearing his ACL returning a kick in the 1998 preseason. He was never the same player after that. He logged one year with the St. Louis Rams in 2003 at safety but was out of the league shortly thereafter.

    Sports Illustrated, however, pointed out that Sehorn wasn’t truly the last white cornerback. Here’s what it had to say:

    “To be fair, though, calling Sehorn the last of the white cornerbacks means ignoring the dozen or so snaps Dustin Fox played for the Eagles and the Bills in 2006 and ’07. It means overlooking Ethan Kilmer’s single magnificent snap as a corner for the Bengals in ’06, and it completely neglects another member of the Cincinnati secondary that season, the real Sehorn – the last white player to start a regular-season NFL game at the position.

    (For the record, the tight-knit cornerback fraternity seems to respect Patriots receiver Julian Edelman for the spot duty he pulled over 13 regular-season games in ’11).”

    So while it’s clear that not many players at the position are white, does that mean there are currently zero white cornerbacks in the league?

    Are there any white cornerbacks in the NFL right now?

    There are currently no white cornerbacks in the NFL. It’s unclear why there are no white players at the position, as essentially every other position has white players.

    It’s a mystery, but Sehorn was the last prominent white cornerback, with very few others sprinkled throughout the years in the interim between Sehorn’s retirement and now. Julian Edelman’s stint as a nickel corner represents the last one.

    The website Thank God It’s Saturday compiled a somewhat satirical countdown list of college football’s greatest white cornerbacks in the “hopes” of another one reaching the NFL. It’s a subject that comes up every few years and makes the rounds among fans and media.

    The NFL is a “win-now” league. Every team is trying to field the best possible team it can. If a white cornerback appeared tomorrow who was qualified to start for one of the league’s 32 teams, rest assured the player would get signed.


    The whites just don't have the hips. Genetic fact, allegedly.

    I have to agree with Yellodawg here.

    Racial equality says blacks shooting only make up 13% of the NFL. Why isn't this being enforced?

    So you're saying there are genetic differences between whites and blacks and in this case this is a genetic difference that benefits blacks. Are there any genetic differences that benefit whites or that might hinder blacks in some areas?

    Jason Sehorn's hips must have worked just well enough to bag Angie Harmon.

    Respect.

    All you fucking do is cry like bitch flea. You should just create a tag line "You said something that made my snatch hurt" and post that for each of your responses. How am I crying Flea? Just because you're too fucking stupid to engage in an intelligent conversation doesn't mean I'm crying.

    Your fucking pathetic canned responses are the real examples of someone who is crying like a bitch.

    Said the Kunt who came to this thread in order to cry like a bitch. What do you feel you've offered in this thread other than crying like a bitch Flea?

    More crying from the crying bitch. Keep it going, Gaybob. Or maybe start another thread so you can fit some crybaby tears in there.

    lol

    Blah, blah crying.... bitch... sandy vag...

    But the Kunt isn't whining. Look I get it Flea, what I said made your snatch hurt but you're too stupid to give an intelligent response so we get this:

    Keep crying, Gaybob, you pathetic little bitch of a man.

    It's funny that you complain about "crying" when all you've done is emote and cry like a bitch in every response you've made in this thread.

    Feel free to address the substance of anything I said Flea, but we both know you can't so we'll get more emoting and more of your Kunt act.

    You have no idea the damage Jason sehorn did

    Jason sehorn was white?
  • SFGbobSFGbob Member Posts: 32,910
    Kendi explains in his massive bestseller, "How to Be an Antiracist": "A racist policy is any measure that produces or sustains racial inequity between racial groups. An antiracist policy is any measure that produces or sustains racial equity between racial groups." And, says Kendi, "There is no such thing as a nonracist or race-neutral policy." All policies either forward equity or oppose it. Any policy not explicitly designed to rectify unequal outcome is therefore racist.

    So would Ibram X. Kendi agree that the NFL's position on white corner backs is racist? 20 years without a white starting CB sure seems to me like a sustained racial inequity between two racial groups.
