Am I the only one that refuses to watch any team with a White QB?

[Saiyajin]

Sorry but after reading these studies I just cant do it

This shyts deeper than sports

This study examines data from the 2001 to 2009 National Football League (NFL) seasons to determine whether Black quarterbacks face discrimination. When controlling for injury, age, experience, performance, team investment, backup quality, and bye weeks, Black quarterbacks are found to be 1.98–2.46 times more likely to be benched. Marginal evidence is also found that Black quarterbacks face less discrimination in areas with a larger percentage of Black residents. Additionally, it has been observed that when White quarterbacks are benched, the team improves by more than when Black quarterbacks are benched. This provides evidence that there is a cost to this discrimination.

Race and Quarterback Survival in the National Football League

This study used social learning theory and a framing perspective to examine the ways in which Black and White college quarterbacks were described by a major sports publication prior to the National Football League draft. An examination of 4,745 attributions used to describe Black and White National Football League quarterback prospects over a 10-year period revealed data patterns that emphasized racial stereotypes. Black quarterbacks were primarily described with words and phrases that emphasized their physical gifts and their lack of mental prowess. Conversely, White quarterbacks were described as less physically gifted, but more mentally prepared for the game and less likely to make mental errors. Implications for journalism, sports and scholars are discussed.

@jadillac heres scientific proof that proves what you were saying in your thread about fast twitch fibers

This study examined how the media portrays and stereotypes African-American quarterbacks as not having the mental, cognitive, or leadership abilities needed to be a successful quarterback. This study used a content analysis method to examine the showing of Super Bowl 50, where one team was led by African-American quarterback, Cam Newton, and the other was led by white quarterback, Peyton Manning. The study analyzed commentary on both quarterbacks from the announcers during the game. The study concentrated on the main hypothesis that the media stereotypes African-American quarterbacks as only having natural physical abilities yet lacking the mental aspect of the game while depicting the white quarterback as having the leadership skills and cognitive abilities to have success at the quarterback position. The analysis revealed results that supported the hypothesis and reinforced the results of previous studies. The study found that African-American athletes are depicted by the media as having natural ability, yet lacking the mental abilities and leadership skills required in order to become a successful quarterback.

An experiment showed that a sports news article based on negative racial stereotypes about Black or White athletes can impede athletic performance based on the theory of stereotype threat. In the experiment, White participants performed significantly worse at basketball when they were exposed to the race priming news article. In comparison, Black participants performed significantly better at basketball when exposed to the same race priming article as the White participants. The experiment also observed the effect of stereotype threat on the football performance and situational anxiety levels of Black and White participants. The implications of the findings for the theory of stereotype threat (Steele and Aronson, 1995) and discussion of Black and White athletes in the news media were discussed.

Until recently, the position of quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) was not an option for Black athletes. Today, many teams use Black quarterbacks, a development that might suggest race is no longer relevant when it comes to the evaluation of signal callers in the NFL. By modeling quarterback performance and salary over 1995-2006, we find that Black quarterbacks are more likely to run with the football, yet this skill is not compensated in the market. Furthermore, we find evidence of performance-related salary discrimination against Black quarterbacks in the top half of the salary distribution.

This study looks at how National Football League Draft Magazines represent players of different racial groups and, in turn, the part these magazines play in maintaining a legacy of racist knowledge. A content analysis is used to qualitatively evaluate how black and white players are described and divided through the use of language and how historically-endowed ideologies are translated and maintained through current professional football discourses. The results reveal that the representations of white and black athletes conform to roles that were derived out of historically racist knowledge and that white superiority shapes the evaluation and representation of athletes in professional football, supporting and essentializing traditional racist notions of black and white males.

Are you a c00n if you support a team with a cac QB?

 

[PortCityProphet]

But the teams with black Qbs still have white owners

 

[Saiyajin]

Are you a c00n if you support a team with a cac QB?

nah no need to go that extreme but its important to be aware that it is really likely that a more skilled black QB was turned down in favor of that less skilled cac QB(proven in the study i linked)

which goes against the whole spirit of sports, if your team is more devoted to racial stacking than it is to winning, do they deserve your support?

true and thats a whole nother thread but that has more to do with wealth disparity (much bigger issue than cac qb's )

i just have an issue with the fact that studies prove that cacs are chosen as QB's despite being worse

its one thing for a rich billionaire to buy a team to make himself profit

its another thing for the GM and coaches to handicap themselves on the one thing they should be focused on doing, winning, all just to soothe their cac inferiority complex
