Former Dem congressman suggests Shedeur Sanders fell in NFL Draft because 'America fears strong black men'

Draft the circus, get the circus.

[ExpatCanuck]

Yes, that is why there are no strong black men in the NFL… oh, wait.

[dfwgator]

I do think Shadeur can be a decent NFL quarterback, but teams just don’t want the drama that will come with him, thinking Deion will be the ultimate “helicopter parent”.

[roving]

I don’t even watch sports, so leave me out of it. I don’t know this person. I must assume he’s not good enough.

[dfwgator]

And I will go out on a limb and say Shadeur will have a better NFL career than Cam Ward.

[dfwgator]

Yes, that is why there are no strong black men in the NFL… oh, wait.

If I were Cam Ward, I would take his words as an insult.

J-Maaaaaaal setting off alarms again. The boy needs to get a life.

[ansel12]

He is fighting to break down the race barrier keeping blacks out of pro-football.

[bk1000]

OMG, it’s always about black. Can’t be that perhaps he isn’t a desirable player, or has other issues. Gotta be that whites fear a strong black man.
Hardly.
Maybe white liberals who are terrified of their own shadow, much less an actual black person, but no one on the right is afraid of a “strong black man”.

[Macoozie]

It’s an NFL Team.
Not an Island of Misfit Toys.

a TEAM.

What rock has Jamal been living under?????????????

[TexasGator]

“Bowman added in the video that he expects the Cleveland Browns to select Sanders with the first pick of the second round Friday night.”

Round 4 starts in 20 minutes.

[Bon of Babble]

This season (2023), Shedeur Sanders has been sacked 45 times by opposing defenses. He was sacked 35 times in his freshman season with Jackson State.

This doesn't have anything to do with his NFL prospects, right? Teams don't care about how long the quarterback holds the ball or how many times he's sacked, right?

[silent majority rising]

Dumbing down America.

[I want the USA back]

A complete idiot blaming failures on Whitey.

[cuban leaf]

Remember, kids, the first one to mention race is the racist.👍

[BipolarBob]

Keep an eye on the UCLA twins (Madden and Nico) at UCLA to see if their dad screws up their career.

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah, and the proof is that the NFL is lily white, in comparison to the NBA. /sarcasm

[cnsmom]

This is the prejudice thinking of Barack Obama he said his grandparents were afraid of black people. Obama is the ultimate racist born and bred.

[BipolarBob]

Any bets on if he goes in Round 4?
