The origins of this latest attempt by social media users to influence casting decisions occurred last week. After surveying the five mostly unknown white actors said to be vying for the role, Marc Bernadin, a writer for the sci-fi site io9.com, called the choices "bland" and asked, "In this day and age, why does Spidey have to be a white guy?" In response, commenters threw out Donald Glover's name as a possible contender, and a Twitter campaign was born.

Dammit, now this is gettiing ridiculous. They already brother-ized the Green Lantern, Cat Woman, and Nick Fury. Why do we have to change the race of a (for lack of a better word) literary character because it's "in this day in age?" Whatever the hell that means.

Okay, diversity, you can have Spider-Man. In exchange, we want Patrick Dempsey to play Blade. In this Day in Age, why does Blade have to be black? Sure there's already 3 movies and countless comic book series portraying him as a black man, but who'd notice if all of a sudden he pulled a Michael Jackson and turned white overnight?

      Moton Meets the Press

      By TD alt · Posted

      One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.

      Moton Meets the Press

      I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.

      So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
