The black athlete revolutionized sports. They have a must win attitude that causes them to be absolute players out there at all times because (and this is a little known, yet semi-obvious fact) most of them came from nothing. We are talking dirt poor here. Many are the first in their families to go to college, and dispite what the ridiculous hip hop culture of today would tell you, 90% of blacks don't want to be "OG's" their entire lives. They want to make their families proud. The best way to do that? Use the talents you have available. Get a degree, and play on sundays. I play college football, I believe 67/85 guys on our team are black. The reason? I have a friend who plays football at Notre Dame. We graduated the same year and worked out together really heavily. We were talking, I mentioned how when I was a kid i sat in my basement playing videogames and how I regret it now. He laughed and said he never played videogames as a kid, his mom couldn't afford them, nor would she let him play them. She threw him outside and gave him a football. All he did day after day was play football and dream about playing for either Notre Dame or Ohio State. Turns out all that practice made him an athlete, he stands 6'5, weighs 245-250 pounds, and runs a 4.6 40 yd dash. He got so fast because when he wasn't playing football, he was racing other kids....
Theres a real life example of why black athletes are normally so much better than white ones.
BTW, I'm white.

Not to be racist at all because I do have quite a few black friends, but the "must-win" attitude you say black players have is a bit of a fantasy. I have huge amounts of experience in this area (you may be surprised), and most of what I have seen from black players (about 70/110 players on my high school team alone were black) is a focus on what football can do for THEIR lives, and don't give a damn for the team. Not true for all, but it is true for a good amount. I was told by quite a few about how much money they would make when they got pro (THIS IS BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL) and about how THEY are making the team better, and if THEY can get the ball, we should win. That's the difference between the white man's view on the game and the black man's view. Black players are mostly self-centered ( and I'm NOT saying that they are bad people), white players play for the team. Of course, I've known some black players that are really good guys and came from dirt-poor homes, and tried to change their lives by playing football as hard as they can, but the majority aren't like that. Anyone with college or high school experience will know this. Well, maybe depending on where you live.
I'll also say this for those on here that are saying "black athletes are so much better than white ones" bs. They are a bit stronger and a bit faster, but saying white guys can't hang with black guys is stupid. Both receivers my senior year were white (me and one of my best friends on the team), and both of us contributed heavily in our first game of that season, as our team stunned the best program in the nation by 10. I had 5 catches on the game, he had 6 (not bad for a run-based team). But to be fair, the player that led us through the game was our black tailback who blew his ACL in the second game of the season (now a DE at Florida State, don't know if he'll start this season or not). He was a great guy too. After blowing his ACL, he came back for the last game of the season as we fought the eventuall state champs to the bitter end. Hardest working guy I've ever known, because, like I said, I'm not being racist; just handing out facts I've learned through my experiences. Sorry, I'm getting a bit off track now, but hopefully you guys see my point.
