I am a white sprinter. Coach D are you kidding?
Anyone with any knowledge of the sport and genetics knows in an instant there are massive differences.
Why do you think there have been about 75 black men under 10 seconds and only 1 white? crazy fluke?
I played football in the pre Carl era and for an almost all white high school, so I didn't suffer from the same cultural biases. But anyone who has been around football for the last 1-2 generations knows the opportunities have been biased against fast white kids, and some football coaches have admitted that the system was rigged.
White kid? Are you a quarterback? No, go see the line/linebacker coaches.
Black kid? Do you want to play WR, RB or DB?
White kid goes out for track, he's a distance runner. Black kid goes out for track, let's see if you're fast enough to be a sprinter.
White kids did not get the same opportunity to develop in speed events or speed positions. This is slowly changing, as is the emphasis on explosiveness in sprint training.
