[The Ref]

Interesting to take a look at the word tool in this link. Type in any word and you see how many times it was used describing white players and black players in scouting reports leading up to the draft.

Motor
Bubble
Intelligent
Burst

Etc

Unconscious new coded racist words? I'm sure it's not intentional, but the results are revealing. Try it.

[The Ref]

The word "however" is interesting. Used twice as often for black players than white. More caveats, I guess.

[Melchior]

Fastball:

White players: 0.58
Black players: 0.04

[JuTMSY4]

Lazy was used more for white players than black players

this is a silly exercise.

[Melchior]

Oddly enough, black was never used, but for white:

Total number of uses:

1 use(s) for white players

4 use(s) for black players


This goes deeper than we ever thought.

Without controlling for position, this is pointless.

For example, wingspan w/b is 0.73/0.45

hands w/b is 26.58/33.23

Racism, or more white OL vs black WR?

That's on the MEDIA. They are drawing from Media-generated scouting reports.

Correct.

Speaking of coded words, can one of tell this rookie what "nm" stands for?

[Eagle In Ohio]

No message, I believe.

You can't post just a headline of a reply, with nothing in this box, so if you don't want to type anything, just use nm.

Thanks!

Did anybody run the numbers on "hung like a mule?"
