Reply to [Rapoport] Sources: Raiders QB Derek Carr has informed the team he won’t accept a trade to the Saints or any other team. The team is expected to release him and he’ll be a top free agent. by BCLetsRide69
Raiders are stupid. They will take a major cap hit by releasing him. Just let him play another year. He had the worst year of his career and he’s not a bad quarterback

Why does it matter? Whether you want to believe it or not, on a local level there was a mindset that blacks didn't have the mental capacity to be quarterbacks. Because of that, young black players were often guided to other positions. If they expressed interest in the position as they got older, they'd have to compete with players who had been quarterbacks their entire lives.
Quarterbacks on young teams are often sons of coaches, and there's historically been a dearth of black coaches because of the same thought process that impacted players.
There were never more than 12 black quarterbacks in the NFL in any season before 2000.
Ask again why it matters.

I don't know why people are negative about this story? It's a great article and this feels like a big deal imo.

I never thought I would see the day the black QBs would be the future. After years of Mike Vick-types and them only being runners. I remember thinking the RPO was a phase like the Wildcat. Happy its succeeding and people never got phased when morons labeled them a runningback.

Checks out. I'm sure Ukraine only hired Hunter for his knowledge and good character.

Great tournament and experience. I was on the first-ever girl’s team to play in it and have a lot of fond memories. I’m sure these boys will too. I wish them luck!

I’m not sure for the status of this team but I do know that teams can mix up their teams with better players from their rink. I know this has happened with the first team we played (still won though).

You sound like every mentally deranged hockey dad I’ve every met. Since the schedule has been released you have been on My Hockey researching every team to understand your chances of winning. It’s fucking youth hockey, relax and let the kids have fun.
Their first game was 3 - 1 and the last goal was an empty net goal. Boston was up early in the third and lost focus at the end letting in a couple late goals. And you think they are playing two leagues down? LMFAO - what you need to do is tell little Johnny to suck it up and play harder, you crying like a baby about team placement isn’t good for anyone and will not help your team win.
