The fact that blacks are only 12% of the population, and whites 80% is very telling. Way more white athletes.

Are there "far more" white athletes? Women are over 50% of the population...are there "far more" women athletes?

There is already an error in your line of thought.

Cant say the same for white basketball players.

Sure you can. You just don't want to because it's easier to ignore them.

Can you take your analogy to explain all the years before we let pros play? Also hockey?

Here you defeat your own argument. There should be lots and lots of black athletes dominating since they are:

In this case you are showing how Pat is correct in the discussion of which sports they have the opportunity to play.

Same with this.

Because half its roster were black players. The first NFL team with that large a number of black players....some like Mel Blount, LC Greenwood, and John Stallworth drafted from small black colleges.

Ah! I see! You think because they went for the best athletes available from ALL colleges it was "the blacks" that put them over the top? Blacks played in the NFL for a more than a couple decades before the 70's. The Steelers had plenty of black athletes even when they were a bad team. What they did was go to SMALL schools and find talent...not just black schools.

Uh, yeah there were some racists owners (Marshall in Washington being the most famous) but what you are talking about is a reflection of society as a whole until post WWII. Throughout the 60's those attitudes changed.

And in the early years of the NFL there were still black players...but it was harder when you had to worry if the fans were going to lynch him on the way out of the game if their team happened to lose.

If blacks took an interest in hockey or swimming they'd dominate those sports too.

Again, there are plenty of black hockey players. But, again, this goes back to opportunity.

What is the cost of hockey equipment versus basketball? And how many schools have vibrant hockey teams in black areas?
