Ryan Clark has a different POV on why Cam is hated.

It's true in a way.  Cam just has a big personality.  He has fun and miserable people hate others having fun.  It's a culture shock for some stuck up folks?  I guess.

There is definitely a racial issue with the casual fans and general public. However everyone here hates nearly everyone on any other team so diehard nfl nerds never even get to race before finding a reason to hate a player.

Don't get wrapped up in stuff you can't quantify. 

You will go insane chasing an elusive rabbit. 

There are people who complain about the taxes after winning the lottery.  Let that sink in.

You know, I think the man is right. That's not to say that there isn't also a race issue, but a lot of people don't understand that Cam is simply being Cam.

They want Cam to express zero emotion, hand the ball to the ref after a touchdown, and keep the smiling to a minimum. Now Cam isn't going to do that, he shouldn't have to do that, and it's not whats in the best interest of the team. The team feeds off of his energy, and it's part of the reason that we are where we are.

Culture and race are linked though.

You missed the part where i said being unable to quantify. 

Enough of the self-righteousness. We're talking about not liking someone or something they do.

People kill for a myriad of reasons.

Why do we say white culture and why do we say black culture. It's because they are linked.

It's why you hear people call rg3 and RW cornball brothers. It's wrong because they can't change who they are as people just like cam isn't going to change who he is and the background in which he grew up. 

So when you hear people say they don't like black culture what do you think that really means? I mean what happened just this offseason with Cam on Facebook posting a picture of him and his buddies after an ATV outing? I'm sorry but this is a bullshit excuse. Educate yourself, step outside your comfort zone.

Oh geez I almost forgot about that Cam vacation picture. Embarrassing moment for the huddle.

Clark is making quality points. Sadly there are still some people who are just quietly bigoted.

[Cary Kollins]

Dang Ryan Clark probably the best I've heard anyone put it.

And then there is nothing you can do about the idiots that hate.

If you get time with them and they are babbling nonsense, talk to them. They don't listen it's on them.

I saw that episode. The only problem I have with it was that Clark said Cam brought the subject up. Cam didn't bring it up, he was answering a question.

 

Other than that, Clark was well spoken and very diplomatic.
