Jason Whitlock: The white team won the AFC championship

[eurotrash]

At least that's the logical assumption according to this article: http://msn.foxsports.com/...ate-culture-clash-011912

I wonder how this paradigm plays out in the Superbowl.

BTW, it's sports related but still I was a little reluctant to post this because I'm a typical guilty white southern male who tries to be regarded as anti-racist as possible. I embrace diversity and I get noticeably and vocally offended on behalf of various non-whites when I detect the slightest untoward comment. I think I should be angry at Whitlock for this piece, but I'm not sure if that's acceptable.

Most of Whitlock's articles have to do with race. Admittedly, the Patriots are different. They have a white running back (Woodhead). They use white punt and kick returners. Their best pass catchers are Hernandez, Welker, and Gronkowski. They have a white guy who plays both ways at receiver and defensive back (Edelman). Hell, they have a Mississippi Private School player at a skill position (Ridley).

I think Belichick doesn't worry about stereotypes. He doesn't think that dropback QB's should be white and tailbacks should be black. He thinks they should simply be winners, regardless of race. Welker plays because he helps them win, stereotype be damned. Ochocinco sits because he doesn't help them win.
