Debated putting this on OTW but it'll just end up here anyway. Figured I'd save Beerball a headache.

 

 

“Two sources — one inside the team, one outside of the underachieving 3-3 Seahawks — tell me that much of what was written in Mike Freeman's Bleacher Report column is true,” Mayne said, via PFT. “(Freeman) wrote of turmoil involving since-traded Percy Harvin and the quarterback Russell Wilson that led to a more widespread internal battle pitting those for Russell Wilson and those against.

 

"And Freeman surmised on his own an issue among some teammates regarding Wilson that quote, 'he isn't black enough.' A certain expected behavior based on color, apparently. One of the sources told me, quote, I don't know how he got all that stuff, but it's pretty much true. We do have a divide. We're working on it. Thursday that notion was not presented to Wilson, but over and again, questions came about Harvin's departure.”

My favorite part of the article is the C. Thomas Howell reference. Made me think perhaps Crayonz wrote it:

May want to rewrite the thread title, Mr Scribe. It looks like CBS thinks that Wilson isn't black enough.

The same was said about RG3, a "Cornball Brother". You know, like Clarence Thomas... not really black.

I had forgotten how 'bad' that clip was.

So...a black athlete dates a white woman and is a republican and that makes him 'questionable' as a 'brother.' Tiger Woods says he doesn't want to be known by the color of his skin and that makes him the racist? Braids, however, remove any doubt as to the urban 'cred' of an individual.

 

He better still be unemployed.

Maybe they're just trying to sell America's new #1 hit comedy Black-ish

 

I never understood how after one or two episodes of a CBS series, Jim Nance spends more time pimping "America's hit new #1 whatever" than he does covering the game

“There are a lot of black people who are unintelligent, who don't have success,” he continued. “It's best to knock a successful black person down because they're intelligent, they speak well, they do well in school and they're successful … It's just typical B.S. that goes on when you're a black, man.” He also described the situation as ”a dirty, dark secret.”

 

well said, except that it's not much of a secret. how many people here have ever done (or not done) anything because 'it's what a white person would do'?
