It's hard to follow this guy's slang-filled stream of consciousness diatribe and the article does it no favors by breaking it into pieces, but I THINK he is asserting that black QB's are more athletic and that rules that protect QB's are not for them but for the white players. He additionally thinks that the league has it in its best interest to make even more strong QB protections to enable more white players to be viable in the position, for the express purpose of having them be successful and marketable enough to replace the black QB's as the 'face' of the league.
Let's express his points more clearly:
blacks are more athletic than whites
blacks are bad for league advertising
a winning black quarterback is the face of the league
the new crop of drafted players are black quarterbacks
the league must curb this if it wants to survive
the mechanism will be a rule change to enable whites to be competitive
the rule change will be something to encourage QBs to be sedentary, passive, and untouchable (because whites are such bad athletes)
the league will use any excuse to promote a white quarterback to save itself
This is funny because he tries to place racism at the 3rd degree of separation. He doesn't think he is racist, nor are the league owners racist, he thinks they (the owners, not him) think the average American consumer is racist and will only buy tickets if the quarterback is white. His opinion is that racism will apply not because he is racist, not because the employers are racist, but because the employers believe (mistakenly? he never says) the audience of their product is racist.
The innocent non-racist commentator comes up with the speculative case for racially motivated rule changes that take the form of protecting the bad athletes whom are white so the non-racist league owners can cater their product to the optionally-imaginary racists in their audience.
ESPN: "Racism is so powerful it can bend reality to its whim by only POSSIBLY existing in a vague collection of unnamed plebs."
This is all so tiresome. They're talking about 2-generation meta-racism. I can't imagine giving a shit.
The NFL is part of the system (the "regime", or whatever you want to call it), and they're incapable of taking their foot off the gas. The Cultural Revolution must continue accelerating, so they'll continue removing whites from the sport until viewership crashes.
