This research applied a critical quantitative approach to the 247sports.com recruiting website to consider whether the “Black quarterback” label systematically rooted in sport persisted as a mediated form of racial stacking for high school football quarterbacks. A 20-year content analysis (2001–2020) examined race, position code, star value, and position ranking for 3448 high school quarterbacks. The results indicated a pattern of racial stacking through the use of coded language, where 85.3% of “pro-style” quarterbacks were White, and Black quarterbacks occupied a majority (55.5%) in the “dual-threat” code. These findings are contextualized through a QuantCrit approach define here or see below where the greatest concern is the cyclical predictability of recruiting rankings that illustrate the centrality and permanence of racism through the constructed duality of two quarterback codes. This research identifies a racialization of ability that establishes “pro-style” as the property of Whiteness and showcases a fundamental relationship between recruiting websites and the discriminatory language drawn on by media, coaches, and others to demarcate quarterbacks by race. This study illuminates how power works through mediated practice that creates an ideological reservoir of racial marking of football players enmeshed in the historical stacking process.

（回复）编码“黑人四分卫”：对种族堆叠的 20 年批判性定量分析以及“专业风格”和“双重威胁”之间的中介二分法


这项研究对 247sports.com 招聘网站应用了一种批判性的定量方法，以考虑系统性地植根于体育运动的“黑人四分卫”标签是否作为高中橄榄球四分卫的一种中介种族堆叠形式持续存在。一项为期 20 年的内容分析（2001-2020 年）检查了 3448 名高中四分卫的种族、位置代码、星级和位置排名。结果表明，通过使用编码语言存在种族叠加模式，其中 85.3% 的“职业风格”四分卫是白人，而黑人四分卫在“双重威胁”代码中占据了大多数 （55.5%）。这些发现通过 QuantCrit 方法进行背景化，在此处定义或见下文，其中最令人担忧的是招聘排名的周期性可预测性，这些排名通过构建的两个四分卫代码的二元性说明了种族主义的中心性和持久性。这项研究确定了一种能力的种族化，将“专业风格”确立为白人的财产，并展示了招聘网站与媒体、教练和其他人用来按种族划分四分卫的歧视性语言之间的基本关系。本研究阐明了权力如何通过中介实践发挥作用，这种实践创造了一个意识形态库，将足球运动员的种族标记卷入了历史堆叠过程。
