Racism Quiz


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Did not know Catholicism is race.

Catholicism is a denomation of Christinianity. Show me one muslim president, then we will talk.

I get your point, but... Being muslim isn't a race, either. Nor is christianity.

You can discriminate outside of race. It can be based on religion, or on denomination, or pretty much anything. Discrimination is very real in America and it impacts just about every 'group' in different ways.

anyway, who wants a catholic as president!? he's loyal to the pope, not to the country!1@1!!!

I'm curious who is who, though I don't really give a poo about the "is he racist or not" angle. just because he was negative about a white dude and positive about a black dude does not mean he can't be racially bias in other cases... but there is no evidence that his comments about Cam Newton WERE racially motivated. he just doesn't like Cam Newton, which shouldn't be a crime, but the way he lashed out at him is very weird to me. Still, when people roundly criticized Clausen for his arrogance, sense of entitlement, lack of leadership skills, poor judgment with how he presented himself off the field, etc, nobody said those correspondents were racists even though not all reports agreed on Clausen having those characteristics (similar to how not all reports agree about Cam).

Nawrocki doesnt speak for the entire media world, this thread is useless. He sounds more like he has a personal gripe against gifted young men who receive additional help or guidance (who happen to make a lot more money than he does with less education). just my opinion though!

The problem with this thread is that whether or not this PFT guy I never heard of is letting race influence his take on QBs really has nothing to do with whether that's generally commonplace.

OP seems to think this quiz will disprove the existence of racially-influenced analysis. I don't see how it does that, and as others have noted, it seems impossible to deny that certain characteristics have often been associated with athletes of certain races, and that those are often unfair.

Just because Moon might be wrong about this guy doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
