There is something to it but the effect is probably minimal. Lots of kids like to look for people that look like themselves when they start watching sports, which might have been the case with me and Cal Ripken when I was a kid. However that was more than likely just a product of of him being a great baseball player and me being an Orioles fan. I mean I also liked Art Monk a lot when I was growing up. Michael Vick's favorite QB as a kid wasn't Randall Cunningham, but Steve Young.

And I have to say that right now my favorite player on the Skins is easily Orakpo followed by McNabb and Daniels. Race might get you noticed for an extra two seconds if you're in the minority, such is the case of black guys who play hockey but in the end the thing fans care the most about is how you play followed closely by how you conduct yourself.
