Bronxbomber21 Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 Did the broadcaster that was talking about a Dirty Sanchez get suspended just curious because that was pretty bad.

Expand That shoulda got some discipline. Holy Guacamole, if you don't know what something means, don't say it! And especially don't say it on the air!

I think successful professional football players are guys who take responsibility on themselves and are trained not to "make excuses" I'm sure they're all aware that it's very difficult to see the ball, but I wonder if they reflect on "why is that?" or if they're just "I need to pay more attention"

BillsShredder83 Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 Its relevant and a good point. If it causes even a split second of hesitation the dude Is gone. Hes already faster than you. It's actually an interesting point.

Looked to me like he oddly sucked.. fyi, this thread is getting borderline tossed into PPP or shut down due to the desire of some to pontificate their politics. Refrain. And I’m looking specifically at you, @ArtVandalay. 2

This whole thing is stupid. He shouldn’t have said that for his own sake- not cause it’s wrong, but cause it’s not a good look. What he said was factual, and not derogatory, some people will bend over backwards to find racism wherever they can. All that being equal, it sounds like he was discussing a legitimate football topic and said something silly without thinking through how it might be taken. If it’s in a bar with your best buddies, nobody thinks twice cause it isn’t about his race, it’s about the way the ball is viewed (or, not viewed) from the eyes of the defender. On radio, it’s gonna get some pushback. At the end of the day, Lamar has dark skin. He’s great at a play fake. Dark colors blend in better with dark colors. I’m glad they’re wearing white this weekend. Expand What about it "isn't a good look"...what does that mean? How might it be taken? There was nothing derogatory about it.

You need to know not to go there, even if there is nothing negative intended. You are just opening yourself up to........this. Talk about the jersey and you’re fine. . Expand But "this" is NONSENSE. It's surely some corporate pearl clutching, and something no rational person would give a crap about, black or white. Part of "getting past racism" is getting past these ridiculous fake controversies. Edited December 5, 2019 by 32ABBA

Why not say it? Lamar Jackson has dark skin. Is that a racist observation? Especially in the context he used that observation? Hell no. Expand I agree. This stuff gets ridiculous. He was just stating a fact. You just need to look at the picture posted above. His skin tone is similar to that of the ball. If it was a white QB, the ball would be easier to see.
Doc Brown Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) My first reaction to this was will this was will this distract the Ravens at all this Sunday because of how ridiculous the whole story is. You have to be careful with what you say if you're a public figure but an apology would've sufficed as I saw no malice whatsoever in what he said. Edited December 5, 2019 by Doc Brown

Doesn’t offend me AT ALL but people are wayyyyyyyy too sensitive these days....and as a journalist you should know that if you are talking about someone’s skin colour, especially in the context of how it might be camouflaging the ball during play action.... just doesn’t look good.

Scott7975 Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 I don't think it was a racist comment, but I can see why he got suspended in this day and age. 1
bmur66 Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 Funny, I said darn near the same thing to my wife during the 49'ers game

The Bills need to switch to medium-brown uniforms, and Josh needs to dye his hands brown. Expand I would think football-brown sleeves and gloves for a RPO QB and HB would be an advantage for them. Paint a football in the belly of the team jerseys as a decoy? ........maybe not. To the people saying things to the effect of "these days you should know better" , I want to remind you that we are these days. Does it offend you? I mean really? I don't see how it could, so stick up for his right to speak what he sees or we're all in trouble. Shape and color create reality, we need to keep some things true.

But I also see why he was suspended. Edited December 5, 2019 by BehindTheWoodshed
