oldmanfan Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 I just passed by a TV in the doctor's lounge and they had on First Take. And the banner at the bottom said that Taylor is suggesting the change may be racially motivated? where's that coming from?
Stank_Nasty Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 they totally butchered that headline. they referenced his interview from a month ago when he said it was hard being a black qb and then ESPN decided to add fire to it by putting that topic up like he just said it yesterday due to his benching. 1

They are using comments by TT from a month ago when he stated African American QBs are held to a different standard in general. It’s literally fake news, it was NOT said in regards to his benching. One of the most irresponsible stories I have ever seen. Honestly, ESPN needs to be held accountable for this garbage. This is the kind of thing that can hurt Tyrod's career for those who didnt watch this terrible segment and came away with the 100% False idea that Tyrod blamed race for benching. If I was TT, I would talk to lawyers about slander, its that bad. Edited November 16, 2017 by Alphadawg7 3

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 you know, I've never been racist, still not, never will be but it's getting really tiring hearing these players play the race card. tyrod, you did not and likely never would of lived up to expectations. take it like a man and leave the race card bull **** out of it! *that is if he is playing it?
SaviorPeterman Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 Doubt Taylor said this but if so hope they cut him immediately to send a message.

Yeah, watching at home and furious at this non sense. Even my girl came in and was like "What an idiot, he is gonna hurt his career blaming race for his benching". Then had to explain the whole story to her and that it wasn't what happened. She left saying this is why the media sucks so bad because if I had not explained it she would have thought the story was true. Just now, DaBillsFanSince1973 said: this seems right. It is...they said in the segment it was comments from a month ago. So they decided to just make up a FAKE headline to discuss a topic they invented.

You should change the headline...its going to create a highly inaccurate and false argument here where no one is gonna read the responses and react to your thread title assuming he said these things, which he did not. I get why you made the headline title, but now that we have confirmed for you that it was a made up ESPN headline and that he did not say it, you should rename the thread title: ESPN falsely claims Tyrod blamed race for benching
oldmanfan Posted November 16, 2017 Author Posted November 16, 2017 I never watch that First Take show. And this will ensure I never do in the future. what nonsense. Thanks for clarifying.

He didn't play the race card but Mike Schopp did on his show yesterday.
thenorthremembers Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 Regardless if he said it recently or not, the narrative is out there. Heard it yesterday on WGR and now ESPN is running with it. Bottom line is good Quarterbacks dont get benched. Ask Warren Moon, Donovan McNabb, Dante Culpepper in Minnesota, Michael Vick, Russell Wilson, Cam Newton, Jameis Winston and you can even add Marcus Mariota to that mix because I dont think its fair to limit the scope of the statement. The statement is wrong, and detrimental in so many ways.

Cutting Taylor is a half assed measure if there ever was one. Our First amendment Rights need to be severely limited or revoked if we're ever going to get better TV ratings and sell more pizzas.

If more fake news then ??♂️ Seriously, this is so freaking stupid by ESPN! Unbelievably irresponsible and now people who only caught the headline and didnt catch the 10 seconds in the middle of a 10 minute segment that admitted he made the comments over a month ago are going to rerun the story as if its true. I am so disgusted right now, just a complete joke of journalism. If First Take and ESPN want to debate whether or not it played a role, fine go right ahead. BUT DONT put a headline up falsely claiming the player blames race because of a question he answered a month ago where he felt (rightfully so) that black QB's are held to a different standard. Seriously, I would be on the phone with lawyers this morning about this if I was TT. This is so slanderous and will negatively impact him even though he never once said what they wrote as their headline.
