White Fans/Black Athletes
Caste Football.us (CF) is one of the best kept secrets on the Internet. The website is certainly not the only one dedicated to race and sports. But it is the only one sympathetic to White athletes who, they maintain, are systematically discriminated against in the U.S. due to notions of Black athletic supremacy. The site often documents these cases of naïve White kids being passed over for scholarships year-after-year, most likely because it assumed they can't play running back, corner back, and other glory positions reserved for Black athletes.
CF actually tries to help young White athletes by letting them know which schools will and will not consider Whites for key positions. They do this through pre-season rankings of all 120 Football Bowl System (FBS) football programs.
One thing is clear from the 2011 rankings: Whites (and indeed all non-Blacks) should abandon any hope of playing in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). Indeed, the SEC is worse than the almost 70 percent Black NFL when it comes to allowing non-Blacks to start.
This is important for a number of reasons, not least of which is that that the SEC has been the marquee confence in college football for the last decade. SEC teams are featured in the most prominent games and the most high profile (and lucrative) bowl games. Success in the SEC often translates into a ticket to the NFL.
Black Men Can't Kick
Soccer -- fútbol, Fußball, futebol, football -- is the world’s most popular sport, and literally hundreds of millions of people are now watching the 2010 World Cup. The championship has also attracted the interest of many non-sports fans since it’s being held in South Africa and marks the first ever World Cup held on the African continent.
The media coverage of the event -- at least the American coverage on ABC and ESPN --monotonously details the alleged evils of apartheid and the glories of the Soweto riots. Various segments between matches portray Nelson Mandela as little short of a god and faithfully follow Hollywood’s White Devils/Black Angels script. Needless to say, there is no discussion of ANC terrorism or the murders of over 4,000 white farmers since the end of apartheid.
Race is also on display on the pitch and for all the talk of diversity, multiculturalism, and a global community, most of the 32 teams in the field feature racially exclusive teams.
