Mondesire stands by criticism of McNabb

"Especially being the same color I am," McNabb told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "Obviously if it's someone else who is not African American, it's racism. But when someone of the same race talks about you because you're selling out because you're not running the ball, it goes back to: What are we really talking about here?

We were talking about you playing the race card instead of a good football game, Donovan.

McNabb needs to get out of Philthydelphia and make a fresh start. Philly doesn't deserve him.

[Red Badger]

He's over-rated.........

[faloi]

Didn't Rush get crucified for saying he was over-rated?

[faloi]

Err. That's what I get for skimming the article... Never mind.

[highlander_UW]

Where are the accusations of Mondesire being self-loathing?

[Sthitch]

If you go to the ESPN "poll" on this subject it asks how do you feel that McNabb handled this situation. The responses are (to paraphrase):
"He handled it with class"
-and-
"He should not have dignified the criticism"

The response I think is missing "he is a whinny little cry baby who hides behind his race whenever someone has the audacity to criticize his athletic ability"

[indcons]

El Rushbo was needlessly attacked for expressing similar sentiments.

[AbeKrieger]

Philly doesn't deserve him.

Actually the NAACP doesn't deserve to claim him as one of their own. And this ig'nant thug Mondesire makes no statement at all about the behavior of one Terrell Owens. Why? Because, I guess, that's how "they" are expected to act in the upside-down world of mandatory racial division, which is what the modern NAACP is all about. Well, that and monetary shakedowns.

I'm not a huge McNabb fan (nor do I dislike him for that matter), but I'm pretty sure a lot of his hesitation about scrambling this year has to do with the injuries. I'm also pretty sure that, absent renegotiating his contract, he can't "give a piece of his bonus" to anybody.

By calling him a "mediocre quarterback" is Mr. Mondesire making Rush's point, though in a more insulting way?

[hobbes1]

Didn't Rush get crucified for saying he was over-rated?

Yes. Because as Donovan McDrabb hisself explains....

McNabb told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "Obviously if it's someone else who is not African American, it's racism.

[OldFriend]

Evidently free speech and expressing one's opinion is not allowed for whites when they're referring to blacks.

Now blacks are not accorded free speech rights if they criticize other blacks.

THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH

[right right]

>>>>>>>>>>>>>Obviously if it's someone else who is not African American, it's racism


Racist to the core and prevalent throught the race!!!!!!!!!!!

I still can't get over the last 5 minutes of the Super Bowl last year. That says it all right there.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

"I always thought the NAACP supported African Americans and didn't talk bad about them. Now you learn a little bit more."

Must have missed that whole Clarence Thomas "Uncle Tom" thing.

Or the Condi Rice "house slave" thing.

[jimfrommaine]

I'm a Giants fan, and I've always respected McNabb. The problem with the Eagles is their coach. I'm mean with the game on the line in the superbowl, the eagles didn't go into their two minute drill.They just meandered to the line of scrimmage, let precious time run off the clock.
And every team in league has a window of opportunity to get things done. The eagles have had 5 years or so to win a title and they couldn't get the job done. McNabb may win a superbowl but not with the eagles

[Red Badger]

I tuned out at the half last year. Wha' happen?........

[albee]

" I always thought the NAACP supported African Americans and didn't talk bad about them. Now you learn a little bit more."

What did the NAACP have to say about Tookie Williams?

Come to think of it, they said that it was racism to execute that scumbag!

So much for the integrity of the NAACP!

[philsfan24]

giants suck

[Antoninus]

Jerry Mondesire is a racist t#rd who's not fit to carry McNabb's jock.

Donovan is one of the classiest guys in the NFL--which is why lowlives like Mondesire can't stand him.
