Hey, the quarterback is usually white though. They are the smallball cognitive players who lead the team with grit and hustle and think about the field like a chess board, and other platitudes with racialized undertones
This made me think about that word-cloud thing they made of football commentators' different comments on white and black players, and they found words like "athletic, explosive, fast, agile" were mostly black-aligned terms, and "smart, tough, hardworking, and strong" were more white-aligned terms.
Or how in MMA whenever there's a black fighter Joe Rogan doesn't actually know about, he just flips on his "he's very explosive, but will he get tired" dialogue.

Unless the Quarterback is black, in which case they're "glorified running backs" with great athleticism, but who lack mental prowess and grit.
