Really liked the TV announcers today, but they stated one thing that was odd

Part of it is Jewish people are more concentrated in big cities on the east

Tell me you know very little Judaism, in one sentence. While roughly 30% of Jews

The book on famous Jewish athletes is a pamphlet

Intent was understood and accepted. Source considered in the amt of slack given.

You said Jews are concentrated on the east coast, I would not consider less than

To be exact, 42% of the 7.5 million Jews live in NY, NJ, PA, MA. I'd say that

I thought they said the only Jewish starting QB

But maybe only QB also? I don't know.

The quote was specifically starting qb

And FBS or D1, iirc.

I'm not educated enough to know all of the particulars of the Jewish community in the US — I just notice

I think you’re somewhat right about community priorities. Sabbath makes sense theoretically, but I think in reality

Friday night/Saturday play (Shabat) likely puts a big dent in the number of Jews who play

jdub

Sep 15, 12:09am

Because a lot of them can't play on their Sabbath? Just a guess, that might

Sep 15, 12:09am

Thought that was interesting. BYU football and the church demographics

Jews were never really big into football.

Fifita is LDS? Also missing Leavitt at ASU

BYU '80

Sep 15, 12:09am

He probably meant leavitt and not fifita, fifita is Methodist (quick search)

BYUFootballisBack

Sep 15, 12:16am

Yeah, I think this is right

Sep 15, 6:11am

Yeah Fifita isn’t LDS but Nico Iamaleava at Tennessee is LDS

Kolipoki

I heard that on average, Jewish Americans are a little smaller in stature/size.

We have lots of poly members. They are waaaaay over represented in the NFL

They said only Jewish Division 1 starting quarterback. Why? It may surprise you

Fafita at Arizona is LDS?

Coug98

Sep 15, 8:58am

No, he comes from a family of faithful Methodists
