This topic is too sensitive for some in the NFL thread.
I'm trying to gauge how ESPN, and similar sports sites, would suffer if they tried this stunt with another skin color.
I'm thinking protests, cancellations, job openings, lawsuits, people having to say sorry on national TV.....
Anyway, regarding the question, let's look at some notable black QBs and their contribution to the sport -

Not sure if anyone not named Mahomes (he's mixed, as is Colon Kap....LIKE IT OR NOT) has really made a lasting and significant impact.
