Not to sound racist.... but the fact of the matter is playing quarterback and kicker doesn't require a great deal of athleticism. Blacks are stereotypically known for speed, quickness and agility and that isn't needed to play those two positions. Caucasians are referred to as being slow with not much agility. NOT BY ME.... but that's usually the case when it comes to sports.
That's also the number one reason you very rarely see caucasian running backs, corner backs, and top notch receivers.

Well the majority of America's population is actually white so it is more suprising that there are not more white people playing football at the other positions such as running back and wide reciever. There is actually a higher ratio of black to white quarterbacks than there is of black to white people in America's population, so I would actually say it is odder that there are so many black quarterbacks. But it is odd that there are so few black kickers. I think the punter for U of Miami was black and Kordell Stewart was a punter for the Ravens for a few games! But those are the only two I have seen. Probably black kids play soccer less or they are too athletic to become kickers. Or they don't want to be ridiculed by their friends for playing a position that is regarded as 'soft'.

It's not a matter of intelligence, ability, or like versus dislike. In a lot of cases, youth football coaches probably still operate under the assumption that "white kids are slow" and "black kids are fast." So when they're young, black kids get told "We have a quarterback, you're a wide receiver."
Byron Leftwich and Daunte Culpepper are both great black quarterbacks. Warren Moon was one of the best to ever play the game. Chances are that their coaches early on said, "You wanna fling this ball? Go for it."

you'd be dealt with very kindly. they are going to likely bend over backwards being nice to you so that you're feeling welcome. If the newborn starts to fuss, merely take her to the nursery and stay with her. some nurseries have audio device or closed circuit television so that you may listen the provider in there. it delivers you with a danger to get to understand some the ladies also (who will be searching after the little ones.) My church has per chance 5 blacks so a options (out of about 80 adults). There are more effective black little ones because they arrive on a church bus. They fit in tremendous. don't be apprehensive about going.

This may sound stereotypical, but it's because the black players are more adept to play bigger roles. They are more concentrated the bigger roles than kicker. Also outside of the kicker and punter, the only positions you seem to see white men play is QB, FB and OL, the least mobile positions.

People been asking that for years. A lot of planning goes into the quarterback. I am just repeating what my husband told me. I wondered the exact same thing. He went a little more in detail but maybe no the place to go into it. Too complicated.

well, normally soccer players end up changing to football to play kicker(and not many black people play soccer). and at qb, i think it has alot to do with the fact that black people are more athletic but usually not as fast at processing thoughts and qbs have to be quick thinkers. there are alot of black qbs, but your right that is one of two positions that there are alot of white people
