Racism
Between 1920-1926, only 9 black players played in the NFL per season. The NFL remained all-white after World War II. By the 1960s, the rival AFL openly recruited black players from smaller black colleges, dominating the NFL in equality. By 1969, a photo of the Super Bowl showed the Chiefs with 23 of 51 black players (45%) compared to the Vikings with 11 of 42 (26%). Racism still exists in the NFL today, though the league is now 67-71% non-white, with positions like running back and cornerback dominated by black players. Players have spoken out against racism following events like Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the anthem.
