"If a black commentator made the same comments about a white boxer, i would think he is a racist... boxing and football always comes down to the men in the ring and the field... "

Why does he have to be racist? Why can't his assessment be right?

And welcome to FR to you too.

His assessment about McNabb's skills are debatable but acceptable.... His conclusion or assertion about the fact McNabb's being overrated or that he get's a free pass because he is black has no basis in fact...

He sounds like just like the people that would say that black people have no business flying planes during world war II (Tuskegee Airmen)....

He did not give any facts (unless he is going to refer to the media attention McNabb has received because he endorses Campbell's soup) that his ratings are based on his race....

He should not have brought race into it and he knows it... He most likely raised the issue to create some controversy and he succeeded....

"If a black commentator made the same comments about a white boxer, i would think he is a racist... boxing and football always comes down to the men in the ring and the field... "

If a black commentator said "Jim White is overrated because sports writers are talking him up as the next great white boxer", you would say the commentator was racist?

That's backwards.
