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....

I don't know. His assessment that McNabe might be getting more glowing praise than he deserves because he is black is probably equally debatable. What this boils down to is personal opinion. Sportscasters are always injecting opinion into their commentary, and basically, everyone on this thread is giving our opinion of this particular sportscaster's opinion. Something else which is extremely common.
