Even if that we accept this as true, it would pretty much only appply to the highest level of specific ability, and even then the simple number advantage of white americans compared to black americans would provide us with "anomalies" just due to large numbers.
The problem with the argument is that cornerbacks are not Olympic quality sprinters, they do not have to be, it is a mix of many different skillsets, athletic, and mental abilities, not just sprinting, thats why sprinters don't tend to make the best football players. I honestly fail to see how people can believe that a white person can be athletic enough to be a wide reciever, a saftey, or a linebacker, but not a cornerback or a running back.
And I really can't see how people buy this argument of blacks being just flat out more atheletic all around than other races. I can see it as an argument for the absolute top tier of specific traits like olympic sprinting, but on the other end of the argument are other sports that cater almost exclusively to one athletic traits are usually dominated by other races.
In pure tests of certain traits, I can buy the different genetic traits of each race leading to certain races winning certain events (black people being faster, white people being stronger, etc).
But any sport that involves a combination of different neccesary traits, both physical and mental, simply has too many variables to be dominanated by any one race.
