I also decided to take a little bit of a different approach.
QB - Yes
RB - Of course
WR - Black guys exclusively, with a little Korean thrown in, because I love Korean bbq
TE - Naturally, I mean Arians is the OC
OL - What the hell. Who else would fans complain about?
DL - You betcha
LB - Beasts, every one of them
DB - More black guys, and a crazy ass Samoan
Other - Exclusively white guys
Let me know what you think? And because it looks like so much fun, I am going to add a poll on which for you to vote.

In case you haven’t noticed, there are quite a few fanposts about this already. Next time try using All-Caps or leet speak so it stands out more.
Like this:
Qb: BB iz Ub3r!!! H3 H4x0r3D j00 M0mM4
That was obviously unique and well thought out.
I hope we have all learned something valuable from this.

Sorry worldtrip
These observations are not going to cut it in a serious fanpost like this one..You will have to think a bit harder and offer a bit more insight. Nice try though…
This looks like a good post to start a wave

That's some racist stuff!
My feelings are hurt that you would say such a thing. Now keep the wave going.

This is Pittsburgh Steeler Troy Polamalu getting knocked around by the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii yesterday...
Minutes later, Troy caught the ocean going over the middle and smacked it right in the mouth. The ocean fumbled, Troy recovered and ran it into the endzone. The ocean never messed with Troy again.
Good job Paul
