I know that that is the image the media gives us, but it i simply not true.On a 'individual' basis blacks are more gifted on the average in a 'physical semse', ---however you could take a football team made up of the highest rated black players and coached by the highest rated black coach vs. a team made up of the highest rated white players coached by the highest rated white coach and the whites would win more times than not....simply because white players are smarter...do not make the dumbass mistakes made by black players and would not get near the penalties the blacks do which often are game changers....not to mention the whites are 'team players' but the blacks look for individual glory hence all the celebrating one does when he scores a t.d. or whatever.
You are correct .....it is not a cultural factor at play that results in more blacks in the NFL...they simply perform better on a individual level...hence they make the cut...whereas the white guys do not.
Whites dont have the incentive to risk a sports career and so they forego it more often.
And many blacks are just as smart as any white person is. Some of the most brilliant people have been black folks.
Dont buy the medias bullshit.
