Wasn’t Jackie Robinson a Republican?

yes he was.

The blacks who paved the way for today's modern athletes worked hard and had a point to prove. That they were deserving of a chance and were entitled to equality.

Most of today's black athletes, other than "working out hard", have had the rest given to them simply because they could run, pass, catch, shoot or dribble - from highschool on up to the pros.......

Guys like Jim Brown but more so Jackie Robinson had a legit beef. I recently heard that Larry Johnson, RB for the KC Chiefs, was happy to have Herm Edwards as a coach because as a black man he didn't like to be ordered around by a white coach.

This punk went to college, his dad was a coach at Penn State his whole life. This is PC liberal crap giving spoiled kids the ok to bitch, nothing is their fault. guys like Vick and Johnson are more like extremely spoiled brats than poor victims of white oppression (not that you were saying that.)
