It will never stop. This is a multicultural country. Your outrage with continue. Wait until an Asian starts at Qb. It will be a big deal. You will be furious while the rest of us celebrate.

Your post reminded me of American History books as a kid that celebrated the US as a “melting pot” of humanity.
Wow. That is not very often celebrated these days.
I never said or insinuated OP was racist. Never said that about you, either. I simply asked why does he care about a tweet by ESPN. It’s harmless. Has no impact on your life.
So by the response from most of you, I take it this crap will never stop.
I thought we were supposed to be one country yet we make a big deal by one race doing certain things.
WTF cares what color skin the qb has. Hell I’d say half of these “black” qbs have at least one white parent.

Take the advice given. Examine why it bothers you. It’s hard to self examine. Therapists can help you work through it. It won’t be easy but it s worth it. I’m not trying to insult you.
I won't speak to defend or decipher the OPs level of "outrage" but honestly, people of a certain age - post civil right era kids - myself included, were taught from a very early to not see or judge color.
Nowadays, it is pointed out in everything.
As someone else already stated, just being an NFL starting quarterback is a helluva accomplishment, what realistic point is trying to made by pointing out the race? To incessantly remind people that blacks have been oppressed? I think everyone with an iota of intelligence has gotten that message.
For the small-minded on here, particularly the OP, consider maybe, just maybe, that few seconds where that is emphasized during your broadcast isn't intended for you. Maybe, just maybe, there is something that doesn't directly apply to your fragile ego and desires. Maybe that mention is for the part of the population that was told they couldn't, told they shouldn't, the part of the population that dealt with real oppression, not this snowflakey BS.
Maybe some kid saw that and realized he could aspire to more. Maybe that kid smiles thinking about you whining in an armchair as the world leaves you behind.

You are unusually stuck on this topic. Get interested in something you can control. Like, maybe, beating your meat. Go pound your pud and cuss those damn people of another color taking your boy’s seat at the table.
You come across like the ole boy North Florida rednecks from my childhood. What a throwback…
You seem to disregard current events, provoked by certain folks, that are bringing skin color and ethnicity back to the forefront.
The number of black head coaches is a problem but the numbers aren’t that far off.
The black population of the U.S. is 12.8% according to the 2020 census. That would mean the NFL should have 4 black head coaches for its 32 teams. They currently have 3.
50% of all NFL starting quarterbacks have been since 2009.
Meaning a current 8th or 9th grader has been alive for 1/2 of all of them.
Only a few decades ago people said black men lacked the mental ability to run the offense, lead a team, etc.

Fun. Now do %s of NFL players which is a better metric.
We are talking head coaches and positions of power not the employees. The NHL is 99% white should they only hire white coaches?
Are you saying playing a sport professionally is not very good experience for coaching the sport professionally?
Or that anyone in this country is qualified to be a head coach?
But it’s way more then 15% isn’t it. Maybe because they are better at the sport. For years white players were better at the quarterback position. That trend is now changing and for some reason it has to be some big historic event. I’m not upset that most of the nfl is black people because I’d rather watch a more talented player regardless of color.
Manypeople are told they can’t do things in life. I bet a large percentage of all NFL players were told they weren’t good enough to make it. Yet all of them have. Why isn’t ESPN celebrating every NFL player that was doubted along the way. Someone told them they weren’t good enough to make it yet they did.
Maybe some team should just make an all black team and we can celebrate how great it is that a whole team is black players.
What a bunch of whiny bitches. MAGAs seem to have the victim mentality today.
Playing professionally doesn’t automatically make you head coaching material.
And evidently anyone in the country is qualified to be a head coach. You have watched Nebraska football the last 20 years right?
Ah, I think I see the problem.
What exactly am I claiming to be the victim of? All I’m saying it’s the shits getting old. Why are we supposed to keep hearing about a black person(s) doing something.
I mean good for them but why is this agenda constantly being pushed on people. What exactly is it supposed to be doing?
We’re supposed to see everyone as equals and color doesn’t matter yet media constantly points out color all the time.
Oh so they just played the position because they were white. I’m sure every owner in the league said hey to make it fair no one can play a black qb because we have to keep it even and keep the nfl racist.
Lol 😂
Some black kids I grew up playing ball with were better athletes than me and my brothers, some weren’t. There was no distinction by position, as we all played all positions as needed. I was a pretty slow dude in a sprint, but had fast twitch reflexes that helped when pass rushing or running the ball.
White players weren’t any better at QB as a whole than blacks were.
Your experience has been whites played QB because blacks were excluded from the chance. That is your perception. Not based on skill or smarts, but exclusion.

Yep the whole nfl didn’t allow black people to play qb.
Some of you guys are geniuses.
Exactly you can’t come up with any reasoning to the questions I asked so your response is cry some more.
Lol what a putz
You must of had your head up your ass for decades. That, or you fell into line when the talk was that black players weren’t “smart “ enough to play QB.
Who am I kidding, you fell into line and are now one of the few still willing to promote that crap.
That’s not at all what I’m saying. I said players were played at the positions they were played at because they were better at those positions.
Others on here seem to think the nfl only played white players at quarterback. Not because they were possibly better but because they were white.
Sure that’s what they said. Hell iowas football coach said he didn’t play certain players because they couldn’t learn the playbook. They might have been better but if you don’t know your assignment or what to do on plays then it doesn’t matter how good you are.
Considering the overwhelming majority of coaches have played the sport, saying 4/32 coaches in theory should be black just isnt correct.
and it’s not just coaches. Executives/owners are party of the problem also. lack of diversity contributes to the franchises that just continue to hire, fire, hire again because they always have the same voices, with the same ideas that don’t work.
