“He’s rich and he’s white,” Mr. Simms said of Ross. “That’s why. Sugarcoat it. When LeBron James talks, or something like that, yeah. There’s a lotta [sic] rich, white people in certain news channels that, yeah, they love to say it, but yet they don’t ever turn it around on anybody that’s that way, or that they’re rich or white or if they’re established like that.


This white guy will not be watching football this season.

“hypocritical sports fans”

Well, sort of. The league, owners, players, and sports media HATE the fans. The fans LOVE them. It’s an abusive relationship. Sadly, being a fan of Sportsteam Localish Uniforms is about the only identity people have anymore.

I don’t guess it will make much difference to me.

I have been refusing to watch the NFL for so long that I can’t remember why I first started.

The relationship of white fans (short for “fanatics”) to all black sports teams has been weird for some time.

It’s comical to see stockbrokers and real estate types at courtside trying to be down with the homies.

I do not think the relationship - or the billions of dollars - can survive the truth of how much their “heroes” hate them.

I used to be an avid football fan, but I have no idea what this sentence means. Does it refer to some secret football information?

I haven’t watched a Super bowl since the 2nd San Fran-Cincinnati game. When ads are discussed as much as the game, that should be a telltale sign.

These two really ought to stick to sports, which they acknowledge they've been told. Their alleged argument makes no logical sense. Somehow because sports commentators are supposed to stick to sports in their telecasts, that disqualifies team owners from making political contributions or raising funds for a presidential campaign. But if the owner does, that means it's OK for the sports guys to talk up their own political views. And all that has something to do with LeBron?? Looks like both of them took too many hits to the head.

I forgot Simms stopped for a cup of coffee in Denver. Best he could do was back up Kyle Orton. No wonder I forgot him.

The corrosive hand of liberalism turns where it touches to crap. BTW Simms father is a dick headed liberal as well. So glad I gave up watching the NFL thug league years ago after colon kaepernick pulled his stunt.

The NFL is like a bunch of strippers. They'll pretend to like you, maybe even LOVE you....but at heart they HATE YOUR GUTS.

Sure, they whisper sweet things into your ear, do a grind on your thigh, and make you think they love you...but only as long as you have money.

Once you put your last $5 into their G-string, they despise you with a passion.

I shut Florio up once we he spoke of racism. I sked him if he was racist since he’s Robert Byrd supporter. It was funny.
