It’s only $900k for this season (base salary) and next year is $12m but not guaranteed. The acquiring team does not take on prorated bonus/money. 

Which we'd have been on the hook for anyway when we cut him after the season to save the $12M not-guaranteed. At least this way we get a little something back for him. I'm stoked.

If Hollywood Brown hadn't gotten injured yesterday we probably would have to just cut him. They had like 3 WR's left on the roster so had to get someone.

What does his hair and how he talks have to do with anything, though? 

We make fun of Baker's height, we made fun of Drew Brees and his mole, we made fun of Gettleman and his shorts, we make fun of Tom Brady's prissy looks, we made fun of Rhule's fat, we made fun of JR looking like a corpse, etc. Robby has a funny-looking haircut. PERIOD. It's perfectly reasonable to mock it.

Now, if you want to argue how Robbie speaks/types is a product of his upbringing fine. But you really need to back it up with proof. But we called Cam out on his inane font usage. Social media is fair game. Jesus, Gronkowski is dumber than a box of rocks and if he tweeted odd stuff it'd be perfectly fine to mock him for it. You're a public figure.

Mocking is not racism.

it's just a little suspect they're going after (1) his hair, which is locks and extremely black, and (2) his register of speech, which is unapologetically AAE and extremely black. it feels like they're using robbie sucking and being a jerk as a vehicle to bag on black culture

Dude.  And this will be my last post on this.

 

Between Robbies actions, interviews and twitter posts the dude is a fuging moron.  It has nothing to do with his dialect or register of speech.  Its crazy to try and tag the racism label to folks laughing at this dumb motherfuger.   He cannot string together 2 fuging sentences where he doesnt sound idiotic.  I get it, thats his shtick but being labeled a retard and being laughed at goes with that territory.   I mean is basic English that hard to learn?

Yeah mock him for dropping passing, whining about fans booing, not performing after getting paid, calling Sir Purr a bear. Plenty of material there. His hair and register of speech doesn’t really matter.

saying AAE speakers should learn basic english is racist, full stop. you just negated everything you said prior to this.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…

      I don't really care about your post at all. I just saw the direction of the discussion and this snippet from an article I read earlier in the day was a good spot to put non-Panthers info. I mostly don't care about the players personal lives. That's off the field/personal poo. Not really any of my business.  I also don't know him personally so what would be the point of congratulating him outside basically attempting to draw attention to myself like so many in the social media/internet realm.
