My buddy, Ken Jones, lived in Fort Myers. He was the #1 player in the state of Florida back in the early 90's in High School. No college team offered him a scholarship.
Why is it OK to accept racism in certain cases, but not others?
This is off the point, and I apologize for it. But what I mentioned is real, what McNabb mentions is imagined. (at least now it is imagined...I agree that it took a lot to get the black QB in the game...Moon and Williams were trailblazers.)

LOL! I'm not trying to be a racist cause I'm not at all. But I think it's true. I'm sure there were some white guys that didn't get a chance because of their color. Was your friend one of them? I dont' know but I'm sure if he was that good someone would have found him. But if more white guys could jump higher and run faster then there would be more white guys in the NBA. Don't you think?
Look at schools like Indiana when Knight was coaching. They always have a good number of white players. They are always known as smart, fundamentally sound players. But most of them never make it to the NBA because of their athletic skill level.
You NEVER EVER see white corners or RB's in the NFL. Wr's here and there but not many. Why? Are blacks better athelets? I think there is a little truth to it.
I'll never ever forget when Larry Bird was being interviewed with I think Magic Johnson and someone else. He said he use to love it when white guys in the NBA would try and guard him. Cause he knew he would rip the guy apart. Now why did he say this?? BTW... Larry Bird was one of my favorite NBA players of all time.
I'm black and I love to ski. How come you don't see any black skiers or hockey players? Many white people think it's because we are from a warm climate ( Africa ) and can't take the cold. I mean it's stupid but there is probably some truth to it. I hate the cold but I love to ski!
