Resentment of success. In another article here, Michael Irvin says its because he won't go out and "make it rain" at the strip clubs with his black teammates.

Hmmmm, my esteem of Wilson just went up a notch

Then they would really have a problem with Peyton Manning.

Here’s a great idea. Put together the best football team in the league, then tear it down with racist comments and locker room dramatics. Great stuff.

Bleacher report is a cesspool of wanna-be sports-writers.

I don’t know why, but for some reason this makes me think of the Religion of Peace.

When they can’t go after infidels, they go after each other over the issue of who is a “true” Muslim.

This issue has set the various sects at each other’s throats for more than a thousand years.

[WayneS]

Not a bad analogy at all.

In other words, Wilson plans on keeping some of his money to live on, instead of letting his “entourage*” burn through it.

If so, I think his teammates have a valid point. He’s not black at all.

*I believe “entourage” to be a French word, meaning “bunch of parasites.”

[Slyfox]

He's not black enough because he is not a baby-daddy, he doesn't go to the strip clubs, he is a devout Christian and he frequently quotes the Bible on his Twitter feed.

Sounds like another quarterback who will remain nameless, who has no team to play for because he is a devout Christian, will not go to the strip clubs and is not a baby-daddy.

Charles Barkley went off on Philly sports radio on this subject. To paraphrase, he said he didn’t even want to bother white people with this crap. That blacks can’t be successful without other blacks trying to drag them down. That a lot of black players go broke because of the loser morons that surround them etc. The lib sports guys were kinda speechless.

*I believe “entourage” to be a French word, meaning “bunch of parasites.”

Another word for it might be "tribe."

[henkster]

Charles isn’t perfect, but he speaks his mind and doesn’t give a damn about political correctness.

[EEGator]

When keepin' it real goes wrong.

[M Kehoe]

If I told the First lady that she wasn’t black enough, and I wanted a divorce, she would shoot me. Not only for stupidity, but for GP.

Guess they want him to talk and act like Marshawn Lynch or beat up the gf/wife the kids do drugs......

This would go a long way toward explaining some of Seattle's play this season, such as the home loss to the Cowboys. Also, IIRC, it was lack of discipline and control in the locker room like this that got Pete Carroll run out of New England.

Isn’t that why Harvin got traded, because he was doing just that, tearing down the team?

Yo bitch, just keepin’ it real cracker
