ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the phenomenon of "stacking" of players racially by position and the theory of centrality in participants selected to collegiate football's Senior Bowl from 1975 to 1981. More white players were found in all central positions except the linebacker position, where there were more blacks than whites. Analyzes centrality or stacking by examining the participants in the Senior Bowl all-star football game in the United States from 1975-1981. Data were collected and classified according to race and playing position. The purpose of the study was to see whether more blacks than whites have played in non-central positions over this time period. Results indicated that more white players were in all central positions except linebacker. More blacks were found in all non-central positions except tightend and defensive lineman.
