[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Liberals hear feel-good stories about black kids that grew up playing football and basketball in the ghetto and made it to the NFL through a scholarship at Stanford, and act as if that's the common standard for all football and basketball players, let alone athletes in other sports like swimming, soccer, lacrosse, golf, field hockey, etc. etc. [/quote]

Nobody who knows anything about football thinks the black NFL players are coming from elite schools. They mostly come from big state schools. Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan, Penn State, Florida, Oklahoma, etc. NBA somewhat similar but different schools - Kentucky, UCLA, North Carolina, Duke, Kansas, etc. [/quote]

Who's talking about elite schools here? And regardless, Duke, UNC, UCLA, Michigan, Stanford, USC, Georgetown, etc. are top schools and feed into the NBA and NFL. [/quote]

The person I replied to said Stanford, you nimrod. And those elite schools send nowhere near as many players to the NFL as big state schools, stop talking nonsense. [/quote]

Stanford is in the top 20 of producing NFL Draft picks over the past 5 years:

They’re ahead of places like Texas (the wealthiest athletic department in the country), Florida State, Oregon (beneficiary of the biggest athletic booster in the country of Nike founder Phil Knight) and Tennessee.[/quote]
