The reason there are so relatively few black coaches is because society is still in the process of trying to get beyond the idea that black people aren't up to the task when it comes to positions of authority that require thinking. The reason there are a lot of black players is because white people have never had a problem having black people entertain them and historically blacks have turned to sport because they haven't had the same opportunities elsewhere.

Color is never irrelevant to people whose color brings extra obstacles to face in life and denies them the privileges that people of other colors may have.

That black people in general are more athletic is also of importance

That is not racism that is just fact

Culture/society can only account for a small part of the discrepancy

How long ago was it a white guy won the 100m in the olympics?

I wouldn't say that black people in general are necessarily more "athletic." How many black guys win medals in swimming at the Olympics? A study conducted by researchers at Howard University (a historically black college in Washington, D.C.) and Duke University found that, on average, a black person's legs are longer and torso shorter than people of other races of the same height. People with longer legs are better at running. People with longer torsos are better at other athletic endeavors (such as swimming). You can read about it here:

Of course running is a big part of football, but there is a lot more to it than that. To say that black people are necessarily more "athletic" misunderstands the relationship between physics and sports. Different body types have an advantage in different sports, but cultural factors certainly are important if you're trying to explain why, for instance, there are so many black players in the NBA and so few in the NHL.

With athletic in common parlance it most often is meant as fast and explosive


You can come along way in football by being fast

Why there arent more black swimmers has both culture and fysiological reason

Seems he's had a second operation, glad to hear it went well. Must be bad if he had to have additional surgery.

Yes. That's the party line.
