Default Re: Why are most offensive lineman white and defensive lineman black?

They are very similar positions

I stopped reading there, no they are two completely different positions. I'm pretty sure Dwight Freeney would struggle immensely with blocking Simeon Rice.

Well you don't have to agree with that assessment to answer the question. Explain to me if/how the differences in the positions make one race better suited to one position or the other.

Bias. Rutgers best RB behind Ray Rice was put to DB because he is white. Joe Martinek was one of the best backs that Jersey has had in a long time and decided to stay home.

Edit: And others made a good point about dominant OL that are also african-american.
