This is not a racial BLOG though race is a part of it. It does not air any prejudice. Please take it in that light. It is simply an open observation that may or may not be correct.
First of all, I am now reading rankings in 5A football since Midlothian has entered the 5A ranks this year. Most of the teams ranked in the top twenty are from the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Most, if not all, are made up of largely black athletes. This trend continues into college football and the professional ranks. Alabama and Arkansas playing each other last Saturday were mostly black athletes. Why is that so? It should be obvious. They are the better natural athletes, with a few exceptions.
I watched Midlothian play South Grand Prairie last Friday evening. It looked as if all the players were black except two or three. Midlothian is predominately anglo. They are kids from "blue collar" families because of the cement factories. They are tough, hard-playing kids, but it was obvious the "natural" athletes were on South Grand Prairie's sideline. South Grand Prairie won, though not easily.Three of their athletes already have offers from major colleges.
Another observation: The band, which was a good one, appeared to be mainly anglo/hispanic. The guys in the band recognized wisely that competition for football was too tough. The girls can't play football at this point.
Summation: It is NOT that our team should play the boys in the band! It IS that black athletes are simply dominating football and most sports. It shows that our coaches are being fair and impartial and simply play the best athletes. It also has brought some antics and "showmanship" some of us are not too excited about watching. That goes with the territory.
Midlothian plays Duncanville tomorrow night. We ain't seen nothing yet!!!
