Jason Whitlock’s Argument is Built on Historical Amnesia
Jason Whitlock dismisses the significance of Black quarterbacks winning Super Bowls, claiming the struggle is over because they align with the Black population percentage. This ignores decades of exclusion, position-switching, and denied opportunities. Warren Moon had to prove himself in Canada before the NFL gave him a chance. Doug Williams broke barriers by winning a Super Bowl. Eldridge Dickey, the first Black quarterback drafted in the first round, was never allowed to play his natural position. History matters until Black quarterbacks are no longer asked to change positions or have their intelligence questioned differently. The league must acknowledge the past rather than erase it. Jaylen Hurts winning a Super Bowl is progress. If celebrating Black excellence makes Whitlock uncomfortable, that is his burden to bear.
