Repete397 3rd String

If you google Jewish quarterbacks

Ok Ky five total come up and two played way back when. Josh Rosen is the only other recent one. There have been a fair number of Jewish football players and even more baseball players over the years. Surprisingly well represented in NBA history as well.

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

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

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

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

Because BYU has a football team.

Then why do none of them play for BYU?

Anything to do with the Frieberg paintings in the BoM of Captain Moroni, Helaman, and Nephi being jacked?

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?

No, he comes from a family of faithful Methodists
