Correlation vs. Causation

While DDY seems to have a good handle on it it seems like people still want an easy answer of "we need more black kids" and/or "we need a black coach to recruit fast strategy kids".

The racial component is socially constructed and pretty FS. There's not an easy way to group anyone into a simple racial group and say, "they genetically excel at such and such." As poonted out, you're going to have to get more and more specific to make any such claim ex. African Americans that are more than 80% of West African Decent belonging to such and such and such tribes...

This means that you are really specifying geographic genetic groups rather than racial groups. Those are two different things even if they have some overlap.

TLDR There's more genetic variation within a racial group than between racial groups. We DO need coaches who grew up fast strategy to relate to fast strategy youth.

As a plus, Poly's are both a racial and a geographic group all in one so you can probably poont to them and say they are genetically strong mother fuckers. #polystrawng

OK, one thing we CANNOT do is change the FS acronym. It does NOT mean Fast Strategy.

Before this post I thought Dennis was using the old FS acronym to describe recruits and I nodded my head in agreement.

I’m disappointed now. Can we call them Fast Plan recruits to avoid this confusion in the future?

If you look at demographics the future of football depends on Hispanic players and fans. I work with second generation young women whose parents came here in the 80's. Soccer is still king.

There is an interesting doc that has been on HBO the last couple of years about the Latin Explosion in entertainment in America. We will need something similar in sports. Hispanics will pass whites as the majority this century. And no, I don't give a shit or care or feel threatened.

I just want Husky Football to survive

Anyway in the early 60's Jose Jiminez as a bell hop was pretty much the extent of Latin entertainment mainstream and of course Ricky Ricardo. Now it is as influential as all the Black culture we? stole.

@RaceBannon At least in Southern California Football is hugely popular with Hispanics(that I know). Da Raiders are still well loved and from those I know most are excited about the Vegas move(bc who wants to travel to Oakland for a game?). There's also a socio-economic component. If you are wearing a Chargers jersey instead of a Cruz Azul jersey then you've obviously got some real income to be a "futbol americano" fan.

The only kids who played soccer in high-school instead of football were rich white kids with names like Tyler, Blake, Xander, Garret, and Chase. The only Hispanic guys who didn't play football were the ones who were good baseball players. All other sports weren't happening.

Mexicans are the future of football? Fans, maybe. Players, gtfo with that. They are midgets.

"The average Mexican man weighs 165 pounds and stands 5 feet 4 1/2 inches tall..."

Pretty sure we're talking 3 or 4 centuries from now.

Then there's the small hands thing to overcome, too.

What's really weird is the average mexican woman is the same height but 100 pounds heavier.

Isn't Mexico in general becoming one of the most obese nations in the world because a lot of them don't have access to clean water so they just drink coke instead? Paging @CokeGreaterThanPepsi, resident Mexican coke expert.

I guess the problem is a lot of them are still suffering from malnutrition, so you end up with a bunch of 5'4" 300-pounders, who don't generally make great CFB linemen. Other than local hero Stump van Nostrom, of course.

I guess we need to target the occasional 6'2" 12 y.o. We see in the Little League World Series.
