The premise that a coach will pass on a truly gifted player that would add value to their program due to them wearing a mask is a myth.
Lets change a few words here....
The premise that an Employer will pass on a truly gifted Prospect that would add value to their Company due to their ethnicity is a myth.
You see what RB has done, if you don't get asked to join the program, it is because you were not "truly gifted", or wouldn't "add value to their program", not because there exists a prejudice (preconceived opinion that is not based on reason).
I can tell you from personal experience there are coaches, both college and TB, that view players who wear a mask weak, scared, and less skilled.
Prejudice does exist, what ever form it may take.
