There are more white youth players than black youth players but there are more black NFL players.
What should we conclude from that? That black youth players work harder, that they take it more seriously and/or they have better, mostly black, coaches? Or that they are of better athletic ability? No way to tell from here, but I have seen how intensely it is coached and taken among the 99+% black youth players I would see in Savannah on Saturdays in youth football season with thousands for 11-12 simultaneous games. I have also seen in youth soccer that a lot of white youth are so coddled that they can't even follow simple instructions given by coaches, can't concentrate, don't work hard, and some black players are the same but enough work hard and listen and compete to advance rapidly. So, who is to say what are the keys to success that lead a much higher percentage of black youth to make it to the show?
