Former NFL running back Rashard Mendenhall set the sports world ablaze on Monday with a racist remark on X bashing white people involved in football. While the corporate media ignored Mendenhall’s comment, social media lit up the former player and brought back his most painful moment as a professional in the process.
Mendenhall, who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals, was triggered over white players analyzing football on television and decided to weigh in. He said they should shut up because they are “not even good at football.”
Mendenhall next called for replacing the Pro Bowl with a Black vs. White Bowl, assuming the Blacks would dominate. He then said he was better than the White’s “goat.”
Tom Brady and the NFL’s current best running back Christian McCaffery from the 49ers (who is white) were unavailable for comment.
Not surprisingly, Mendenhall got lit up on social media for his disgusting comment. Many took time to remind Mendenhall of his greatest professional failure: fumbling away the 2011 Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers.
To add insult to injury, the player who caused the fumble was Packers legend Clay Matthews, who happens to be a white guy. Mendenhall refuses to acknowledge to this day he threw away the Steelers’ seventh Super Bowl.
Here are some of the most brutal posts:

It’s safe to say Mendenhall lacks any self-awareness and is completely blinded by his narcissism. Just imagine if a former white player had made a remotely similar comment.
NFL Ping!...................
Some things never change.
An IQ 75 always shows itself.
Wow. Talk about a total lack of awareness.
He says he is great at football. Well.
The whites can do just fine on offense with Josh Allen or Joe Burrow, Christian Mccaffrey, Cooper Kupp and Travis Kelce at the skill positions. Black would dominate on defense. But then, when the close match up comes to kicking field goals . . . uh ih!
CTE? 🤔
A racist and grossly illiterate.
“Rashard Mendenhall set the sports world ablaze on Monday...”
Yeah, I’m thinkin’ he’s the one who got lit-up!
I’d be willing to test the best white professional football team that can be assembled against the best black professional football team.
When the Dream basketball team went out in their second Olympics, they got their behinds handed to them against supposedly less talented countries because the other countries knew how to play as a team and the Dream team did not.
You are being quite generous with that 75 rating!!!!
Content of character ALERT!
Whites have greater upper body strength and ruggedness. Blacks have better lower body strength and speed.
Hah...if he was still with the Steelers, he’d be learning Japanese soon.
Being a GM in professional sports is such a precarious position that they tend to be very conservative in putting together their rosters. Better to go with the herd and if things don’t work out, at least nobody will accuse you of making unreasonable decisions. Part of that is picking players who “look like” other successful players at the same position. This, as much as measured speed or athletic talent, is a partial explanation of why certain skin tones tend to dominate certain positions on the football field. All this is to say that I’m pretty confident that a very competitive all-White NFL all-star team could be fielded.
Is that you Jimmy the Greek? Thought you died.
rashard strikes the thinking man pose in his photo
oh the irony
Facts is facts.
Jimmy the Greek was the 1st victim of nfl diversity.......and it’s just gone further down the toilet since
While it is undeniable that Black football players are talented, the recent increase in black representation in the NFL is more due to the fact that white parents are not pushing their kids into football has hard as they used to due to revelations on the effects of brain damage due to the repeated head impacts from the game.
The pool of talented white players entering the game is shrinking as white kids pursue other sports instead of football.
