My point is that a great, legend-level Black QB didn't even get drafted in the NFL back in the day. The bias was very real. His brother, a running back, did though.
There's less of it today as teams try to bet the best "bang for the buck" and can't afford to let real talent slip away to other teams just because of racism. But now it goes "the other way" too with Whites getting overlooked at certain positions. :/
You can't counter statistical trends with anecdotes.
