Dr. Tracie Canada has an article in Scientific American claiming that “football’s violence disproportionately affects Black men.”
As someone that has reviewed the article has stated:
Canada’s premise is essentially that because “nonwhite players account for 70 percent of the NFL,” black players get injured more often". However, why would Canada think otherwise? Why would anyone? What did she expect from a league that has a 7-1 ratio of nonwhite to white players? What’s next, any accusation of an injury between two black players being classified as black-on-black crime?
Furthermore, Canada accuses the NFL of “racial stacking,” which she described as a process of “racially segregating players by playing position,” which, in turn, “places Black athletes at a higher risk during play.” So what is the point here? Does Canada want more white players to play football? After, literally decades, of social justice enthusiasts, people like Dr. Tracie Canada, pushing to get more black athletes in professional sports, now the argument is there are too many and the result of this surplus is some weird form of systemic racism?
My next question is did the Federal Government fund her to do this "study" to the tune of several million dollars?
