Who exactly am I racist against, and how am I being racist? White on white racism?

I've been told by a wise man not to get in a argument with a ignorant person. Because they will drag you down to there level and beat you with experience.

Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable and actually have to apply critical thinking and question things does not make it ignorant.

Honestly I'm just going to go ahead and say it, I doubt some of these people here would be so quick to convict him if he were white.

Frankly, I'm giving both parties in this case 100% benefit of the doubt.

Much unlike Richie Incognito who I condemned from the start because, knowing his history, I knew the guy was a bullying douche.

Does this mean I hate white people?

Read above post.

Big Ben has allegations nobody even remembers it now. Colin Kaepernick? Oh, we better lock him away now. Oh wait, he actually didn't do anything? Yeah, it's the same story with the huddle, and elsewhere. Hey I'm white, but I see right through this facade.

That must be why the majority in this forum and pretty much everybody I know refer to him as Ben Rapelisberger. Because all has been forgiven and forgotten due to his lily whiteness!

This ain't an issue of race. But I guess you can keep trying to make it one.

You have to open your eyes, I can't do it for you.

I mentioned Big Ben and I've already got someone defending him. What do you think will happen if we make a thread about Mike Vick?

My opinion of Vick is that he's turned his life around rather well and realizes the scrutiny he lives under. His brother on the otherhand... ummm... wow.

The best thing to happen to Mike Vick was to be released by Atlanta because that organization constantly covered for his former behavior and mistakes. Arthur Blank is the worlds biggest pencil-lipped douche.

YEah.

 

Ben is not the best analogy anyway.

 

A better hypothetical would be if this were Greg Olsen. The reaction would have been pretty much the same.

 

Big Ben is a bad example because he already had two superbowls and we tend to forgive our heroes much easier than anyone else. Same with Kobe who already had three rings. A certain segment of people kept him on a pedestal.

 

Hardy is an entertaining stud but no hero status to give him a bye in the court of public opinion.

 

But as others have said there was still plenty of hatred toward both of those superstars.

Unfortunately we had people here defending Incognito, hell even some wanting to bring him in.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
