Funny Apology to Cam

Recommended Posts

To be entirely honest, this is what infuriated a lot of posters (myself included). If somebody liked Dareus or Green, somehow it was because of a racial bias.

It's a shame too that most of the trolls that labeled anything without their opinion to be a racist are still allowed to post while those that got tired of the act and bit back were banned instead :(

Then again this is the same board that would've traded Smith for a 7th rounder at the start of the season and been grateful to get just that sooo I guess I shouldn't be too surprised/disappointed XD

As a side note, can we stop with the implied racial bias of doubters when it came to Cam? There were people from all sides that thought he was a scrambling QB only.

Racial bias is about the race of the player. Not the person making the statement.

In other words an African American can make a racially biased statement about a African American player just as easily as a white person can.

Just because a person is white or black doesn't mean that certain stereotypes don't intrude on their psyche.

You can be racially biased and not racist per se. You can't be a racist and like football it's impossible. But you can think that black people are better suited naturally for athletic positions (RB, WR, etc) and white players are more suited for cerebral positions (QB). I'd like to think that our board is above that though.

To deny that there was a racial aspect to some or even much of the criticism of Cam is just denying the real world.

    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
    • Supposedly he plans on staying in college for all 4 years.
