“We’re trying to overcome 100 years – literally 100 years! – of stereotyping of black quarterbacks. And they demolished all of them in that one game.” They also demolished any chance Colin Kaepernick will ever be signed by an NFL team again - because there are 22-year-old black quarterbacks out there with positive attitudes who can perform like that. :)

Who cares. The NFL? They openly disrespect the flag and enable and allow others to do the same.
All for the prompting of a guy who they are too ignorant to realize did so on the prompting of his Egyptian America hating girlfriend
They have to renounce it. All of them as well as the enablers in the stands.
It is disgraceful

“Kyler Murray showed maturity beyond his years,” Murray could be the first Korean NFL quarterback unless you're a "One drop" Jim Crow racist.

As the NFL celebrates its centennial season, a rising vanguard of African American quarterbacks is shattering stereotypes at a position once considered off-limits to black players... That may have been true forty-five to fifty years ago. But it has not been an issue for a long time. Doug Williams won a Super Bowl with the Redskins in ... 1989? How much longer do we have to hear this garbage?!

We haven’t gone anywhere until we quit worrying about the color of a QB’s skin.

Then you look at Lamar Jackson. His field awareness was so impressive.....Not so impressive today.
Browns (with a white QB*) 40 - Ravens 25.
*: It doesn't matter to me whether Baker Mayfield is white, black, or polka dot. But if they're going to make a race issue out of it, so will I.

We haven’t gone anywhere until we stop calling the black QBs “5/8th-backs.” :-P

Wouldn’t that be 3/5 backs?
Well, following the correct math, 1/4 * 3/5 = 3/20 backs?

Personally, I don’t think about the color of the skin of these athletes.
It sounds to me, as if the liberals are the ones fixated on that particular subject.

Until these mentally deficient morons get treatment.

Kyler Murray is way over-rated!
He’s struggling on the field and the press continues to hype this guy who has yet to win a game. A tie and 3 losses, - today the Seahawks looked like they were in a practice session as they defeated the Cardinals.
This is Murray’s first NFL season, and it shows. Not worth the
the 35+Milliion 4 year, including a 23 Million signing bonus.
Sorry, In my opinion ….. all smoke and mirrors and a flash in the pan.
