There's not a single white cornerback in the NFL. To me this is a bit racist, as it doesn't reflect society as a whole. The NFL, to be inclusive of all races, needs to do more to encourage more white athletes to become corners in the NFL. Otherwise it's just not fair or equal.
Obvious a troll post designed to engender strive among people with different colors of skin.
The reason why there are more black cornerbacks in the NFL is simple, they are overall the fastest and most agile athletes.
The NFL hasn't submitted to the flaws of affirmative action. The best person qualified gets the position, which is why I still watch the sport.
We all know the point of this thread - the best person should always get the job, regardless of the type of work. Some people apply it selectively while others want it to be universal.
The NFL, and any other professional sport, is a meritocracy. That seems to be OK, even if some races are disproportionate to the population as a whole. Why can't meritocracy be the rule of law for everything?
Merit is subjective, and it IS the rule for everything.
You just don't like the outcome.

I'm supposed to believe that one deserves a promotion because he or she scores better on a promotion test?
Actually, your answer doesn't suppose me much.
I'm guessing that you are more concerned about the percentages of race in these positions instead of the capability of being able to properly command firefighters in life or death situations.
No, it isn't. It isn't subjective that a college grad has more education and knowledge than a 2nd grader.
Sure he wasn't able to pass his medical exams, but he's such a nice guy I figured why not let him operate on those patients.
