Are the media downplaying the Patriots’s chances of breaking the all time scoring record because the offensive squad is almost all white?

I’ve created a YouTube segment that updates this piece I did at Examiner.com.

It discusses how the New England Patriots’ overwhelmingly white offensive unit, with nine of eleven players being white, has a realistic shot at breaking the all-time record for points scored in a regular season, and asks whether the media are downplaying the Patriots’s chance at breaking the record because of the team’s whiteness.

The parts you’ll appreciate most are the beginning and the part starting about six minutes in. There’s a lot of football-related material in between.

There are two games left in the regular season. The Patriots’ game today starts at 1 p.m. Eastern time.
