Former NFL running back Rashard Mendenhall took to social media Monday to call for a racially segregated pro football game.
“I’m sick of average white guys commenting on football,” the Super Bowl champion said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Y’all not even good at football.”
Mendenhall, who played for the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers, offered a replacement to the existing Pro Bowl.
“Can we please replace the Pro Bowl with an All-Black vs. All-White bowl so these cats can stop trying to teach me who’s good at football?” he asked. “I’m better than ur goat.”
Former NFL defensive end J.J. Watt entertained the idea, noting that the "All-White" team would struggle to defend against Tyreek Hill, a Black wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins known for his speed.
“We’d get cooked at corner, not gonna lie,” Watt said. “Nobody on our squad is covering Tyreek [laughing emoji].”
Steelers podcast host Christopher Carter alleged the seemingly unprovoked post hints at potential mental struggles for Mendenhall.

He is really complaining about the Democrat party.
Maybe he just liked the way it was when we had the Negro Leagues.
The celebrations are unsportsman like conduct IMHO.

Agree! Particularly when the have a group of team members doing a choreographed bit in the end zone after scoring and ESPECIALLY when someone gets a fumble/interception and the play is over, then they keep the ball and run down the field with teammates to the end zone. ...If I was the coach, I would fine each player at least $5 thousand for such behavior.
This is an excellent idea!!
After the game is over we can then do a mathematics competition. Then English, followed by science.
