Shouldn’t black “quarter”-backs actually be called “three/fifths-back”?
To: dfwgator

“We havent gone anywhere until we quit worrying about the color of a QBs skin.”
About the same thing M L King said. We talk the same language, but we don’t listen if it is profitable, airtime, advantageous or an opportunity to harm. And it is also an unfortunate waste of energy to say, listen, or reason.

Doug Williams is a trivia question I always ask !
What is the only black quarterback to win a super bowl and be MVP?
What is the only quareterack to
Throw 5 tds in a half ?
It was 10-0 Broncos. 1st q. Then at half. 35-10. Skins

Warren Moon?
Oh, yeah! That drug abusing wife beater who somehow managed to get into the HOF without actually winning anything other than a participation trophy!
Now, I remember him.
What a guy!

There are some good young black quarterbacks but the media always tries to anoint one or the other as the next great one. They have one good year or half year and they are already pushing them as a top quarterback. They always rush to crown the next black quarterback before they have a chance to prove themselves. I’m sure that added pressure doesn’t help a young quarterback.

We got posters here think just like the article
I still say Warren Moon was a great QB
now Prescott and Mahommes are good
Both mixed race since we’re so identity particular nowadays

The NFL is run by leftists. The NFL caters to leftists. But the product is still worshipped by the right. The left doesn’t sit around watching this for the most part, their only interest in it as being a big FU to the right as they laugh and watch the NFL promote the progressive agenda.
Is it really any wonder why the left keeps winning? Our side can’t get up off their asses on the weekends to quit watching college football and the NFL.

People who act like obnoxious 12 year olds on the field are not people I admire.
